There’s More to You than Meets the Eye…
We live in a materialistic world that seeks to describe everything in purely physical terms. We’re taught from childhood that if something can’t be measured, it can’t exist. Anything that lies beyond the scope of our instruments is dismissed as fantasy or the products of our imagination. But, as we develop more sophisticated measuring instruments, we discover layers of reality that had previously escaped our attention. The world that we perceive is revealed as subtler and more complex than we had previously suspected.
It’s a fact that recent advances in science are pushing back the frontiers of our knowledge. Standard explanations about the nature of the universe, widely taught and accepted theories that have endured for decades, are crumbling in the face of new discoveries. We are required now to be open to new and unexpected interpretations about the nature of reality. In light of these revolutionary disclosures, perhaps this is a good moment for us to consider our own human condition in a broader light. Perhaps we should be prepared to consider the conclusions of older traditions, cultures that described humans in ways that extend far beyond the limits of our physical perception. They concluded that we are more like icebergs, with only the physical element visible above the water line and that the greater part of us is concealed yet as real as the bodies we inhabit. Clearly, they took the view that there is far to us than our temporary physical forms.
The advice of ancient civilisations, cultures that shifted and changed yet endured for millennia, was that we need to integrate all the disparate elements of our beings in order to experience the fullest expression of our potential. More than physical, we still need to nurture and respect our bodies. As the various energies of our consciousness are expressed and brought into alignment, we experience profound transformation and an insight into the nature of reality.

These notions have always been discarded as fanciful within our materialistic culture. But with the advances in our understanding of the nature of reality, perhaps we are ready to concede that we really are far more than meets the eye.
