To drop into being means to recognize your interconnectedness with all life, and with being itself. Your very nature is being part of larger and larger spheres of wholeness.

I feel connected to that idea of wanting to belong to something, to have a sense of purpose as a man on the planet.
It is on the acceptance or rejection of the theory of the Unity of all in Nature, in its ultimate Essence, that mainly rests the belief or unbelief in the existence around us of other conscious beings besides the Spirits of the Dead.
What we didn't realize then - and one of the many things Timothy Leary was wrong about - is that when you drop out, you inevitably also drop in.
Being is. Being is in-itself. Being is what it is.
Every moment of one's existence one is growing into more or retreating into less. One is always living a little more or dying a little bit.

We are, first of all, not solitary creatures and second of all, we are deeply embedded in the lives of others. It's very easy to forget that and to engage in an atomistic fallacy - where we think that all we have to do is study the individual components of a system in order to understand the system.
What I love is dropping into someone else's life and exploring it.

We are separated from God on two sides; the Fall separates us from Him, the Tree of Life separates Him from us.
