OUR obsession with identification

My body.

My family.

Our home.

Our city. Our country. Our planet. Our solar system. Our galaxy.

Me, My, Mine, Our!

All the time.

I was watching Interstellar (for the fourth time).

Mathew said "Time to leave our solar system". Another one chipped in "Our galaxy".

That's when it hit me: 

When will we start calling OUR SPACE?

Think like a child 

Just think from a child's perspective. Wouldn't he ask "How is it yours?"

What I call MY body, MY brain is just one region in the right hemisphere of brain responsible for conscious attention. 

Aren't MY hands equally MINE as that one region ventricular septum dorsal whatever?

And just because attention is projected outwards from or through the eyes doesn't mean someONE (I) is sitting behind, grabbing the steering wheel of your BODY and LIFE.

We identify our self with that one region in the brain. 

Rather....we should identify ourselves with the real self.

REAL SELF

Don't you think real self, real me, real you should be more than just one region of the brain?

Don't you think there is something more, something bigger, something vast-er than just our brains?

There must be some space that contains even OUR SPACE, which further contains galaxies, solar systems, and so on.

Like something which is the (last) container for everything else. And because it is the container for everything else it has to be formless, shapeless.

It exists that's why we exist. 

You can imagine it to be a transparent glass container but without a form or shape or size. And it is the vast-est, the biggest glass container that exists.

Everything else, EVERYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYTHING ELSE is contained in that glass container.

Matter, anti-matter, dark matter, space, inter-galactic space, everything!

That's what the eastern religions call God, right? Or at least, give its properties as such.

Don't overcomplicate

Forget all your pre-existing beliefs and ideas about God. Just for one second, inquire like a child about:

something which contains everything else. (But it itself can not be contained) 

And because it contains everything means everything operates because of it.

It's simple, isn't it? 

So, one thing is for sure.

It exists that's why we exist. 

So, if there is anything we ought to identify ourselves with is it.

That's it!
