Wisdom and Love

[Diana]

Do you guys ever catch yourselves in similar circumstances? What brings you back to the love of the moment and the beings around you?

In general: I spend a lot of time alone, working, and have for many years. I do not have to be around other beings in order to experience love in the moment. In my opinion, separation can manifest at any time, even and possibly most affectingly when one IS around other people. Love or oneness is an underlying principle that grows and permeates an entire existence, and seeps into the strata of life. I never feel alone while working, until a challenge arises such as some underdeveloped software or inadequate tutorial brings me into my logical mind and stresses me out. Otherwise I remain in a timeless and oneness state with what I am working on. Any artist will contest this phenomenon. So it is, in my opinion, the 3D social and societal aspects of living in this reality which create feelings of separation.

To your question specifically, the easiest way to bring me back to a feeling of oneness is to experience nature—walk outside around trees and plant life and wildlife, look at the sky and clouds. I also find that once in a while something I see makes an adjustment in my perception, such as seeing a homeless person. The idea here, I think, is to get out of box of self, and to extend awareness out and out to include all, without thinking about how things "out there" only affect self (this can be very difficult to recognize). Insects are a good way to exercise this idea—when you see a spider or ants in the house, what do you do?
