States of Being

πάντα ῥεῖ (panta rhei) "everything flows”

​

Human perception is guided by the mechanism of attending to different aspects of our surroundings and categorizing them for understanding. This innate process rejects the reality that we are in a constant state of motion. In the way that a camera captures a fraction of a second, our brains interpret different aspects of existence as separate conditions that make the human experience. We compartmentalize thoughts, feelings and experiences to give the illusion of stillness and order.

​

We have never existed in this way, but choose to interpret ourselves as such to satisfy the need for importance and meaning in our lives. Take a moment to reflect upon the fluid nature of our experience, to enter a mental space where there are no walls and the edges of our awareness can expand beyond physical limitations. We are never just a being operating within a body or existing in one location at a single point in time.

​

Even in times of absolute stillness, we are moving.
