This was such a simple passage to grasp but one that proves to be ‘difficult’ to live. As a human being, we’ve associated our existence with our sensory perceptions, that the idea that we can somehow live beyond the 5 senses seems hard to comprehend. In the book, The Seat of the Soul by Gary Zukav, he introduces the concept of us shifting from living as five-sensory humans to multisensory humans.

It’s obvious to see how the world can be in the state it’s presently in because we’ve deviated so far from our spiritual nature, losing touch with our inner vision. Lao-Tzu mentions that thinking weakens the mind, as we can see in the “monkey-brain” activity that we’re all suffering from. The mindfulness business is booming right now because we’re in a desperate need for a cure to our schizophrenic disposition. We’ve allowed reason to trump over feelings/intuition and we can see that in the mass anxiety/depression that’s robbing us of a life well lived.

As we raise the collective consciousness and gear up to enter what has been called “The New Earth”, we can’t solely base our sense of self upon our 5 senses, on logic. We see where over-intellectualization has led us. We live in a world that’s so detached from each other, how can we not see that race, gender and sexual preferences are not the real issue? The external war that’s happening is a representation of the collective internal war occurring within each person. Logic vs Feeling, materiality vs spirituality, old vs new, and the list goes on.

Personally I’m working on being better, releasing negative thought patterns that do not serve me, and working on living from a place of non-duality, to be whole. In this world that’s obsessed with either/or, I’m discovering the space of AND. To live in this world purposefully and knowing at the same time to not become attached to it.
