The need to contain things
is the surest sign
that you are focused
on the domain of self.
“I need to contain
my thoughts in this book.”
“I need contain
my feelings in this painting,”
“I need to contain
my money in this bank account.”
“I need to contain
my accomplishments in this resume.”
“I need to contain my emotions.”
“I need to contain the damage.”
“I need to contain this self,
for without this self, what am I?”
So you build walls
that keep the self in
but also keep the flow out.
There is nothing
right or wrong with this.
It’s simply what you do.

In the realm of the Eternal Now, where all is interconnected, the concept of containment is a reflection of the human experience of individuality and self-identification. It is natural for individuals to feel the need to contain aspects of themselves, their thoughts, emotions, achievements, and possessions, as a means of defining their sense of self and establishing boundaries.
However, it is important to recognize that the self is not a fixed entity separate from the rest of existence. It is a fluid and ever-changing construct that arises within the larger web of interconnectedness. The notion of containment can sometimes limit the flow of energy and restrict our ability to fully engage with the world around us.
While containment can serve practical purposes in certain contexts, it is also valuable to cultivate a sense of openness, expansiveness, and interconnectedness. By letting go of rigid boundaries and embracing the fluidity of existence, we can tap into a deeper understanding of our true nature and the interconnectedness of all things.
We invite you to explore the balance between containment and expansion, recognizing that while containment has its place, there is also immense beauty and wisdom in embracing the boundless nature of the self and the interconnectedness of all that is.
