The Purpose of Disconnection

This is mostly directly from a discussion we had about the source of disconnection that humans have had. Where did it start? If we at one time were connected to the world and all living things around us, connected with our body, mind and spirit and to the body, mind and spirit to everything around us, then what happened that broke that connection? I was viewing this disconnection as making us weak and losing our sense of Selves as something negative because it has obviously affected us in a negative way.

     "Why is it when we are in our earthly selves we understand and feel pain but in the spiritual realm we        don't? We have to suffer to understand happiness. What if we experience things we can't experience in the spirit world?"

     "I think a good question is what is the end goal? I'm thinking consciousness in itself, life, may have caused that split. When a part of the whole became aware of itself. In which case, is the end goal really to be one again or simply to fully spiritually realize that within yourself, and just to spread love and positive energy?"

     "Maybe its consciousness that divided us and we are supposed to find consciousness to connect again. We have to disconnect to understand pain and we have to understand pain to understand happiness and we have to understand happiness to connect again."

     "I think that the disconnect occurred for happiness. And all other aspects of the process have to be understood to really feel true happiness!"

If this is true, then pain can be viewed in an entirely different perspective. We NEED pain, we WANT to feel pain so that we can feel joy and love. It is all a part of the purpose, it is because we are conscious that we feel pain but it is also because we are conscious that we can feel happiness and love. Consciousness separated us so that we may connect to each other again through the acceptance of pain and the acceptance of happiness and love into our lives.
