Connection
On this episode, Patrick is joined once more by Harold Lewey to talk about how everything is interconnected & how some humans can often close themselves off from the web of life while others seem to be able to connect to everything.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
- One of the greatest blessings I ever received is that I see beauty everywhere, I literally identify that everything no matter how beautiful, harmonic, or dissonant & annoying, there is beauty absolutely everywhere. Live is a big, strong river coursing ahead & all things are connected to that river.
- After what my father lived through in a concentration camp he became an addict of life & truly helped everybody along the way. He never spoke about it, but he did. So, I had examples & teachers, people aren’t necessarily meant to know, we learn as we go by example, mimicry, by need – which is the greatest inventor.
- There are different types of connection. One of them is inside: Knowing who I am. Once I know that & I have self-identity, then the ‘I’ exists & I look, I see, I go, I touch & can then reach out to the outside. There’s confusion, a lot of people mix it together & look for self-identity based on how other see them because they haven’t taken the time to create the ground base of connection with themselves. These are not interchangeable, you won’t survive with only one, there needs to be balance.
- All human beings need belonging. The question is; what do we belong to & what do we give up of our individual identify to belong. What most people do is create their own little pack, but even within the pack, we’re all different, so we’re doomed to be alone. The first difference we have to accept is our own difference within ourselves, we have our own parts that are different, we believe certain things & there are parts that don’t agree with that part. We tend to meet people that touch that particular point.
BEST MOMENTS
‘Creation is a series of beautiful & sometimes absolutely terrifying manifestations of an endless flow of energy going on. Truly, we are in the river of life.’
‘I don’t believe there’s anything that’s correct or incorrect, as long as we’re not hurting others or ourselves what’s the danger to connecting to & seeing the beauty in everything.’
‘The work begins inside.’
‘The greatest importance for baby is to be held.’
