There Are No Separate Events

Interdependent web of Events

I let go the ball from my hand. This is an example of an event in common parlance and appears a full fledged event in itself. However upon deeply examining the event we shall have a different clarity. I would have picked the ball once, clutched it and held it in order to let it go. I was in the same vicinity where the ball was, I came to the place, I had a drive to pick the ball and had a drive to let it go, I was in fact born, I was born because my parents met and so on. So this is a continuous chain of events which lead to my picking and letting go the ball if we see deeply. 

Similarly   there was a ball. Means someone got it there. He had the drive to get a ball from the shop and put it there. The shopkeeper had a drive to buy the ball first and someone was making ball. Further someone made the raw material and put it in process.

Ball is dropped: it shall have a degree of influence over other things in future or other events. Which might not be very apparent or have small or bigger impact but for sure they do have. In a series of Dominos the middle one has as much the onus of receiving the input of push from previous domino as it has to pass on the push to next domino. It’s a continuous event. And again it is dependent on someone cared to line up dominos etc etc.

So in reality if we keep digging we shall reach to the beginning of the universe through various web of intermingled events. Imagine a very large and complex web of sporadic manifestation where these manifestations are interlinked with numerous nearby so called events and thus in fact every event will eventually get influenced by every other event or become interdependent. The level and degree of influence might differ or some events might be very distant cousins or even might appear unconnected, but in reality all the events are inter connected via a thick or thin, long or short but dependent path.

Manifestation might not cover the true meaning of un manifested and we as human often miss the small over big. A tiny seed has a tree hidden in itself. A small strand of DNR or RNA called virus can alter the world, such is the interdependence of the universe on everything and in turn everything influences it. There is nothing beyond its clutches. Every event has its predecessor and successor events and this is a continuous unending process.

Thus we have to be very careful of our actions as they have a larger and everlasting impact on everything else in the entire universe. Being mindful towards it creates a pathway for inclusiveness and responsive actions.
