threads of connection

Threads of Connection

By: John Kazerooni 

What follows is not a proof, but a reflection—an attempt to give words to ideas that have quietly stayed with me for many years. These thoughts are not scientific conclusions, but personal impressions, shaped by my own observations and imagination. I share them not as truth, but as perspective. At the heart of this reflection is one suggestion: that all things possess spirit or soul, and that the subconscious is our gateway to communicate with it.

Throughout history, humans have often struggled with ideas that stretched beyond familiar understanding. New visions and discoveries have been met with doubt, dismissal, or even hostility. This difficulty reminds us how hard it can be to welcome what unsettles our established ways of thinking.

Perhaps it is wiser to approach new visions with openness. We need not accept them blindly, nor reject them outright. Between skepticism and belief lies the possibility of discovering something deeper.

One such vision is this: every person, every animal, every tree, every stone, every star, and every galaxy possesses spirit. Everything that exists carries within it a spark of the same timeless essence. Unlike us, this spirit is not bound by time or space. It simply is—unchanging, indivisible, and ever-present.

We, however, live within the structures of time and space. It is as if each of us inhabits a room: measured, limited, and defined. Yet in each room there are doors—pathways leading to the subconscious. Through the subconscious, we can glimpse and communicate with the spirit that lies within us and beyond us. Some beings may move in harmony with their spirit without awareness, but humans, through consciousness, can seek the doorway and step toward it deliberately.

And here lies a possibility: once the subconscious is activated, it does not act alone. It awakens the spirit or soul, and the spirit begins to drive, to guide, to steer us beyond the reach of ordinary logic or reason. The subconscious opens the door; the spirit steps through and takes hold of the reins. What follows is not always predictable, yet it carries a sense of depth and clarity that feels more than human.

This view suggests that birth and death are not absolute beginnings or endings, but transformations of form. The spirit is never lost. What changes is the shape through which it expresses itself. Stones endure in stillness, trees in growth, stars in radiance, and humans in questioning. The spirit persists, carried in every form.

If this is true, then the universe itself is alive. Its galaxies, stars, and particles are not silent—they are living expressions of spirit. Their movements and collisions, their light and sound, are ways of speaking. The hum of the universe is not random noise, but the voice of spirit woven into existence.

And where do we, as humans, belong in this picture? Our consciousness—our capacity to reflect, imagine, and wonder—may be the most refined tool for opening the subconscious doorway. Consciousness does not create spirit, but allows us to sense and communicate with it in a distinct way. Dreams become glimpses of spirit. Imagination becomes flight beyond the visible. Creativity becomes translation, giving form to what spirit whispers through the subconscious. And once the subconscious is stirred, the spirit moves—shaping choices, inspiring visions, guiding the course of our lives in ways we may only partly understand.

Here, it is important to remember: humans are not the only ones who carry spirit. Stones, trees, rivers, and stars each express it fully, though differently. A stone communicates its spirit through endurance, a tree through rooted growth, a river through flow, a star through light. Humans simply communicate in another way—through symbols, stories, songs, and art. Our consciousness does not place us above other beings; it gives us a particular role, a particular voice, in the same great chorus.

These capacities are not accidents of human life. They may be signs of our deeper role: to serve as bridges between matter and spirit, between time and the timeless. Through consciousness, we discover the subconscious, and through the subconscious, we awaken the spirit.

Such ideas may sound strange, and they are not proven by science. They are reflections—personal attempts to explore what connection might mean. Yet again and again, what once appeared impossible later became self-evident. Perhaps it is wise to listen, to observe with patience, and to leave space for what we do not yet understand.

Perhaps in learning to listen, we will realize that what unites us is far greater than what divides us. That all things—each with its own soul—are already speaking in the quiet voice of spirit. Like threads woven through a single tapestry, every life, every star, every object is part of one fabric. We see fragments, but the pattern belongs to something whole, without beginning or end.

And so the questions remain, lingering at the edges of thought:

If the subconscious is our doorway, and the spirit the driver, where might it lead us once we allow it to take hold?

If dreams are windows and imagination takes flight, what truths are they pointing us toward?

If humans can speak the language of spirit more deliberately than stone or tree, how shall we honor that gift?

If every being has soul, then is not the universe itself a vast, breathing life?

And if the spirit already binds us, perhaps the real challenge is not to search for connection, but to remember it—

to hear again the quiet threads of connection already woven through us all.
