THE TOTALITY OF HUMAN EXISTENCE
From your first breath to your last heartbeat and beyond, every feeling, every thought, every word and every action is some form of relating - a continuous state of extension, connection and interaction.
Ponder the magnitude of this truth.
Everything you do is some form of relating.
Everything!
Skeptical?
If so, close your eyes and review your day. See the many threads of relating that weave throughout the course of your day…you and your family, co-workers, classmates, friends, and neighbors. Often, the most important thread - the strand of relating that occurs between you and the many levels of your own being.
Try as you may, you will not find a single second of your existence that is not some form of relating - and this truth applies to every single human upon the planet.
Simply put, the totality of human existence is relating.
Moreover, because the totality of our existence is relating and the only variable is how we relate - we determine the quality of our existence by the manner in which we relate.
Again, ponder the magnitude of that simple truth, we literally determine the quality of our existence!
The pursuit of “hu•man•u•ni•ty” now becomes paramount to the nature and quality of our existence.
Why is that?
Because the highest level of relating is oneness – be it the oneness of individual love or the greater unity of the whole of humankind.
Therefore, as we travel the path to “hu•man•u•ni•ty”, it is essential that we recognize and assimilate these fundamental truths of human existence:
1) The totality of our existence is relating.
2) How we relate determines the quality of our existence.
3) Oneness is the highest level of relating.
For it is with an understanding of these truths that we can take our next step towards “hu•man•u•ni•ty”
