Each of are a small part of a larger whole. But each of us are the entirety of existence as well. The ocean we speak of is made of us, in us, and comes from us. The universe is within us being projected outward. This is an individual endeavor yet collective and collaborative.
Everything exists for you, by you, from within you and is about you/us.
I AM THAT I AM.
Remember when you were a child and you parents would scold you by saying:
“LIFE ISN’T ALL ABOUT YOU!”
THEY WERE WRONG.
