Being is wholeness. It is the true sense of absolute totality we experience when we are young. Also, it is the most sacred feeling we can bring with us as we grow up, and the very foundation of our perceived existence. Without it, there is no personal psychic life. All about it will be collective. This wholeness is what fills the whole spectrum of life with its meaning. Wherever, and however we try to define its appearance. Immanuel Kant formulated it something like this; the human psyche pours into sensory data all the forms of perception and the categories of understanding which then create the total view of our world. This is also what we do when we dis-identify ourselves from the subjective experiences of our time to get an objective attitude on ordinary experience. I believe that the very essence of the cultural and spiritual wave of the 1960s, its search for a different kind of spirituality with the personally experienced wholeness as its ubiquitous center, which everyone shared, was something like the hierarchical and authoritarian view that existed until then could no longer offer. By the 1960s, the western world have had enough of it, which was expressed by the movements that then occurred. Everything seemed to be about this experience of wholeness, about our being, and how this new experience of the world and ourselves in it could be possible in contrast to what it looked like at the time. This corresponds to what we are all going through at one time or another within ourselves as individuals, but in a transferred sense. All personal experiences tend to get lost when projected into movements or ”ideas” because there is no dis-identification of the inner phenomena from the objects that carries them. So they tend to get dissolved and in the end, the original experience is distorted. Only the object as a used medium will still be around when the inner experience is gone and the objective rational mind takes over. Which was what the seventies was all about. But our wholeness is still there. It needs to be taken care of personally as the collective path has been tried and tested, and shown not to work without the inner guide of phenomena that gives them its meaning. Also, not everyone who follows a collectives mindset, does have personal access to this experience of being and its original sense of wholeness. They are in it for other reasons. This is more than evident in many of us, and the leaders we rely on today.
