Imagine
In the early hours this morning I had a mental image of myself as a vast network of tiny threads interconnected in a sort of mesh pattern. Beside me there were others constructed the same way and connected to me through the surface of the earth also a mesh. As I contemplated this I could see other animals and plants in the same form and connected to the earth in the same manner. Panning out it was apparent that everything was part of one gigantic organism alive with energy and sharing the same blood. I realized that this is what my world view is becoming.
It isn’t that things have ever been otherwise, I think it actually has been all along but I didn’t realize it. I began to think that if this is to be my world view then that may be why Jesus would say “what so ever you have done unto the least of these…you have done it unto me.” Likewise what we do to one another we do to ourselves because we are, at least in that view, all the same organism.
That causes me to think about what corporations, institutions, governments’ religions and individuals would be like if developed from that perspective. I have been hovering just outside this concept for days now and I have been trying to articulate it but it just wouldn’t come.
