The mystery of our interrelatedness — Stephan Bodian

I found myself reflecting this morning on the mysterious and paradoxical way that the mystery of our interrelatedness u2014 the timeless, radiant essence of what is u2014 expresses itself in just the right forms to invite us, as human beings, to recognise and fall in love with it u2014 that is, to fall in love with ourselves. Somehow, through some divine good fortune, we find ourselves surrounded by objects and experiences that appeal precisely to our primal need for certain colours, sounds, shapes, and smells.<br>

  3. THE MYSTERY OF OUR INTERRELATEDNESS I found myself reflecting this morning on the mysterious and paradoxical way that the mystery of our interrelatedness — the timeless, radiant essence of what is — expresses itself in just the right forms to invite us, as human beings, to recognise and fall in love with it — that is, to fall in love with ourselves. Somehow, through some divine good fortune, we find ourselves surrounded by objects and experiences that appeal precisely to our primal need for certain colours, sounds, shapes, and smells. www.stephanbodian.org

  4. SENSORY HARMONY IN STEPHAN BODIAN'S TEACHING Stephan Bodian, a renowned spiritual teacher, often emphasises how the variegated reds and pinks of roses and bougainvillaea, the echoing coo of the doves, and the constantly changing blues of the sky and the sea fulfil in us a deep, inchoate longing. It’s as if our senses were made to see precisely these stones and these trees, the ones that are in front of us right now, to hear precisely this music and these words, to feel precisely this surface and this breeze. www.stephanbodian.org

  5. THE ILLUSION OF CONNECTION: RELATIONSHIPS IN SPIRITUAL INSIGHT At the same time, our lives are somehow miraculously filled with people who take the place of our friends, our lovers, our sisters and brothers, our parents, and our children. Even though we deeply understand that there isn’t really anyone here, no enduring self to which this name applies, we still react to some people in the most tender, humane ways that we don’t react to others, and some words and voices have a resonance that moves us while others don’t. www.stephanbodian.org

  6. UNVEILING THE ESSENCE OF SPIRITUAL AWAKENING This deep, mysterious interrelatedness — at once completely impersonal and beyond our comprehension and at the same time intimately personal and filled with love and meaning — shapes the arc and direction of this particular human life: your life, my life, our life. This is the mystery of spiritual awakening made flesh, the way it perfectly expresses itself in every moment and form. www.stephanbodian.org
