- Connectedness and Separation – Pt.4 – Open and Closed States
I believe the NDE teaching I received on connectedness and separation, reinforces what we all know instinctively, we are a part of something bigger. We are a part of the all. It has many names, God, the source, the all, the everything. Those labels all refer to the same thing. It is the place that we, and everything we interact with, comes from. It is all things, everywhere, all at once. Complete, 360 degree truth.
Pt.1
In Connectedness and Separation – Pt.1, I wrote about how I learned that everything and everyone is connected. I learned about the illusion of separation, between each of us and between the source. I learned how the directional forces of “For” and “Against” take hold of our modern day lives and keep us wrapped in the illusion of separation.
Connectedness
Connectedness is the fact that everything, everywhere, all, comes from “the all”. Everything is connected. It’s as if “the all” is the sun and we are each a single ray of sunlight emitted from the source.
Separation
Separation, is the illusion that we are disconnected from the all, and disconnected from each other. The illusion that we are human first, or only human, and have no other connection to each other beyond being “human”.
For and Against
Connectedness can be considered as the force called “for”, a supporting force. Separation can be considered as the opposing force, called “against”. When we understand connectedness, we understand that everything in the human plane is “for us”. It is “for us” because we are connected to whatever “it” is, while also being connected to the source.
Our Human Journey
In order to understand the reasons we apply connectedness and separation to our lives from a human perspective (“for us and against us”), we have to understand why we are here on earth. We are here to learn.
Pt.2
In Connectedness and Separation – Pt.2 – Individual Achievement vs Collective Movement, I write about how my life review taught me to live a life of collective movement instead of individual achievement. I write about how modern life is setup for individualization and separation, and how we can filter our lives with a simple daily question.
Individual Achievement
Individual achievement isn’t just about a life that appears self-centered, it doesn’t have to look like my previous life. A life focused on individual achievement can also resemble a life lived on a solitary path with the sole purpose of self-enlightenment. For example, a guru who goes off to live in the woods, and keeps all of his learnings to himself instead of sharing them collectively. His sole focus is his journey.
Collective Movement
A life lived for collective movement means a life lived understanding connectedness, see Connectedness and Separation – Pt.1. We need to understand that we are all connected, all learning, and all trying to progress to a higher level of understanding. An understanding which brings us closer and eventually back to the source. Collective movement is the opposite of individual achievement.
Modern Life
Every part of modern life is setup for individualization. If you have been following along and understand the NDE teachings so far, you don’t have far to reach to understand why our world is setup for individual achievement and not for collective movement.
How to Filter
What is the best way to filter our individual achievement focus? What is the best way to do something that supports collective movement and connectedness? You already know the answer.
Pt.3
In Connectedness and Separation – Pt.3 – For and Against, I explain how I was taught how the directional forces of “For” and “Against” help define our perception and reality. I also wrote how “Opinion” and “Understanding” affect the directional forces of “For” and “Against”.
The Force “For”
The forces “for“ and “against“ are closely related to positivity and negativity, but more nuanced. I’ll use the following examples:
- I am “for” compassion.
If compassion had a direction in time, a motion heading left to right, then “for” would be in alignment, because “for” does not oppose compassion.
The Force “Against”
The force “against“, creates a secondary force that is in opposition to the original force. In the statement below, the force “against” is creating a blockage or a “closed state” to compassion. We as individuals, are creating the secondary force. We, are creating the blockage.
Opinions and Understanding, For and Against
Every human has opinions. Our modern world is built to support the illusion of separation and opinions are the foundation of that illusion. Most of the opinions we have as humans are based on the force “against“, “picking a side”. They ignore the fact that we are all connected.
Pt.4
In Connectedness and Separation – Pt.4 – Open and Closed States, I write about how we form “open” and “closed” states of being. I explain how stillness is the doorway to access with the spiritual plane. I also share a few tools to help facilitate stillness within, and how clairvoyant and psychic abilities are open states of being.
The Open State of Being
The state of openness is a state that cannot be chased. The state of openness is a state of acceptance, a connected state, a state “For”. The state comes from the ability to be receptive to communication between our light being selves and the “all” in the spiritual plane.
The Closed State of Being
The closed state is a state of being that lacks acceptance. The closed state does not necessarily lack knowledge, it lacks understanding. A closed state fights, or creates motion in opposition to, “against”. The closed state does not understand that everything is “for” us.
Tools and Resources for Stillness and Openness
You can find a list of tools in the “Resources” tab of this site, where I’ll continually add items, books, music, apps, etc. that may help with your progression. The list below contains general items and practices that can be used to aid in finding stillness.
The Takeaway
We can not escape the fact that we are all connected to each other. If we accept that fact, and we understand that we are here on earth to learn, then we are in a position to help each other, and to live a life of collective movement. Through this understanding, we align with the force “for”, and create an “open” state within, to receive information and blessings from the spiritual plane. If we chose the illusion of separation, either consciously or unconsciously, then we welcome the force “against” into our lives, and we knowingly or unknowingly create a “closed” state.
Forgo the closed state. The closed state results in dis-ease, anxiety, depression, sorrow, anger, judgement, and a host of other issues that will hinder your progression in life. Seek to understand each other, to understand that everything is “for” us, that everything is connected. Only then can you truly be open to the spiritual plane.
