In science there is a figuring out which takes the whole and teases it into every little part in order to understand it. Like taking apart a machine, each little spring and cog and screw. The funny thing is that the watch doesn’t work anymore when it is separated into all of the individual pieces. The dynamic that it was no longer exists.
Perhaps separating out each element of our lives is the busy activity of the intellectual mind.. the ego.. working away, endlessly dividing everything up into fragments and worrying over them until the flowing dynamic that is life can no longer be felt for how it truly is. The glorious, multidimensional whole that it is.
