Unconsciously Connected
Everything you do, every local change in the universe provokes a change in the rest of the universe. Every action causes a reaction everywhere in the rest of the universe. The universe is interconnected at every level, throughout all levels, from the smallest to the largest.

“Something ancient in us bends us toward the origins of the whole thing. We either drown in the splits and confusions of our lives, or we surrender to something greater than ourselves. The water of our deepest troubles is also the water of our own solution. In surrender, we descend down to the bottom of it and back to the beginning of it; down into what is divided in order to get back to the wholeness before the split. Healing, health, wealth, wholeness: all hail from the same roots.”
— Michael Meade, “The Genius Myth”
“Despite the pressing problems and mounting concerns, the issue is not so much saving the planet as saving humanity from itself again. When times become dark and difficult the issue for those on earth comes down to living authentically, to authenticating the purpose and meaning already present in each soul.”
- Michael Meade, “Why the World Doesn’t End”
“We enter our essential “creatureliness” and learn to sniff at the world again. We learn to read the wind and find our way by sensing and intuiting, by imagining and by dreaming on. Eventually, the dream of the soul becomes the only hope; it becomes a prayer and a map as well. In allowing the journey to “have us” we become lost; we lose our usual selves in order to find our original self again. Lost souls are the only ones who ever get found.”
— Michael Meade, “Fate and Destiny”
Somehow we humans became disconnected from ourselves. Our situation has no doubt been developing for some three thousand years. Finding our way to reconnection will not be easy because we have established complex cultures based on disconnection. Our social conventions reify separation and its logic.
We take note of other societies where a sense of interconnection prevails but they too deal with human fear and cruelty so we dismiss them. And since they lack our technology, it’s easy to call them primitive and subhuman. Our arrogance and attachment to our sophisticated tools stand in the way of any basic change.
We have not yet realized how lost we are. It will come as a shock when real collapse happens because we’ll be asked to look at and question ourselves more fundamentally than we have ever been willing to do. I think we’re entering a new age of learning about the world and our role in it. Our gods will all die. The gods of profit at any cost will start to look like devils.
We’ll be consciously lost. It will become more difficult to make up facile and comforting lies to live by. ( I can hardly wait). Maybe truth and love will find their way back to the center of the known universe again. Stranger things have happened. Maybe we’ll finally become worthy of the prodigious gifts we’re given.
We comfort ourselves with a superstructure of childish fantasies that are unworthy of us. Humanity has the potential to create societies of love and justice instead of the opposite. We find ourselves in a time of dissolution, which means we have a chance to rebuild with a different vision. It’s time to turn our attention to what that vision will be.
As Michael Meade says, the soul has its dreams too. We need to arrive at a point where we can listen for those storylines. They are connected to the World’s Soul, an intelligence we have tried to ignore. It’s time to come to our senses.
