There are many problems in the world, but I feel that it all stems back to one thing- our lack of connectivity with the rest of society. Connectivity is exhibited in every other being on Earth. Sure, we have our friends and our coworkers, but we always have our own agendas. We, as humans, are greedy with our time and are unwilling to fully connect with anything. One of our biggest ’sins’, in my opinion, is our ability to keep secrets. If any other lifeform here on this planet had such a selfish regard for life, it would be completely out of balance. Think of anything with a colony- Bees, ants, lions, fish, birds… and through in the idea that they all had secret agendas. Right there… at that moment- the balance would be disrupted. It is in their harmony and willingness to work together that they survive. Breaking away from that method of living would bring about chaos and destruction to the natural order of things.

At one time, I think that humans actually had it figured out. We were connected through-and-through. Our minds were One. We were truly a series of societies. I think about this all the time- why is it that our brains are so little used? Why are we so hungry… or greedy? Why is it that one of the things we long for the most is a connection with someone else- someone who understands us? I feel that ALL of these things are connected to the same problem. When a purpose arises that people have to stand as one and solve an issue that threatens our survival or rights, they do it naturally. We know that there are powers in numbers- yet in our day-to-day lives, we live as a singular entity and do things without fully knowing why.

This disease is ages old. Many generations before us have continued this trend, blindly becoming more and more selfish and singular… taking their offspring further away from the singularly most important birthright away from us… our connection to society at the mental level. Even if one or two people figure this out and open themselves to the idea, each passionately connecting themselves to the Higher Mind, they would all find a void. A ghost town. It’s like every movie you’ve seen in which there are entire cities that are completely desolate of activity and life. One feels as though they are the only person on Earth.

So this is our problem. It’s the poetic division of Humanity. Because everyone feels as though we are separate from everyone else, crimes take place. Marriages die. Some people become poor. Others go insane. Everyone looks for their purpose for all of their lives- even when it’s staring them in the face the entire time. We are all unsatisfied. Empty. Scared. Abandoned. Alone.

It is because of this that I become more and more determined every day to do what I’m doing. My company, Rayne Nouvelle, is my model for New Business and an example of my belief system. Let me explain this.

It is a human characteristic to see human qualities in almost everything. We see faces in wood. Emotions in our pets. Warmth in a home. Design in the Universe. This is called Anthropomorphism. These days, businesses have become more and more mechanical and much more inefficient. They advertise their products, trying to get people to buy, buy, buy. Meanwhile, there’s the home office: customer service reps, managers, shipping, and so on. Each person is expected to contribute to other departments and to work overtime. Many businesses feel that following such a method is effective for the flow of money through the company. I feel that this is wrong. Many feel that organization is the law and that systems for dealing with customers are correct. WRONG! Businesses are becoming like shape-shifting clocks- in which the gears are also pendulums and sometimes help by actually telling the observer what time it is. WRONG! WRONG! WRONG!

Everyone has a series of strengths and weaknesses. The entities of the Human body are the same. The heart cannot walk for the body. The stomach won’t ever fall in love and the feet will never see. If a part of the body isn’t being used, it rests. Again, there’s that harmony. Every part of the body is essential for the life of the whole. There is no question about the function of the heart, stomach and feet. It is plainly evident how each part contributes to the body. I want to design a business in THAT model. It will be because of this that each of my employees will feel a sense of purpose and happily perform their tasks for the good of the business and the betterment of self.

In a sense, I have recognized a need exhibited by the human race. In response, I will do my best to bring back connectivity by giving them an example of how it works. By using the strengths and weaknesses made evident in each of the people in my life, I am condoning the return to ‘the way things should be’. It is for this that I will be remembered when I am gone. Yet- it is not just in business that I plan to do this.

By thinking about all the things that I have found to be self-evident in my life, I have invented a bright light that exposes most things for what they are- in most aspects of my life. Another example.

Family. Having made the virtue of human connectivity my primary moral compass, I have decided that it is in my best interest to learn as much as I can about how it works and what one can get from it. For every day that I remain open to receive and make attempts to contribute, my connection with the ‘vacant world’ becomes stronger. I am dedicated to the idea of sharing this wholeheartedly with the woman with whom I will eventually marry and bear children. The most important part of my children’s rousing is the encouragement of the instinctual desire to connect and the utilization of this connection. Through this endeavor, as well as that of my business, I would begin to rehabilitate the Human Hive Consciousness.

There is something else that plays a role in this effort- the war between the Self and the Ego. The Self is everything with which we come into this world. We innately know the difference between right and wrong. We know what our strengths are. We each know what we can and cannot do. It is the discipling of the Self that makes a virtuous person. Then there is the Ego. It is a manifestation of our Separateness from the rest of the world. It is the false sense of individuality and selfish agendas. By analyzing the Self and the Ego side-by-side, we come to realize that a person who lives by the virtues of the Self will naturally contribute good things to the Human Race. Those that embrace the Ego will only further destroy our True Humanity. Don’t get me wrong- individuality is essential- as is the knowing of yourself and who you are. Yet, the worship and mercenary homage to one’s own individuality will almost always cause harm.

You might think that I’m crazy as you read this. You might think it makes sense. As I’m writing this, I cannot begin to guess how you will react to my freely flowing tsunami of personal morals. I guess I just hope that you find it interesting… and, on a more personal level, perhaps you will gain a sense of belonging in my thoughts.
