| D:Day37.3 | Recall that creation begins with movement. Being is only being in relationship. Movement nor experience exist without relationship. Thus the world does not exist without relationship—as nothing exists without relationship. But relationship, like being and experience, does not differentiate or individuate you in separation as it does in union. Separation and the contrast of the separate define every relationship with either/or rather than both/and thinking: that is, you are a woman and not a man, you are a human being and not a divine being, you are a person and not a tree. As a separate being, you only relate to other separate things. In short, who you are being is all predicated, first and foremost, by the relationship that you see yourself as having to the world around you. Since you see yourself as separate from it, all that you experience with your being is separation. All that you represent with your being is a separate being or a separate self. |
