One of our most touted traits as humans is that we are social beings. However true this may be, we are spiritual beings first. If there is a common thread for the planet and even the universe, it is spiritual. The Ancients strengthened their awareness of this connection by learning more about the natural and supernatural worlds. They sensed, that despite countless physical differences throughout these worlds, there was a greater similarity beyond the visual. Therefore, their first need was not to be social and to be with someone. Their greater need was to remain interwoven with the common thread. Even if they didn't understand everything, the Ancients followed their intuitive sense that all things above and below share a spiritual heritage and thus a need to remain in sync.
Being aware and seeking harmony with the spiritual component of life, places us right in the path of our purposes and passions. The collision is unavoidable. This alone led the Ancients to the thousands of discoveries that allowed them to grow and prosper. These discoveries were not as much discoveries (humans figuring them out) as they were revealings (human mind maturing, expanding and evolving the more it became in sync with everything else).
This is still available to us today. The more time we spend strengthening our communication with the spiritual, the more we will receive revealings of potentials and possibilities. It will happen because we will become aware of why we are and who we are. The soul will no longer search for itself in someone else. Harmony won't allow it. The overwhelming and constant need to be with someone in order to feel complete will then find its rightful, less dominant, resting place. It will only rise when it is well with our souls.
