How can we be individuals and be as one at the same time?

Think of different colours? Isn’t there a distinct difference between yellow and green? Of course there is. Yet when seen on the spectrum, the delineation is not as evident. Only when seen from a distance can we distinguish a gradual separation.

But when seen from even further away, we see all colours blend into unity. The part we see may seem white, but the spectrum extends far beyond our perception. If we pulled back further still (and had eyes evolved to see longer and shorter frequencies), we would see that white itself, though distinct, is but a part of a spectrum.

Yellow may be distinct from green or even ultra violet, but seeing the whole picture reveals that we are indeed all one.

Besides, in the end, it’s all just photons at different frequencies.

Getting one’s passion going may seem difficult when starting from an inactive state, but think of it as starting a lawn mower. It takes quite of bit of energy to crank the engine into a chain reaction. Once it’s going, however, it requires no effort at all to produce plenty of energy and make things happen.

The same with pushing a heavy object. Once you have overcome inertia and the initial friction, it takes much less energy to keep moving.

You just need to do that initial push.

(Blog note: My computer had died and I had no access for some time. Regular posting is now resuming.)

Some principals I have accumulated (this is not an exhaustive list):

  • All are equal. None are ever above or beneath another.
  • Be kind. Do not harm, take from, or limit another.
  • Anyone can do anything they care to. Caring about what you are doing makes it much easier.
  • Be mindful of every consequence your actions may have upon all that may be affected.
  • Objective understanding opens up options and provides precision in final effect.
  • Rationalism and emotions are devoid of significance on their own. Humanity’s blessing is to reconcile and master both.
