Life flows from somewhere --don’t know where-- deep inside us, through us--our thinking/feeling/actions--into the world/universe, and, if we go beyond the end of the universe, we find the same thing that started deep within us.

So life is a flow from inward through us into the World around us beyond the World around us and back to itself, a very very nourishing flow.

Just the same way as we have blood flowing through the body, and leaves the heart, picks up oxygen at the lungs and picks up nutrients from the digestive system, goes through the different extremes of appendages and returns back to the lungs and the heart and then continues on again.

It is just this cycle, this very nourishing flow.

Now what happens if there is a break in the flow, let’s say in the thigh. Now suddenly the foot does not get the nourishment from food, it does not get the oxygen. Without those it cannot live, and disease or discomfort grows in the foot.

By the way, the same kind of flow can happen in the sap, in the flower, for instance, the sap goes up the stem, through the leaves and the petals and the stamen and nourishes the flower. Then if there is some break in the flow, say the plant is not watered. then the sap dries out. Then the plant dies.

So when flow stops, disease/ problems/ stress/ tension arise. But if we are saying that spirituality is Wholeness, is a flow of in unity through our lives out into the world, out beyond the edge of the universe, back to its flown in unity at the edge of creation, then how can it be that we suffer?

Because this is a flow! How can a a person swimming in water be thirsty? He is surrounded by water. How can we, if we are in this sea of Wholeness, this flow of Wholeness, how can we have any problems?
