Soul seeks connection

My own faith is that we are, at the deepest and most profound level, already "one". I have found in my own reading within our worlds various Faith Traditions this same thought, expressed in multiple ways. The insights of many seers and sages and unknown authors.

It all goes to the very heart of paradox, which must be at the heart simply because logic and reason will only ever double back upon themselves in eternal conflict and confusion.

One expression of the paradox is found in the words of Thomas Merton, who has long been a mentor to me in my own rather stumbling path.

Here:-

[i]True communication on the deepest level is more than a simple sharing of ideas, conceptual knowledge, or formulated truth. The kind of communication that is necessary at this level must also be “communion”: beyond the level of words, a communion in authentic experience which is shared not only on a “preverbal” level but also on a “postverbal” level......... and the deepest level of communication is not communication, but communion. It is wordless. It is beyond words, and it is beyond speech, and it is beyond concept. Not that we discover a new unity. We discover an older unity. My dear brothers and sisters, we are already one. But we imagine that we are not. And what we have to recover is our original unity. What we have to be is what we are.[/i]

What we have to be is what we are.

I agree, with heart, but the nuances are everything, how do you connect, and I've become lost before, not seeing what gives me passion, while searching for someone who gives me new meaning upon life. We all have these desires, and what creates you feeling isolated and disconnected is something you will feel in life, might even miss who may give these connections. Not where I want finding my passions again, but have learned from someone, as I have passion learning them, and from there a life lessened learned (for me) which makes me look on life again.

I totally get from where you are coming.

It is a very large struggle.

Please ignore the trolls for their unsympathetic behavior. They really don't want to understand anything but their own beliefs.

This is the kind of connection that I felt with someone very, very recently.

Then go on a dating site.

Not all of us.
