Have you ever felt like you´re disconnected?..
In an isolated island on the north of the western part of my homecountry,Philippines, I was sitting on a white wooden chair, with my husband beside me, and both overlooking the "krustallos" clear,calm sea..truly fascinating! ..that very moment, I felt like I was disconnected...
There was nothing but beautiful lagoons, numbers of beautiful islet sitting everywhere, various species of fishes and different types of coral lying beneath the clarion water.
It was so amazing staying in that island, there were no worries of the cruel,poluted,distressing world as what we often experience or hear over the news.. How can you be updated on what´s going on with the world if it was even not so possible to access on current events because there was nowhere to find newspapers, even radio or television news..plus a very poor internet access. The only informative concern was the weather forecast, because this for sure would affect the daily plan. There was nothing to worry so much about, but on how to divide the time to enjoy and feel the daily experiences of staying in touch with nature..covering every single minute of the day with different sea and land sports: snorkeling,scuba diving,rock climbing,lagoon tours,deep swimming with "big jacks", fishing, kayaking..or simply swimming and sunbathing or reading by the fascinating view. There was no way to feel anything than excitement and adventure, and the day simply passing unnoticed.
It was for me a total disconnection from the world of our ordinary everydayness, instead a deep connection with nature.
..but, have you really ever felt like you´re disconnected?..
Surely, everybody does in a certain moment of time...from the real world, from others, even from your very self.
As quoted by Robert Fritz, you are disconnected if you limit your choices only to what seems possible or reasonable, you disconnect yourself from what you truly want, and all that is left is compromise.
You are disconnected from others by being so much focused on yourself. You get disconnected from the real world when you feel so much connected with the internet world..in many different ways,from simple to abstruse...
Unfortunately, this very state is very much known that once experienced, is like a trap in the darkest cave where nobody hears and listens no more..thus, creates discomfort and compassion to the side of the few keen observers. This is so true of course to the unfortunate some who experience disconnection this way..worse more on the darker side.
But how about while walking down the crowded street, by simply putting your headset on and have your ears enjoy your favorite hits..isn´t it that you are disconnected from the exasperating crowd? Or how about a much deeper one..like transforming your bromidic everydayness to an extra-ordinary aqueduct..where you feel disconnected from your acclimatized sunrises and sunsets?..it´s far more favorable kind of disconnection isn´t it?
..in this sense, it´s nice to have an interim disconnection sometimes:-)
