Internal, External, Eternal, Now
Some days I wonder at the concept of being human. So many different cultural variances, mores, rules as to what is and is not correct behavior as a human being.
When you come to bare bones you have this: You are born, you eat, sleep, excrete that which entered your system, wake up, eat, excrete, sleep, and move foreward from there…You learn rules, all kinds of rules, and internalize those rules into your every movement, sometimes you rebel against those rules. That too, is learned behavior, is it ever really you? When you individuate, is it ever really individualisation or merely the awareness of being you.
If you stay there, you are stuck. Because as a cell in the body is individual, if it does not act in concert with other cells, the body becomes ill.
As I sit looking at the world I know, I do wonder. Have we moved to a place where we can move beyond the incessant need for individuality? Can we be true to ourselves while searching the greater part of our species, our world, our universe. Imagine if we could surpass our technology with our humanity? What if we could evolve to such an awareness.
What would that look like?
