All good things must come to an end - some sooner than later. And I am telling you this because As Within has come to a close, at least for now. It's been a lot of fun, and I have very much enjoyed sharing these pictures and the inspiring quotes to go with them. If you are curious to know why this blog is on hiatus, you can visit this post at shirleytwofeathers. Each person who visited here is deeply appreciated. Thank you so much for giving me an audience and (on my worst days) a reason to get out of bed in the morning.
Atum is the Whole
which contains everything.
He is the One, not two.
He is All, not many.
The All is not many separate things,
but the Oneness
that subsumes the parts.
The All and the One are identical.
You think that things are many
when you view them as separate,
but when you see they all hang on the One,
and flow from the One,
you will realise they are united -
linked together,
and connected by a chain of being
from the highest to the lowest,
and subject to the will of Atum.

As we raise our awareness and realize we are all interconnected, then this human existence takes on a whole new meaning and higher level significance.
So you're saying no one's managed to split the Atum?
Seriously, the interconnectedness insight has been a major one for me too. For me it started when I read Thich Nhat Hanh's The Miracle of Mindfulness many years ago
I have also been very positively influenced by the writings of Thich Nhat Hanh. Mother nature also invites us to learn from her own outdoor teachings though the behavior or creatures and plants everywhere.
