MUGI – My Unique Gift Idea

This post is inspired by an article I recently read. The theme of it reminded me a lot about the Kabbalistic ideas which I write about sometimes for the blog and which I keep in my mind so that I feel either elevated or with two feet healthily grounded – which ever is preferable.

So think it not strange that one moment I am talking about clothes, movie stars and Kabbalah Jewelry and the next about similarities between an organism’s cells and altruism.

Well, according to this article, organism’s cells unite by reciprocal giving for the sake of sustaining the body in its entirety. Each cell in the body receives what it needs for its sustenance, and then it expends the rest of its energy looking after the remainder of the body. Now, at every level of Nature, the individual always works to benefit the whole of which it is a part. Therein it finds its wholeness.

A body cannot persist without altruistic activities. In fact, they say that life itself cannot persist. Well, this sounds like the idea of the Body Politic, doesn’t it? This is because all of humanity, as well, is actually one whole body.

The truth of the matter is that we have always been individual parts of a single system.

The problem is this:

We human beings are still unaware of it. The phenomenon is revealed by nature in the way in which two forces act in sync: there is a connecting force which connects us all as one, and there is also a rejecting force which pushes us away from one another.

Henceforth, at the time when these two forces begin to manifest their orientations more intensely, we find ourselves starting to discover how dependent we are, and at the same time, we revolt against this dependency because of our growing egos.

Well, this reminds me of the workings of the Ten Sefirot in Kabbalah. Everything gives and takes and is an essential part of the system.
