Thought #3: Relativity

“Relativity is the description of the fantastic in our perception of reality. Aka the mathematics by which we seize reality are fundamentally flawed by assumption.”

I sometimes wonder whether inter-being means that there is no such thing as an active or a passive state. When all things are connected, is your life being lead or can you have free will? I think this is a question asked from the point of view of the meaningful self. It starts from a perceived illusion. For a meaningful self as described by Descartes’ “I think, therefore I am” free will is the ultimate evidence of self-realisation, of proof that you are here.

How can that be true if there are always things in life which you can’t consciously control? It also implies that the absence of free will is a bad thing, but your eyes see and hear without you consciously wanting it. They help you avoid collision when you’re driving a bike. It’s no ‘free will’ but it’s not a bad thing either, is it?

Descartian logic is also trapped in the following paradox: you can only be a free and independent you from others or regarding others. To me, this is inter-being. Every act towards free will is at least inspired by the world around you.

This post is a follow-up of yesterday’s post.

All of us are meaningful, since all of us are constantly in the middle. We are in a state of permanent connection. We are always in touch.

You are meaningful, because it is through you that the world connects. It is through you that life as such makes its complete and full sense. The same goes for every single part of you. Look for example at how every part of your body holds the rest of the body together. But the same goes also for every part outside your body.

The more you are aware of your being here, the more you can transform yourself and your world around you into a path of insight, into a possibility to transform this world into a meaningful world.

When you allow yourself to tap into that world of inter-connectedness and be in between or inter-be, you can actually access that meaningfulness, or even better, allow that meaningfulness to access you.
