[nukkad] One With The Cosmos



----------------------------------------------------------------------------
 "All great deeds and all great thoughts have a ridiculous 
beginning." - Albert Camus 
----------------------------------------------------------------------------


~ One With The Cosmos ~
Differences, borders, lines, surfaces, and boundaries
do not really divide things from each other at all;
they join them together. All boundaries are held in
common. 

When you understand this, you see that the sense of
being 'me' is exactly the same sensation as being one
with the whole cosmos. You do not need to go through
some other weird, different, or odd kind of experience
to feel in total connection with everything. 

Once you get the clue, you see that the sense of unity
is inseparable from the sense of difference. The
secret is that what is 'other' eventually turns out to
be you. That is the element of surprise in life - to
find the thing that is most alien is you. 

If you go out at night and look at the stars you will
realize that they are millions and millions and
billions of miles away - vast configurations out in
space! You can lie back and look at that and say,
"Whew! Surely I hardly matter. I am just a tiny
peek-a-boo on this weird spot of dust called Earth,
and all that out there was going on billions of years
before I was born, and will still go on billions of
years after I die." 

Nothing may seem stranger to you than that - more
different from you. But there comes a point when you
will say, "Why, that's me!" And when you know that,
you know you never die. 


 


Alan Watts

And Books, South Bend, Indiana, 1982
