a wholeness-making factor of experiential association

In the midst of us, in that center we experience within us as the greater sense of psychic wholeness that also surrounds us, is the self-organizing source that coordinates all the individual parts of the psychic structure that this formulates as a union within us. It is the same source we also discover everywhere around us in our background experience of the nature we are involved in. In the interaction of everything with each other. In each tree’s own ecological system. In all the varied roles that life has created in its different environments. In every landscape that finds its way to unite with us from within as we participate with this underlying psychic togetherness in all its parts. We experience this guiding background principle not only within us but also all around us. Its various parts invite us and inspire us as the energy we use in our lives. This togetherness is as terrifying as it is the one that embraces us and makes us whole. How we choose to face it is what will also define whether we participate in ourselves with a peace of mind, and whether we can share the qualities of that nature in its individuality with others. It is like returning as a mature being to who we were when we first entered and experienced ourselves in this whole, in its innocent, unreserved, curious and uncorrupted relation to all its internal parts. Before we were led astray.
