Chaos leads to death of the illusion of the separate

Maybe it is our senses that keep us grounded in this Individual sensation. We keep trying to find purpose.

Maybe the idea that there are so many messages going on at once, blah blah blah — the new connected world as the sociologists said. But maybe this is not overwhelming and making all the messages impossible to listen to, but maybe it is a oneness instead?

We may be able to realize we do not need to worry so much about this chaos. Maybe this chaotic stage is a necessary stage to get past the illusion of individual. Maybe this chaos is just a stage — as we are all becoming more globally connected. Maybe it’s the individual messages that we can’t seem to do properly. Language, culture, and Egos seem to be getting in the way. We want to defend and protect these things — our culture and our egos.

We keep trying to extend those through our children and we see this as how we achieve immortality. We see this as believing in something bigger than ourselves.

But if we could see everyone as an extension of ourselves, see everyone as us and everyone’s children as our own, if we could see one culture, then we could avoid this conflict with survival of the ego and survival of the culture because self preservation would not be necessary. We could see death as illusory and protect all others, protect the global home, respect a global culture and ultimately reduce suffering.

And suffering often seems to get in the way of recognizing that separateness is an illusion. Physical suffering keeps us bound in our own physical body, reminding us that others are others, not feeling what we do. Mental suffering keeps us bound in our own isolated mental cell, others are others and not thinking what we do. But of course some are, others have, most will. It is an illusory separation of time and/or space burdened by our inability to communicate across time and space effectively.

We suffer because we are scared for us, for those we see as extensions of ourselves. We are scared of this tiny bit of physical reality we believe to be all of ‘I’.

Maybe we have a way to overcome this ego portion. Maybe the jump across that boundary is limited by the number of people we can connect with over time, but we build, we connect.

Our ego is so base though. And sometimes we try to tap into these carnal desires through art as well. And I wonder if expressions of these carnal desires could be released in ways that do not hurt others, could this help us all be kinder? I think of the lizard monkey in our head. You do not kill him, you distract him. You find a way to manage with him still there. Could technology provide that distraction? Will evolution provide that?

But I have a hard time because I cannot let go of the fact that others have come in the past and currently and up until we devise this solution. If the others are us, perhaps. But when I do not see the oneness, when I see the previous others as separate, then I hurt for them and I do not understand how THE solution is the same as a solution. As in a solution might affect all those after time X, but THE solution would need to affect all those ever. This is very hard for me. Suffering of others [and myself] is very hard for me.
