Unity Consciousness

I am frequently surprised by the lack of sentimentality with which small village local people interact with insects. 

Deeply spiritual and energetically open humans exhibit no compunction with swatting, squashing, or even spraying ants that move into their area of operation.

Yoga students, vegetarians, even environmentally considerate tourists generally take a glass or other container, and use it catch an insect and transport it to an outside space. Villagers show no such regard for animals’ wellbeing.

At the same time the villagers show such open kindness, and demonstrate a willingness to help. 

I attribute this apparent contrast in mentality to a deeper understanding of Nature.

To the village-dwelling human, exterminating one ant, or a swarm, is of no more consequence than mopping up a puddle of water that accumulates on the floor after a storm. There will be more water next time the rain falls. 

There will be more ants.

We have already discussed how the Mind likes to present a picture of Reality that the body can easily work with. What we have here is a case of the brain constructing an image of individuality that corresponds with our perspective of ourselves. 

In Reality there are no ants. 

There is ant.

The ant is beneath the ground, the ant is in the trees, the ant is decomposing a buffalo in Namibia. The ant lives as one. If a small group of ant bodies are removed from life, the larger ant unity continues its existence and development, possibly even learning from the way the ant bodies were killed. We can use a towel to dry off, we can even drink a glass of water, but I doesn’t mean that water is any worse of in general. By this same logic, water can also learn from the life of its drops, but the ant is an animal, and water is a molecule, so they will learn their lessons in superficially different ways.

The ant is an intelligent energy that has the ability to form colonies, to farm fungus, and even to take down large prey, but it is just an energy that interacts with neighbouring energies to maintain overall harmony and balance in the cosmos. 

It is our brain, our circuits of neurons and synaptic connections, that break the energy of the ant down into individual animal bodies. Our brain even endows these energetic particles with legs, eyes and a brain of their own, just to make sure that our puny intellect has something to recognise, to latch onto, to try to exterminate.

Human bodies are also an illusion. There is a human. It inhabits planet Earth and constructs buildings, it redirects rivers, gouges canals, it cuts down trees and farms crops. It is the most diversely influential shaper of Nature on our planet. It can select only one colour of flower to propagate the entire planet, and has always risked its existence to ensure that only its own skin colour remain alive. The human can also agree to allow all colour to flourish, and maintain is privilege as keeper of the most bountiful garden in the Universe.

When our Mind is open, and we float to where we need to go, life is easy. Life can be so easy.

The brain loves to separate and segregate. So we see individual humans walking around, and we even perceive to be looking out from this cosmic garden at an empty and desolate Universe through the eyes of an individual, unique, and separate human body.

Once the brain perceives separation, the Mind propels the body into self-preservation and self-preference. As humans we regard ourselves, and people who remind us of ourselves, as more important and deserving of resources than even other humans who appear to our senses to be slightly different.

The rest, as they say, is history, and we can further break down these separations into different species of ants, different races of humans, different types of birds, and we can try to find the smallest common denominator for everything we have seen around us. This sounds scientific, and also sounds exactly like what we have been doing to bring us into this mindset of individualism.

We can also zoom out, and see all the ant energy, all the tree energy, all the water energy, all the human energy, all the space energy, all the star energy, and arrive at a perception of what we all share. 

We are all energy.

Energy always moves into a state of equilibrium. Erwin Schrodinger wrote a nice little book about this. He might have won a Nobel Prize for his work.

As much as I love to work from the perspective of unity and a field of movement, my Craniosacral teacher warned me about solely relying on this as a technique for healing. “I have been to schools where practitioners and students ‘bliss out’ and don’t bother about structure. But all the bodies in those schools were structurally a mess.” He always insisted that I learn the structure of anatomy, and just now it makes more sense than at any time previously. 

Energy always exhibits a tendency toward homogenised order. We are working with injuries, and bodies that need help to regain their optimal alignment. An injured body needs the assistance of a clear perspective on how to restructure its energy.

You will choose Brain Healing because you choose clarity. I am as energetically in tune as any other energy healer you will meet. But I am also fluent in the structural underpinnings of the human nervous system.

The human energy is widespread and influential, but the human neural structure is a work of genius, unrivalled in any nook of the Universe we have been able to observe so far.

I would be a practical shortcoming not to engage with both of these streams of healing potential.
