There was a time not that long ago when people accepted as truth the belief that the Earth was flat. And why not? There was no reference to support thinking or believing otherwise … until there was. Today, though some still believe it to be at, this idea seems absurd to most. Yet when a flat world is all you know, you don’t know to know something else. Had the Earth changed its shape when the new facts were introduced? Of course not. Did the old belief about the shape of our planet shift when the new thought, informed from a broader perspective, was introduced? Yes. It took a while, and a number of people were imprisoned and/or executed for challenging the old belief in the process, but over time, people would begin to teach the new thought, accept the new belief, and settle into the new truth.
Similar to a belief in a flat world, what if a belief in separateness, had become our truth because it was what we were taught, what we learned, and the only thing we knew? And, what if our connectedness, like the round Earth, had an unalterable truth? What if it were possible only for us to believe we are separate but impossible for us to be anything but connected?
