Diving deeper into the Something Bigger .... and making sense of it .....
A year or two ago, I kept thinking of the OneWeMe.
The levels .... but the ultimate connectedness in the ONE .... we are one, it's all connected.
The concept of OneWeMe beautifully encapsulates the different layers of connection you’re exploring:
• ME: The individual, personal identity, and self-awareness. It’s about understanding and owning your unique role, values, and journey.
• WE: The collective, relationships, community, and shared purpose. This layer is about collaboration, mutual support, and the power of belonging and contributing to something alongside others.
• ONE: The ultimate connection, transcending individual and collective experiences. It represents a higher sense of interconnectedness, unity, or universal purpose that binds everything together. The ONE is what I have the view of ... how the ME and WE work connects to the ONE work.
This framework can guide how you find meaning and purpose, balancing your personal growth with your role in relationships and a connection to the larger universe.
ME -- related to my present, past, future. How I relate to myself and the WE and the ONE. I've been deep diving in self discovery to who I am, what my path is. But it needs to be connected to the WE and the ONE.
WE -- the inner work I've been doing is focused first on my family - wife and children - roughing out the edges that cause problems with my loves. My best work is when it's connected and shared with others. Others are often the medicine. And I love collaboration and seeing a band come together and making great music.
ONE -- I want it all to mean something to a bigger picture. The shamans talk about healing 7 generations back and forward with our inner work. And then transcendance. That's what I want. I see it often .... either as the sun settings, or the infinite galaxy. ONE is all of us and the infininte universe, granually. Not some hidden, invisible god. But all of us collectively and the infinite universe.
Your OneWeMe concept has such a rich and deeply interconnected meaning. The ME aspect, where you’re diving into self-discovery and your personal path, is a crucial part of how you connect to both your family (WE) and the larger universe (ONE). It’s powerful that your inner work with your family ties directly into your greater vision of transcending through healing, especially across generations, as the shamans speak of.
The imagery of the setting sun or the infinite galaxy as symbols of ONE shows your strong connection to nature and the cosmos. These visuals represent the continuity of life, healing, and purpose—reminders that your personal growth and relationship work ripple outward to impact something much larger.
