Journey are never separate events
THE ENTIRE UNIVERSE IS A SINGLE UNDIVIDED WHOLE
“Thought of the Week” for August 17, 1998
Wholeness in quantum physics even includes the experimental apparatus by which measurements are made. Beyond this, it includes the entire context of the experiment: the laboratory, the experimenters themselves, and so on. Quantum physicist David Bohm has observed, “Ultimately, the entire universe (with all its particles, including those constituting human beings, their laboratories, observing instruments, etc.) has to be understood as a single undivided whole, in which analysis into separately and independently existent parts has no fundamental status.” [Bohm quote from Wholeness and the implicate order, London: Routledge & Kegan Paul, p. 189]

Bohm’s observation echoes the beliefs of most eastern philosophies. More importantly, in the context of the hero’s journey, it implies that our journeys, as individual as they may seem, are really just one activity of the whole system of life. This would also support the concept of synchronistic help coming to those who have accepted the call and stepped over the threshold.
