Human connection

Human Connection

For as long as you can go back in our history, religions and mystics have talked about our connection to one another.  Our human connection can be felt, it can be measured, and our human connection can show up through empathy and energy.  Did you know that the iron that pumps through our blood to keep us alive is only, and I mean only, created when stars crash into each other?!  That is huge!  We are all created through stardust.  Our connection goes back to start of the Universe!  Millions of years later we reached a stage of consciousness.

What is consciousness?

Definition of consciousness via Merriam Webster:

1 a :the quality or state of being aware especially of something within oneself
   b :the state or fact of being conscious of an external object, state, or fact

   c :awareness; especially :concern for some social or political cause

  • The organization aims to raise the political consciousness of teenagers.
2 :the state of being characterized by sensation, emotion, volition, and thought :mind
3 :the totality of conscious states of an individual

4 :the normal state of conscious life

  • regained consciousness
5 :the upper level of mental life of which the person is aware as contrasted with unconscious processes
Now, when I refer to consciousness, I am referring to the awareness that you are alive and the conscious minds of all of us being connected.  We are all taped into the same source, what some may call “God”.

I always say, “if I am in a scene with a great actor or actress, I should be able to feel them with my back to them.”  Now, to be honest, I don’t know if that is our vibrational emotion and intention, or if it is our conscious mind connecting, or if it is what scientist refer to as the field.  Either way, we have many different types of connections; and, if you are able to relax and feel your own awareness often, you will increase your connection with one another.  If we can all increase our awareness, we can truly get closer to living via the Golden Rule, which I am sure you all know.  We would want to treat others with such reverence because our awareness takes in to account that these other people are just another part of the whole in which we are all a part of.

    Hey Dean… Nice piece! My wish is that more and more people would understand these connections as well as the ripple effects that can and do occur as a result of a human interaction. Most people do not understand the energies that we pass to one another when we interact, let alone the implications it has on the interconnectivity on the human mass as a whole. I like to think that if we (as a whole) brought our conscientiousness to bear throughout our daily travails, successes or experiences, people would definitely see an uptick in fulfillment and success.
