Inclusiveness
Inclusiveness is not an idea, but the fundamental nature of existence.
We're inseparably united not only with all people, but with all living things.
We aren't going to have peace on earth until we recognize this basic fact of the interrelated structure of all reality.
We have the technology, resource, and capability right now to address every issue on the planet. The only thing missing is inclusive consciousness.
A human being is a part of the whole, called by us the 'Universe', a part limited in time and space. He experiences himself, his thoughts and feelings, as something separate from the rest - a kind of optical delusion of his consciousness. This delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to our personal desires and to affection for a few persons nearest to us. Our task must be to free ourselves from this prison by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty.
Why do you stay in prison when the door is wide open?
Existence is not divided. Everything is happening as one phenomenal process.
You are not IN the universe, you ARE the universe, an intrinsic part of it. Ultimately you are not a person, but a focal point where the universe is becoming conscious of itself. What an amazing miracle.
Every one of us is an aperture through which the whole cosmos looks out.
The greatest tragedy of human existence is the illusion of separateness.
We are here to awaken from the illusion of our separateness.
There is your body and my body, your mind and my mind - but there is only one inclusive consciousness.
Out beyond right and wrong, there is a field. I'll meet you there.
True love is boundless like the ocean and, swelling within one, spreads itself out and, crossing all boundaries and frontiers, envelops the whole world.
The beauty you see in me is a reflection of you.
