CONNECTIONS (1)

+ One of my favorite spiritual practices offered at the fantastic Spirituality & Practice website is the practice of connections. Here's an excerpt on the basic practice: "Separateness is an illusion. That's what we learn through the spiritual practice of connections. Everything is interrelated — in time, space, and our very being. Both religion and science reveal this truth — Hinduism's image of Indra's net, Buddhism's understanding of interbeing, the experiences of the mystics, the teachings of ecology and physics, even the Internet."

Here's one of the quotes offered on the quotes page: "Everything is integral and interacts with everything else. This means that nothing is itself without everything else. There is a commonality, an integrity, an intimacy of the universe with itself." — Thomas Berry quoted in Listening to the Land by Derrick Jensen

You can take a test to determine which spiritual practices fit you the best.
