Outer Connection

Outer Connection involves the emergence of authentic, resonant, and compassionate relationships with other people, animals, natural systems, the cosmos, and even material artifacts of human culture. These connections occur through shared presence within the Fabric of Consciousness, and are strengthened by empathy, attunement, and mutual recognition.
