Ocean and Net

A reflection with Sez Kristiansen

Ocean and Net

0:00 --:--

Imagine the vast blue ocean. Endless, boundless, and whole.

No divisions. No loneliness. No lines of separation.

Now imagine a net thrown into this ocean.

The net cuts across the water, dividing it into a grid of sections.

This net is thought.

Useful, yes.

We need it for clocks, calendars, and navigation through daily life.

But the problem comes when we mistake the net for reality itself.

We begin to live through it. See through it. Identify with its lines. Forgetting that beneath it all, there is still one oceanwhole and indivisible.

What if you could see the net for what it is?

Just a useful tool.

While the ocean — vast and unbroken — is what you truly are.
