A despairing person is bereft of hope. There is a fearful and accentuated sense of two. Despair, containing the root word pair, is related to the word separation, containing the root ‘para,’ or “side by side,” as in paranoid. ‘Para’ is combined with the root nous, meaning mind. Side by side mind? In a manner of speaking, but not fundamentally.
The struggle of “should I,” or being of “two minds,” is dimming our sense of aliveness, which is enhanced by realizing the integrity of hope. Fighting temptation, playing guilty, and the struggle of “two” is the root of unease. The brain has two hemispheres. The mind condemns itself – conscious and subconscious seem aloof. The right hand hasn’t a clue what the left is doing.
The body “thinks” it needs to be at a certain weight or that you’re starving it. Quantum physicists say particles “want” to be or to “behave” in a certain way. Nature “abhors” a vacuum. Let me hear your body talk and let your fingers do the walking.
Is there a centrist “controller.” Mind is everywhere, seemingly broken into fragmental networks all run amok. Trillions upon trillions of exponentially individual mindlings are roaming the universe “infected” with a freewill. Are these seemingly separate intelligences connected in a realm so deep, the “wires” disappear?
It’s an overwhelming prospect, intelligence run amok into an i-Cloud of mental storage and ability. That is until you realize the fundamental. Fundare means “to found,” and mental means mind. Being of sound (foundational) mind and body is something to consider in silence, the only unitive truth.
You are singularity. If there is a foundational truth, there is no should, there is reality, as is. More hope, less despair. More hope, more connectivity. More hope, more oneness, more peace. Division ceases in The One who knows contrast is unitive.
