Question(s)

We as a human race populate a planet within this universe and yet seem to live in our own worlds. This universe is part of our consciousness but is our consciousness part of the universe? Is there even a universal consciousness?

Different beliefs tell us this world we are conscious of is not real, it is a dream or even just a projection of our mind or an illusion. I used to believe that it was an illusion but now I don’t know. I tend to think that this is 'IT', now is 'IT' and we are part of the universe which is infinite. But it does not really matter, at least I don't think I really matters. What is important is that I believe in what I do and am conscious of what I do each moment.

Returning to the first sentence, in relation to the observation that we ‘seem to live in our own worlds’, this can be looked at from different perspectives. We are selfish and all we do is about ‘me’ or we are conscious of others and all we do takes them into consideration. And even taking others into consideration, are we considering what they want or need or are we just considering what we think they want or need?

And of course the questions, and the path can become many, can become varied. Truly, to live simply and in harmony, to fulfil our time in this space we are conscious of, do we even need to ask these questions?

Truly, why does my mind do so?
