What is this thing called Connectedness? Is it a sympathy that strikes a cord when we see others in difficulty? Not really. Perhaps because to walk a mile in another person's shoes is not to experience the bad times, the sad times but to experience the happy times, the exalting times as well.
Look at the little people. Look at the children. They seem to sense the moods and emotions of other children and adults as well. When they are in nurseries or other groups, perhaps even when only two or more are together, they not only sense but respond to the moods and emotions of those around them. This is not sympathy but perhaps is better described as empathy. It is as if one gives off vibrations of a frequency that the other can resonate to. And the response is instantaneous and complete.
A great teacher once said, "only as ye be as children can you enter the kingdom of Heaven". Are the children showing us what we have lost in our sophistication as adults? Do we have to re-capture the empathy, the connectedness in order to travel to other dimensions? Can we find a way such as time travel or is energy the key as in some Star Trek transporter?
