A little paradox or invertendo.
Looking or attending deeper and deeper inside myself I experience more and more common things and states, and unifying me, with others outside me.
Looking or attending outside my body, I experience more and more things differentiating and separating me from others.
Looking or attending outside my body, I experience more and more things differentiating and separating me from others.
Yet if I go outside to subtler and subtler levels, I again find things and states that are common and fundamental.
But going to such subtler levels outside (finding bosons, e.g.), needs immense physical and mental energy, money and outside resources.
Going inward needs only interest. From interest, giving time, opening up to inspiration, letting go of mental strictures - all these follow naturally.

Understanding the natural rhythms of life - both inner and outer rhythms - comes mainly by going inward. Though outer rhythms are understood in a cyclical way - outer experience, inner pondering, inner experience, ponder, change expectations, experience, and so on. Understanding inner rhythms also involves a similar cycle, but outward attention is not needed.
