"A human being is a part of the whole, called by us, "Universe," a part limited in time and space. He experiences himself, his thoughts and feelings as something separated from the rest -- a kind of optical delusion of his consciousness.
This delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to our personal desires and to affection for a few persons nearest to us. Our task must be to free ourselves from this prison by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty.
Nobody is able to achieve this completely, but the striving for such achievement is in itself a part of the liberation and a foundation for inner security." - Albert Einstein

It is this task, this striving,this deepening-and-widening that is at the heart of today's challenges and solutions. www.thenatureofbusiness.org

‘We have created a sufficiently strong propensity not only to make divisions in knowledge where there are none in Nature, and then to impose the divisions on Nature, making the reality thus comfortable to the idea, but to go further, and to convert the generalizations made from observation into positive entities, permitting for the future these artificial creations to tyrannize over the understanding.’ Henry Maudsley

After working in public accounting for two years, I started to realize that the “purpose” was not aligning with me. At m...

  • Because of your passion for the subject, may I share from a Whole Hu...man blog post, 'Dispel the Illusion with a Greeting!" http://www.wholehuman.emanatepresence.com/realizations-blog/dispel-the-illusion-with-a-greeting Dispelling the illusion is about effectively dis-empowering the spell of the 'illusion of separation' by thinking, feeling and acting upon four words which can also be used as a greeting. While 'the illusion of separation' is a commonly heard term, do we know what it is 'really' hiding? In this case, 'the illusion of separation' has been hiding the actuality that 'we are one being.' The great illusion is not referring just to our living separated (in our minds) from our source and each other. The illusion has distanced our human awareness from knowing the one true self and identity of every human and that 'we' have never been separated. Revealing the actuality veiled by the illusion of separation, that O.B. (One Being) is the True Self of all that is, answers a big question for every person, 'who am I really?' It also can answer, 'why am I here?' for every person who accepts that everything exists to be the vehicle of O.B.'s expression. For me, that translates to knowing my deepest purpose is to unfold the unique center of awareness designed by my original blueprint, to be O.B. in the Gary expression. The fullness of unfolding is to consciously be the defined human and the undefined totality in the same moment. 'We are one being' means much more than being inter-connected. It means more than 'we are one people' or 'we are one family,' or 'the brotherhood of Man.' The illusion of separation which has kept us from knowing we are one being has prevented us from knowing who we really are and what we are capable of manifesting as human beings. May you prosper.
