The umbilical cord once connected us to a large universe called “MAMA”. At birth, this connection was severed and the breath set in, which in turn connects us to a huge universe; to “PACHA_MAMA” or “MOTHER EARTH”.
There is no isolated “I” in the womb. The baby really only exists as a biological unit with the mother. The father can sense this unity, feel it and support it in the best possible way. At birth, the baby leaves the mother-child unit and enters into unity with the cosmos through the breath. From this point onwards, both parents are physically separated from the child. Through sensing and feeling, they accompany the child and later the teenager in earthly existence to explore this unity of I & COSMOS, powerfully connected.
In turn, the child learns about conditions and strategies for being loved as an individual (ME) by the community (WE) or at least receiving attention, how it belongs and how it can manipulatively increase its self-esteem in the social environment. In the beginning, babies communicate mainly through basic emotions. If it is not heard, perceived, regulated and nursed, it focuses more and more on survival strategies in the divisive structures between the ME and the WE. Relationships become functional as a result of deficiency thinking. The natural unity of ME & COSMOS, which is always fundamentally given by the breath, is increasingly disregarded.
Humanity is currently facing a major rebirth: we are collectively in the process of no longer thinking of community in functional and strategic terms from the I-COSMOS divide (me and the world or me and the cosmos). This separation is currently still evident in many forms of thinking in terms of scarcity and in survival struggles of all kinds. However, humanity is facing the bottleneck of feeling the common bond from an atmosphere in which the I and the COSMOS once again form a unity. There is no longer an EITHER-OR THINKING, but only an EITHER-OR FEELING: the I as a separate individual entity does not exist in reality. There is only the ME, which feels a current WE (as a partnership, family, work team, humanity, etc.) and at the same time the COSMOS in an individual way.
Indigenous peoples did not know the term NATURE. As they mentally experienced themselves as part of nature, nature was not a separate object of observation. Therefore, it did not need a separate term.
But even this fact should not be romanticized! The indigenous peoples’ sense of community was mostly tribe-related and regionally oriented – just as civilized peoples think in terms of nations and economic areas. The civilization and industrialization of people and the colonization of indigenous peoples therefore created a great mental separation from nature. Today, however, through technology and globalization, we have the opportunity to reconnect with nature and to feel the community (the WE) from the I-COSMOS UNITY, boundlessly and unconditionally connected: This is R-ONE-HEAD. That is unconditional love. That is MUNAY. And SONQO – CELEBRATE LIFE stands for this renewal of boundlessly connected existence from the authentic R_Unity as WE (social) and at the same time as COSMOS (ecological) !
