Break Out

The desire to . . . clamber out of the solitary cell of the self lies at the very heart of the age-old quest of the human soul: the quest for wholeness. That is, to feel the world as a whole, and the self as a whole within it, and, in feeling that wholeness, to live it.

In that regard, it seems to me that the primary freedom denied us by our [Western] culture's invisible walls is the freedom to feel the unbroken wholeness of the world to which we belong - which happens to be the world's primary reality.

New Self, New World
