Sometimes I wonder about the scope of our awareness. My ego does not agree, but my intuition tells me that there is more than I can perceive. Nature taught me a valuable lesson about that:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I have been baffled many times by the perseverance of ants, walking back and forth on their established routes, carrying up to twenty (!) times their body weight. I kept thinking about their world view: What do they see? What do they perceive the world to be? And where does the world as they know it end? While I am aware that the average ant might not be thinking those thoughts, I inferred that their world view is probably more limited than ours. Yet, they might confidently state: \u201cThis is how the world is!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We do the same. We postulate that there is an objective reality and that we know what it is (or strive to find it). I postulate that \u2013 even if an objective reality exists \u2013 we might not be able to perceive it. So what are we left to do?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How about living in the moment?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I would love to read your thoughts!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
