Isn’t it obvious that we “inter-are”?

    

.

One of the surprising things in the event of quantum collapse is that when you look, not only does an object appear in consciousness but also a subject appears looking at the object. Quantum collapse produces the awareness of a subject-object split –the experience of a subject looking at an object.

... In the event of a quantum measurement, the collapsing subject and collapsed objects, including the brain, arise simultaneously, codependently. The experiencing subject and the experienced objects co-create one another.

You are me, and I am you.

Isn’t it obvious that we “inter-are”?

You cultivate the flower in yourself,

so that I will be beautiful.

I transform the garbage in myself,

so that you will not have to suffer. 


I support you;

you support me.

I am in this world to offer you peace;

you are in this world to bring me joy.


—Thich Nhat Hanh

.

In fact, my soul and yours are the same. 

You appear in me, I appear in you. 

We hide in each other.


—Rumi

observe

Observe your own body. It breathes. 

You breathe when you are asleep, when you are no longer conscious of your own ideas of self-identity. Who, then, is breathing? 

The collection of information that you mistakenly think is you is not the protagonist in this drama called the breath. In fact, you are not breathing; breath is naturally happening to you. 

You can purposely end your own life, but you cannot purposely keep your own life going. The expression, 'my life' is actually an oxymoron, a result of ignorance and mistaken assumption. 

You don't possess life; life expresses itself through you. Your body is a flower that life let bloom, a phenomenon created by life.

—Ilchi Lee

You observe the heart feeling, the mind thinking, the body acting;

the very act of perceiving shows that you are not what you perceive.

—Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj

The whole of life lies in the verb seeing. —Teilhard de Chardin

  

.

Constantly regard the universe as one living being, having one substance and one soul; and observe how all things have reference to one perception, the perception of this one living being; and how all things act with one movement; and how all things are the cooperating causes of all things which exist; observe too the continuous spinning of the thread and the contexture of the web.

[...] The Nothing is never at rest, neither manifestation repeats any other and everything that IS throbs and vibrates to create the mental world of "existence". 

Whatever we do "here and now" influences the surrounding environment of the planet of the Solar system, of the Galaxy, of the Universe, of the full combination of the universes.

When a blade of grass is cut the whole universe quivers ...

—The Upanishads

In the end words go; finally the perceptibles and observables go into the non-perceptible and non-observable state. Find that out. 

You will understand this slowly and get peace and rest. 

You do not do anything. It happens.
