The Book: Noticing Being One - selected articles

Your body consists of tens of trillions of cells, which almost all die within days to months. Although you are a conglomerate you experience continuity, you have your own personal life and awareness. So do other levels of conglomeration also have an ‘individual’ life and awareness of some sort?

Like a river, all manifestation flows from the source, which is the Divine. And the ‘water’ or flow of Beingness connects us with the source – however long the river may be, the water is a continuous medium. Personal experiments and experiences with Non-local Perception show that this connectedness right back to the source can be directly experienced.
