The Existence is More than what It appears to be

"And it was probably perfectly predictable that the first life form that became self-aware (us) would mistakenly think that the consciousness that it became aware of belonged to itself alone and not to the universe as a whole. So now we are in the perfect position to move beyond that mistaken identity, to see ourselves as both separate and whole and to create a future that reflects both."

from the EnlightenNext Community in Lenox, Ma

the opening sentence is quite delicious....
explaining the origins of our self-importance and our narcissistic tendencies
because we forget, as the Sufi's say, we can forget,
to remember what is of the Real Importance,
so when we do remember, we see immediately, that our life is not about ourselves alone..rather,
our existence always has to do with being in the Real all the way, entirely hooked up to the Stream and offering contributions for all who are living here.....
