Sounds very like my own special spot. If your inner rhythm matches that
which is around you, you will find yourself in connection. Words cannot
properly describe it. Each has their own sensation.

doing is to go to the far end of my backyard in the evening, where I
have a "grotto" surrounded by trees and bushes. At times I've felt
connected with all of the plants and animals (mostly insects) around
me. Was I really connected? I don't know, but it sure felt like it.

Is this not just another degree of separation?As we delve deeper
into the individual mind more questions arise. As we move farther
away from the rhythm, vibration, the "feeling" of the world, solar
system, and up to the universe (Higgs boson particle/wave, we move
more deeply into the realm of the single entity, the ego. But this
"deeper delving" can only occur when we have the freedom or "spare
time" and the early stimulus from family and community to do so
instead of running from wolves, chasing the antelope or attempting
to "pay" for our lives in this day and age.
Is the "understanding' only to be thought of, or is it to be
*felt*? Can a "vibration" be properly understood by thought if one
has never felt it. Just as difficult to explain "heat" with words
if there is no concept of the "feeling" of something hot (the
intense vibration of flame). By only nurturing the mind, we run
the risk of separating from the spirit, thus placing ourselves
inappropriately above all else. By relinquishing the feelings, do
we not run the risk of further separation of individuals thus
leading to further insanity as the ego demands more and more for
its self in this realm but which will never be received due to the
loss of connection to the spirit? Just as there is more to life
than work, there is more to the human than just mind or thought.

[PV] I dont know, I rather think we would all be better off if
we would
stand up to the challenge of learnig to be comfortable with just
saying "I don't know". I think it's the first step required on the
journey to discovering what is actually going on.
But will we ever know "what is actually going on"? It's only
been comparatively recently that we've realized that 95% of the
mass-energy of the universe is quite unlike anything else we know
and is, at present, completely unknowable. Then, too, as the
particle physicists peel away yet another layer (e.g. the Higgs
boson) in particle accelerators, will we ever get to the end of it?
To me, the biggest mystery of all is that, whether we believe in
a God-created universe or, simply, in one as-is or, at creation
and shortly thereafter, as-was (when we're talking of Higgs' and
other particles) then how come that we, a by-product of it, are
actually asking questions that are far more incisive and curious
than anything that might have been selected for mere daily
survival by the normal process of evolution.
