"Remembering"

by Ralph Miller

This
painting by Alex Grey entitled, Oversoul is an extraordinarily
beautiful representation of how all things are connected;
of how all things are the same. Alex's visionary art
is the result of his own visionary experiences. I attempt
to explain with words, along with others, the infinite
beauty of these realms. I appreciate Alex Grey because
I find that his paintings evoke feeling, perception
and understanding where mere words would fail utterly.
I would like to thank Alex for his permission to use

Ancient
religious traditions and esoteric thought speak of how everything
is connected to everything else. This is the concept of oneness,
where duality and separateness break down and become irrelevant,
and only a perfect unity remains. Our real nature is that
we are not separate; we are all one. Our human experience
feels lonely and isolated only because we have forgotten our
true nature.
The renowned
Swiss scientist, Jean Paiget wrote about human intelligence
in his book Origins of Intelligence in the Child. His observations
were that for an infant … all is one. Infants are unable
to determine where they end, and the world or universe begins.
They cannot distinguish their 'inner world' from their 'outer
world'. They perceive their reality as One.
When we
are born, we begin with this true understanding. We begin
with a visionary mind. As we grow up, we begin to forget.
There
is a grand paradox that has continued for eons now. We have
evolved in our mastery of technology, but we have forgotten
our true nature. As human intelligence has increased so has
our 'forgetfulness'. We have forgotten and become disconnected
from ourselves. A part of our minds has de-evolved. We no
longer can perceive the beauty of the infinite realms that
are woven into our 3D consensual reality we call time-space.
The human
journey is about remembering. The sacred shamanic traditions
of the Amazon re-activate the visionary brain. A part of our
brain turns on again. When you perceive the indescribable
beauty of this connectedness, you will feel as if you are
remembering something that you had forgotten about a long
time ago. You feel as if you have woken up from a dream. In
this field of total connectedness, it is impossible to comprehend
how you felt lonely and isolated. Welcome to the real world!
