Everything Is Connected
From: The Web of Meaning
$3.00
This chapter contrasts the European tradition of a self-contained individual and consciousness with the Buddhist (and other) traditions of the boundaries separating the self from others as all mere constructions of a conditioned mind. Mystical states, psychedelics, traditions of Oneness, neuroscience, synchrony in vibrations and biological and emotional processes, and love, all in terms of connectivity, are discussed.
