Relational Being
Relational Being
Individually we tend to think that who and what we are is determined from inside – that we define ourselves. This is only half of the truth.
What we are is also created by what the universe sees us to be.
We operate in a relationship to myriad layers with varying degrees of freedom, from fixed to fluid, continuously reshaping and reinventing ourselves, and altering aspects of our exterior.
- The universe contains the definitions of what we are materially and biologically, from atomic structure to DNA.
- The world holds information from our ancestry and our personal past about the way that we have come to be.
- Other people hold perspectives, memories and points of view about who they perceive us to be.
- Aspects of our existence are recorded in the information that external systems accumulate about us.
- We ourselves construct our being and our worldviews through our lifetimes, holding memories, thoughts and intentions.
What Does This Mean?
How We See Ourselves and the World
We construct our worldview and it changes, sometimes a little and sometimes a lot.
This worldview drives our decisions and our choices. We may adapt ourselves to the world/others or we may seek to control it/them.
How do you sense the flow of the world? How do you interact with it? What if you could be part of the flow, neither controlled or controlling?
The Universe is a Living System
The unrecognised scientific reality is that the world is not only material. Beneath that, it is shaped by information, in continual change and flow.
We are embedded in that information flow, shaped by it and shaping it. Being sounds like something static and passive. When you fully BE, you are an active participant. To live as if you are completely connected means entering in to a collaborative unfolding.
Keys to Entry
When you think of yourself as matter, you can only interact at a physical level. Your sensing and awareness of yourself and the world are limited. You have a sixth sense, a seventh, and more. We speak of gut-feel and instinct but we make our conscious mind the boss. It is not as clever as it thinks.
You can also know and sense the exterior through INTUITION. The information flow is directly accessible. This is a natural capacity that you can learn and develop.
In addition, you are EMBODIED. Your body is aware of itself and its interior needs, as well as subliminally detecting the exterior, including other people.
