We Are Not Separate; We Are Expressions of the Whole

Human beings emerge not as isolated entities but as integral expressions of the universe, akin to how flowers bloom from plants and fruits from trees. This perspective emphasizes that individuals embody the energy and nature of the cosmic system as a whole. Consequently, if humans display intelligence, it logically follows that this intelligence is a reflection of the intelligent energy from which they originate. Moreover, it is essential to recognize that our existence is intricately connected to our environment—earth, air, water, and solar energy are as crucial to our being as our internal organs. Therefore, understanding behavior requires a holistic view that considers both organisms and their environments, creating a new conceptual framework known as the organism-environment field of behavior. This approach challenges the conventional notion of separation and highlights our interconnectedness with the cosmos.
