Why do humans feel the need to create some sort of intangible realm of connection to some other being? (whether it be to God, Gods, or each other . . . .) we seem to imagine our subconscious minds connect to something greater in some ephemeral place.
I understand that this idea stems from human loneliness, and our sense that we cannot connect to others - but are we not going about this backwards?
I mean our minds are the one thing we DON'T share! THIS is the place where our minds connect (not yahoo answers, as great as it might be, but in existence). This is where we can learn to understand one another. This is where we are inextricably a part of everything that is - a mere drop in an ocean no doubt - but a part of the ocean none the less.
Is this not the forum in which we ARE connected to something greater than ourselves? And that something is the all of existence.
When existence is seen from this perspective I have to ask what is it that makes us think we are alone?
