Sanity is a relative term.

Quote:
==============================

"The seeker is he who is in search of himself. Give up all questions except one: "Who am I?" After all, the only fact you are sure of is that you are. The "I am" is certain. The "I am this" is not. Struggle to find out what you are in reality. To know what you are, you must first investigate and know what you are not. Discover all that you are not -- body, feelings thoughts, time, space, this or that -- nothing, concrete or abstract, which you perceive can be you. The very act of perceiving shows that you are not what you perceive. The clearer you understand on the level of mind you can be described in negative terms only, the quicker will you come to the end of your search and realise that you are the limitless being". - Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj

Answer 2

Depends upon what you mean exactly.

If you mean, that you can see our connection between each-other, as well as our connection to the earth, well thats normal. Everything has the same creator.

"For ever since the world was created, people have seen the earth and sky. Through everything God made, they can clearly see His invisible qualities—His eternal power and divine nature. So they have no excuse for not knowing God."
Romans 1:20

Answer 3

The lord said we are all created equally and have been given alot of the same qualities from the blood of Adam and Eve.
Its very common when people say oh you look like this person and you act like this person.. but there is only one person no one will ever be like, and that is the one that this quote refers to "I never seen the likelyness of him before, and I will never again see the likelyness of him again after him"PBUH

Answer 4

Yes. Beneath, as well as in and through, our many concepts and teachings (there is one teaching, and all teachings teach it), there is this sane and magnificent reality, this "something" that somehow creates, and is, all living things. You already are in everyone and everything, might as well know it consciously; in fact, knowing it consciously transforms your life: change the way you see the world, and the world you see will change.

"Be transformed by the renewing of your mind." --The Christ.

Answer 5

Hmmm thats an interesting observation which in itself doesn't make you insane. Believing you are a devine being would though.

Answer 6

Sounds like you see into "the undifferentiated plane of reality." The question, is it sane, is answered by how is it useful in this incarnation?

Answer 7

i don't think so. i believe throughout my life, the interactions and experiences i've had with people has shaped me mentally and physically. every relationship and friendship, i've taken bits and pieces to form my ideas and beliefs. my parents, teachers, friends, lovers and jobs have guided me to be who i am. i don't know if understand my point, but this the best way i can voice it.

Answer 8

I'm beginning to see myself everywhere.

Though I'm sure Michelle must be right!

Answer 9

It called narcissism and is not generally normal.
Come from the Greek.......narciss a boy who love to look at his reflection in the river so much he forgot to eat and died. A flower grew when he died ....the narciss.

Answer 10

If it's sane to see everyone and everything in yourself.

Not that sanity matters.
