Meditation can lead to a sense of interconnectedness with all beings from "summary" of Waking Up by Sam Harris
Meditation can lead to a sense of interconnectedness with all beings. This experience can be profound and transformative. When we meditate, we are cultivating a deep awareness of our own minds and bodies. We become intimately familiar with our thoughts, emotions, and physical sensations. This self-awareness can lead to a sense of empathy and compassion toward ourselves and others. As we continue to meditate, we may start to notice that the boundaries between ourselves and others begin to blur. We start to see that we are not separate, isolated beings, but rather interconnected with all living things. This realization can be both humbling and awe-inspiring. We start to see that our thoughts, emotions, and actions have ripple effects that extend far beyond ourselves. This sense of interconnectedness can lead to a profound shift in how we relate to the world around us. We start to see that the well-being of others is intimately connected to our own well-being. This realization can inspire us to act with kindness, compassion, and generosity toward all beings. We start to see that we are all in this together, navigating the ups and downs of life as a global community. Meditation can help us cultivate a sense of interconnectedness with all beings. This experience can be a powerful antidote to the feelings of isolation and separateness that often plague us. When we realize that we are all interconnected, we can start to live with more empathy, compassion, and love. This shift in perspective can transform not only our own lives but also the world around us.
