Shared Humanity is Where It’s At

Out beyond the ideas of wrongdoing and rightdoing, there is a field.

I will meet you there.

When the soul lies down in that grass,

the world is too full to talk about.

Ideas, language, even the phrase “each other” doesn’t make any sense

Rumi


I’ve recently been looking in the direction of differences and sameness, group vs individual, the body vs a relational person interacting and I keep coming back to the realization that it’s all one, we are all one or it’s all one solution.

Humans are all very different one of the other. And yet we are all humans. We have a shared humanity. Deep down all people have the same needs and wants. I might want chocolate and you might want vanilla but everybody wants ice cream. We want to feel safe and loved and warm at night.

What is the same between you and me and the guy down the street is that we all have our own inner wisdom. A knowing that feels expansive and is separate from any supposed rational explanation. Our bodies are the interface between this wisdom and the “real” world around us. Our spine and nervous system is the literal software/hardware that runs this interface between you and the world you perceive as real.

In waking up to this deeper aspect or dimension of ourselves we realize that life happens from inside of us outwards. Many teachers in the wellness field encourage us to “look within”. Most of us look within and see lots of habits of thought, judgmental thinking, and old programs. If you stay looking in that direction, you’ll find that who we are is beneath all this thinking. We are not our thinking. It’s not even real. It’s an illusion.

In the depths of who we are there is expanding joy, peace, compassion, infinite creativity and unconditional love. At this level or in this space within ourselves we realize that there is a oneness to all humans, a shared humanity.

This space is untouched by circumstance, past trauma, or current world stressful event. It’s always there, always who you are and always whole.

Spinal entrainments can guide you to the doorway or the gateway to this space and then it's up to you to step in and it's really up to you to learn to live from this space.
