Freewill
In 1997 I attended a 9 day Intensive in Nonviolent Communication along with 50 others from around the world. One evening we did a group exercise where all of us laid on the floor with our head toward the center creating a sunburst pattern. Lights dim, not touching and from total silence we were instructed to chant. Immersed in this tremendous current of sound, I began to experience and imagine some kind of ancient memory of our original bond of unity. Our differences in age, culture, education, gender, history or religion was unimportant in this oneness and I was filled with bliss. And then... one lone voice moved from Om to a quacking duck. Others followed. There were dogs barking, roosters crowing, words and laughter. Soon individual expression was louder than Om. As the room got louder, my own sound got stronger; my body was vibrating and my energy stayed focussed. Slowly, over time, one by one each voice returned to this vast sea of unified sound: Home.
Was this a microcosmic experience of our life on earth?
