Intertwingularity at the core of my spirituality

I'm in a spiritual mood, so might as well write about my spiritual perspective.

For as long as I can remember, I always felt like I viewed the world in a way that felt a little different.  For example: when I see a tree "over there", and don't think of me "over here" and the tree "over there"; I see "us" and our interconnection, some intrinsic link between me and that tree.

That feeling, I have with all around me, however near, however far, whether still of this world or crossed over into the next.

Yet I never could quite understand that until I bought a book, seemingly a great one to read with my child, by author Chara M. Curtis :

All I See Is Part of Me

Which made me think of the flip-side:

I am part of all I see

If felt oh-so-good to see words that made absolute sense to me, words that explained a feeling I had for as long as I can remember.

All of that eventually evolved into:

All there is,

all there ever was,

and all there ever will be

is part of me.

And the flip-side:

I am a part of

all there is,

all there ever was,

and all there ever will be.

A number of years later, I would read something along the lines of:

We are spiritual beings here for a human experience.

From my readings of native american spirituality and tribal wisdom, I've come to believe that all living things are spiritual beings here for an experience.  So:

• A tree is a spiritual being here for the "tree experience."
• A wolf is a spiritual being here for the "wolf experience."
• An eagle is a spiritual being here for the "eagle experience."
• Same for a bear, a blade of grass, and so on and so forth ...

And I wondered, where does that experience go?  And out of left-field, it smacked something silly:

A drop of water exists in a cycle:

• Every individual drop of water eventually makes its way to the ocean (the source).
• Once it reaches the ocean, a drop of water cannot be distinguished from the other drops of water.
• All the drops of water are one with the ocean.
• Eventually, water in the ocean evaporates.
• The water turns into rain, water drops that return to land.
• And so the cycle starts again...

In the same way, our spirits follow a similar cycle:

• Every individual spirit, along with its experience, eventually makes its way to God (the source).
• Once it reaches God, a spirit cannot be distinguished from the other spirits.
• All the spirits are one with God.
• Eventually, spirits return as spiritual beings here for another experience.
• And so the cycle starts again...

And I've since had no more questions and no more thoughts.  I suppose we could say that I am spiritually satisfied?

All of that written, not at all to convince anybody else to hop aboard my spiritual train, but rather to make an interesting observation:

I keep thinking that we humans have this nasty habit of ignoring intertwingularity so that we can keep things nice and tidy.

Now I'm thinking, like in my spiritual underpinnings explained here, that intertwingularity can actually make things nice and tidy?

Huh.  I didn't expect that.

Cool.
