Dear blog readers! Today I will do something different. As now I am going through the process of writing in english for publications, I decided to do the same with my own personal stuff to exercise such a task. This will also bring more readers into the blog. Remember again, this text is written following the rule: 30 minutes of brainstorming text after picking randomly a key word, no major edition or correction, meaning, raw text essentially. Don't expect, as happens with my texts in portuguese, perfection in terms of style or grammar. The aim is not that. The aim is to extract spontaneity from my reflexions in one short but deep piece of writing. Let's got then! 30 minutes start now: the word is CONNECTION.
Connection is in my view what we desperately look for in life. We as humans are beings which cannot live a healthy live without the interaction with others, by any means. This raises the point to the basic question: what is connection and how we do it? To me, connection is about sharing thoughts, ideas, emotions, points of view with someone you interact with, no matter if it is a friend, a partner, the love of you life or simply a strange you found sitting in a park bench. Usually we tend to think that our best way to interact and to connect is to talk. Through language, the men have across the ages of history interacted with each other, building what we call today the modern world. We could not reach such an advanced technology, evolution in terms of moral, or laws, without any discussion and connection among people by the use words. This is, however, the simplest and the most basic mechanism of connection. The second way is to connect by physical interaction. This means, to hug , to touch, to give hands, to kiss, to do eye contact and so on. By sharing our bodies touch and warmth we do connect to each other, even in a deeper level than with only words. This is the second level of connection and people are aware of its power, and maybe they look for that much more than the contact through words, because it is somehow more intense. It is more risky though. You might be more exposed by doing such a connection and the outcomes from this exposure into a deeper level of connection may bring some hard times. But it is part of the game, and by no means, this stops us from going after the search for more and more of it. It is somehow biologically written in our DNA code to look for this contact, once the sexual behaviour is also included in this kind of connection and this can perpetuate the species further on. The third level is the level of emotions. When you put emotions into the connection matrix, the possibilities are beyond our imagination. We cannot contemplate all the combinations of emotions that might rise from a shared feeling with another human being. Additionally, the beauty of it is that this is not only the deepness that is interesting and makes us go for it, but the feature of being always changing across time. There is no such "frozen" feeling which does not evolve (yeah as a POKEMON!) during the development. This is more in tune with our inner essence, therefore the danger of it is also proportionally higher. The main tool for us to deal the best possible way with that is to do self development and to answer this simple but deep question: Who am I? This is the quest must of us are doing during our short passage in this dimension of living (which for me is only transitory and does not correspond AT ALL to the main mission of us), but in the end is the one we can live for now. The fourth and last level for me is the unconscious level. This is where most of us make many mistakes. We tend to think that our bodies have this limited ways of perceiving the world around (sight, hearing, taste, smell and tactile). But, as physics have lately shown, there is much more "in here", within us in terms of ability to connect to other living organisms. From very modern concepts, it is clear that we are not solid as we may think, but we are composed particles that are always im movement. Essentially we are an energy plant, producing, processing and mainly, spreading our energy fields around. This has an implication that many ignore. We are at every moment interacting and connecting to the field of other people and living things (and maybe things we consider dead, but are alive!). The amount of connection depend yes on your freewill. That is where many end up failing, because they connect without realizing the "bad energy fields" from others. The new paradigm for happiness is to learn how to deal with the fact that we are energy beings, and then to wisely choose to which fields to connect, and mainly from whom. This is critical to the level of satisfaction in life. And also, the energy field from someone may change across time, going from a good to a bad one. That's when you decide to leave someone, or to end a friendship or to move from your job. You must listen to those inner intuitions. Intuition is the main tool in order to access this level of connection. Maybe there is also higher level, which at this time, I cannot realize or comphreend. Probably there are infinite ones. The uncertainty of life makes us insecure, but the lack os this deep knowledge makes us stuck in place. I hope that the mankind starts to pay attention to their own energy fields, and that they realize that with a shift in to a more evolutionary mindset, they will be heading to a new world paradigm, which in my opinion, has the potential to bring much more "good vibes" into our lives. So, try yourself from now on and live to the your fullest potential! I wish a very nice day to all!
