THE SIGNS ARE INDEED DIRECTING US ...

[Michael Grove]

Living by a consciousness of wholeness prioritizes the whole, engenders a response based on harmony and cooperation, and places a unity of purpose above all else. At the same time, a consciousness of wholeness acknowledges our diversity of views, appearances, and contributions to the whole as our sustaining strength.

This consciousness calls for a complete shift in how we relate to reality. Seeing  beyond the illusion of separation allows us to focus on the one reality which is already a unified whole. Anything currently dividing us is also a catalyst for uniting us. We saw this last summer when the streets filled with people calling for racial justice and deep systemic change. A convergence of forces is building like never before. As we join hands across differences, we seek to heal a great divide in the human family.

Faith is Essential

In our collective adolescence, arguing our differences was more important than listening for common ground. Discipline and character got discarded as old-fashioned limitations to the individual’s freedom of self-expression. Savvy technology is what we put our faith in. When we found that nothing holds, we end up swimming in a sea of addictions and apathy. Conflict reaches its climax in adolescence, and neither institutions nor individuals appear trustworthy. Our public life has massively forfeited rational inquiry and integrity, embraced fabrications, and become defined by the lowest common denominator of expediency. We are left bereft of anything to put our faith in. And life without faith is only existence, permeated by self-defeating ego, and collective dishonesty.

NEVER forgetting that: "EVERYTHING [IS] CONNECTED to EVERYTHING ELSE, all VIBRATING at DIFFERENT RATES" and there is no better explanation of this enduring fact, throughout OUR OWN UNIVERSE • as perhaps just ONE of a MULTIVERSE of UNIVERSES • than the Stardust Episode of the BBC Series Wonders of the Universe, which is being repeated on BBC iPlayer for all the world to enjoy and revel in Professor Brian Cox's explanation of the very fact that:

"y[OUR] STORY [IS] THE STORY of THE UNIVERSE because written into y[OUR] BODIES [IS] THE ENTIRE HISTORY of the UNIVERSE from THE TIME of THE BIG BANG to this VERY PRESENT MOMENT"
