Since we are all deeply and inseparably interconnected, inner experience being connected to others and benefitting others is the way we are and the way life is, and if not inner experience and the person degenerate. Disconnected, inner experience quickly shrivels and dies just like a flower disconnected from the rest of the plant. Having retired, my physical connection with others has lessened while my inner connection and spirituality have increased, and I feel a need in myself now for more coming together of contemplation and connection with others and for more coming together of contemplation and putting it into action. What helps me feed my hunger for wholeness is awareness of the one wholeness of all that is, reflection on wholeness, study about wholeness, and meditation.
