Pondering on the thought of being connected. Of being fastened together. What does it really mean?

So many questions arising out of one statement.

People. What is the difference of being WITH someone. Being in a room full of people. Being a friend. Associate. Aquaintance. And being CONNECTED with a person?

How do you know when you're connected?
How is a connection still bonded even when there is not some detrimental issue going on in someones life where you talk it out and then you have this "connection"?
What IS that?
When is it beyond that?

I cannot even write out every little thought streaming through my mind that would make complete sense or get across my point or questions.

For records sake, in an attempt for any persons reading this not to twist what I am meaning to say in all this, this is not a reflection of my doubt in people. This is not portraying me having a distance between people. Nothing of the sort. It is simply something the Holy Spirit has laid on my heart to open up and discover on a new level. Bridging the gap of the natural and the spiritual. I am simply curious to learn on a deeper level the Body of Christ. For better understanding and knowledge. And in order to keep my thoughts somewhat organized, I write it. Thats what I do. Then maybe throw in some perspective for someone following my blog. Kinda the point. This is only the beginning so I dont lose track. Ha.
