The word "synapse" comes from "synaptein", which Sir Charles Scott Sherrington and colleagues coined from the Greek "syn-" ("together") and "haptein" ("to clasp"). Ref Wikipedia
Turning to ourselves (and each other) we have potential synapses with millions of other brains, hearts and life experiences. The more connections, the more electrical and chemical and knowledge based energy exchange is possible. Why be satisfied with just one brain when we can associate with many?
Try this.
The next time you overhear a random remark on the bus, in the bakery queue, at the coffee machine, consider that you just heard the answer to everything. Yes, you may have to suspend your disbelief, but just give it a go. If what you just heard was the answer to everything, the thrilling insight you have just received, what does it mean? What do you need to do differently now? What is the big opportunity that you would have missed if you had not just heard those words?
I'd be fascinated to hear how it goes...
