We Are All One...
"We all live within the same illusion and are, in our own way and in our own time, trying to understand the truth behind it all. Some may not be looking at the moment or even in this particular life, but ultimately we will all wake up from the dream and remember who we really are. Ultimately, we will all become one..." - Aaron Hutchins
Culture Only Serves Culture
When asked recently to define what I meant by "culture" in this quote, this is what I said:
ReplyDelete"In my mind, culture is anything that comes out of community with others and that, as a result of that interaction, is something that often shapes the evolutionary direction of a body of people intellectually, but it's my feeling that too often people identify with the voice of culture, when culture is really no more than a culmination of the life experiences of others and not the self. I think the world desperately needs more people who are able to reach deeply within themselves and pull out the unparalleled and unprecedented beauty of the inner soul and create and devise new ways of living and being, rather than just regurgitating what they've been told."
