There’s a saying in English that some people can’t chew gum and walk at the same time. The point is that we have trouble doing more than one thing simultaneously because whatever it is that we’re doing takes all of our attention.
So, in the world we go through our mundane tasks every day. Depending on our situation, they’re different but in our formative years they usually include going to work, trying to earn a living, raising a family and all of the things that a householder does.
Now, most people are so involved in these tasks that they begin to do them in an automatic way and these things become the center of their existence, and the most important things in their existence. For some people making money becomes the paramount thing to do in their formative years. For some people making sure their kids get the proper education, or go to the proper schools, or learn to behave appropriately becomes the most important thing.
What happens is people forget that there’s also another part to this existence; that the world that we see is not all there is. There is a world that we don’t see. And this world that we don’t see is as important as the world that we do see, and as we begin to understand the world that we don’t see, we begin to realize that it’s actually the largest part of existence. It’s greater than the world that we do see. The world that we do see is a very small thing like a mustard seed. The world that we don’t see is the rest of all of existence.
Now, if we can walk through the world that we do see and be conscious simultaneously of the world that we don’t see, then our existence changes and we become someone different…
