On Humans Being

Within each of us resides a symphony of extraordinary forces that shape our lives. It is truly remarkable to consider the intricate workings, vastness, and near infinite potential of 4 core aspects of the human being. Let’s take a moment to explore: Our Emotions, Our Minds, Our Bodies, and Our Spirit.

The unending rollercoaster of our feelings stretch from Heaven to Hell. They can take us from the depths of sadness to the peaks of joy, from wrath to grace, and from darkness to euphoria. Within this spectrum of emotions lie entire universes of experience that grow, fed by our curiosity and attention.

Our minds are incredible engines of creativity and imagination, capable of conjuring up endless worlds and thoughts. They have the power to shape our perception of reality, as well as bring that reality into existence for others to experience. Daily they lead us down pathways of novelty and wonder. Miraculous in nature, for they are also learning machines, ever adaptable and capable of both constructing and dismantling entire worlds.

When it comes to our bodies, it’s all too easy to fall into the trap of self-criticism and dissatisfaction. We often find ourselves lamenting our perceived flaws and imperfections, forgetting to acknowledge the sheer brilliance of our physical beings. Our bodies are nothing short of extraordinary—they are resilient and tenacious, fighting off illnesses and healing wounds. They carry out countless intricate processes, absorbing and adapting, responding to our every command.

And let us not forget our spirit, for it holds a profound significance in our lives. It serves as the invisible thread that connects us to the vastness of the world, to the boundless wisdom and love that envelops us. Our spirit is a nourishing manna that infuses our lives with warmth, wholesomeness, and endurance during challenging times. It brings a deep sense of blessing and gratitude, reminding us of the profound interconnectedness of all things. It makes us cohesive, connected and invites us to leap beyond what we know. Indomitable, it is the source of our freedom and joy.

Each day we wake to a wealth of experience that is nothing short of astounding. Being truly limitless, every single one of us encapsulates more within ourselves than the entire universe around us.

We may not, as of yet, be capable of exploring the vast reaches of our outer universe, but we were born with the tools needed to explore the infinite universe within. Let us be brave as we explore, question, and experience our states and structures of consciousness with inquisitiveness, honesty and compassion.
