Our Involvement


Our involvement: 

it's the nature of our involvement, that by examining any one idea about ourselves we always arrive at something larger, our lives being far more intricate and involved than ever previously conceived. Through this inquiry we find that we have roots, our reach in earth as deep as every tree, being made by the very same particles that once gave form to ancient life, in essence, our involvement is one of intimacy and true belonging. Really, we are an aspect of earth itself, elements made through the explosion of stars, DNA traced from a single cell form emerging from the sea. 

we are simply life...intimately involved.

there's no wish to find any source of divinity here, no belief in a soul that is apart from any other aspect of the world. It's all divine, everything, and the only proof  needed is in seeing how it's all a shared involvement, threads of a single design, the fabric of existence. Life is holy, undivided, and thus heaven is found directly where we are, one thread leading to another, an endless, sacred loop. 

that's my involvement.

and yours. 

this too is why there's no individual karma, every action is of benefit or harm to the entire world. Knowing this, deeply so, we're no longer afforded a short sighted vision of our involvement. Everything has consequence, we're stewards of our own agenda here, continuous life, and suffer or gain by our own present actions. We're all intimately involved with each other, with the earth, all of existence, and simply by virtue of our own appearance here, that we're unable to find a single point of separation. It's all life, ours, never just mine, always ours, and nothing is ever excluded.

it's a singular involvement.
