Kosmos is a beautiful word in Greek, because it means the beauty of the whole and it also means deep order, that there is a deep order to the world, to the universe, that is not random. When a person is deeply connected to their soul they have an increasing experience of Kosmos. It’s an immediate apperception of how incredibly beautiful and of how deeply orderly the universe is. People have this perception—almost like that is how the soul is seeing the world all the time—and we fragment that perception because of our suffering, because of our inability to stay connected. — Thomas Yeomans The Concord Institute
