We are all interconnected — but what does this mean?!

Question from the Internet:

“What does it mean that we are all interconnected?”

That “we are all interconnected” means that we are all interconnected. But this “meaning” means absolutely nothing as long as we do not actually feel it, tangibly and viscerally, that we are all so interconnected that we can’t exist without each other.

After all, we have been saying and analyzing that “we are all interconnected.” We are actually building market systems, culture, entertainment, and media based on our interconnections. We are making movies and writing books about an interconnected world. Politicians and activists alike argue for an interconnected and interdependent world. We even speak about mutual responsibility and the mutual survival of humanity.

But as long as we do not tangibly and viscerally feel how much we are interconnected and how much we are interdependent to the point of either collectively surviving or collectively committing suicide, the notion of “all being interconnected” means nothing.

We have to reach such intimate mutual sensations that the feelings, suffering, happiness, health, and survival of others — way beyond the family and circle of friends — become just as important or even more important than our own.

We have to come to such closeness that we all start to feel our “original self” as a single cell or component in our collective, mutually integrated common “self” we all identify with.

This goes way beyond safeguarding physical survival — which cannot happen without this mutually integrated sensation. When we mutually integrate in a way that we truly feel our “original self” as a single element in our newly sensed “mutual self,” we also start sensing an unprecedented “collective consciousness” and a “composite perception of reality” through each other.

And as we all participate in and share this collective consciousness and composite perception, our actual life-experience changes to a qualitatively much higher sense of life. It will be like changing the life experience of a single cell in our body to the life experience of the “systemic consciousness” we consider our “I.”

And since this mutual and collective life experience will also elevate us above the usual, subjective, and egocentric limitations of time, space, and physical motion — since we do not associate our “self” with the very limited and temporary physical existence of the biological body — we will also lose our direct sense of physical life or death.

This is not some kind of religion, mysticism, or utopia. This is absolutely realistic, tangible, and available for all through a unique, purposeful, and practical scientific method. This method can help us not only speak about but absolutely and viscerally feel how interconnected we are and what we can practically achieve when we know how to use and develop these interconnections between us until we sense life only within these natural but previously unfelt mutual interconnections, each selflessly and unconditionally caring about the others instead of oneself.
