“We live together, we act on, and react to, one another; but always and in all circumstances we are by ourselves. The martyrs go hand in hand into the arena; they are crucified alone. Embraced, the lovers desperately try to fuse their insulated ecstasies into a single self-transcendence; in vain. By its very nature every embodied spirit is doomed to suffer and enjoy in solitude. Sensations, feelings, insights, fancies — all these are private and, except through symbols and at second hand, incommunicable. We can pool information about experiences, but never the experiences themselves. From family to nation, every human group is a society of island universes.” — Aldous Huxley, The Doors of Perception.

Sometimes we all need to step back and remember who we are:
“Anything and everything in existence can be mastered when you experience the truth of who you are. Once your mind is absorbed in the unbounded nature of pure consciousness, you are no longer upset by the play of opposites. You witness the world of duality, but you live in the field of pure potentiality. This is living from the source of lasting happiness — the source of power, freedom and grace.” — Deepak Chopra: Power, Freedom and Grace
Happiness is not dependent on outside forces and experiences. Happiness comes from within.

This morning my mind flashed to one of my favorite quotes by Aldous Huxley:
We live together, we act on, and react to, one another; but always and in all circumstances we are by ourselves. The martyrs go hand in hand into the area; they are crucified alone. Embraced, the lovers desperately try to fuse their insulated ecstasies into a single self-transcendence; in vain. By its very nature every embodied spirit is doomed to suffer and enjoy in solitude. Sensations, feelings, insights, fancies — all these are private and, except through symbols and at second hand, incommunicable. We can pool information about experiences, but never the experiences themselves. From family to nation, every human group is a society of island universes.
The works of Aldous Huxley have given me pause for much thought over the past 35 years or so. Bits and pieces of quote above have remained in my mind since the first time I read it in Huxley’s The Doors Of Perception.
My favorite collection of Huxley’s work is not his fiction, but “Huxley and God.”
