When we consider our conditioning, belief systems, domestication, education, it, amongst other things, has caused seperation. We became individual and everything appears outside of ourselves. I have, like most here, have come to realize the b/s of all our belief systems. We then start the journey of awakening, changing how we see the world, how we think, how we act, ect, looking for truth.
This world can be very hard to live in, All we hear about and see in the mainstream is mayhem. violence, distruction, ect. We have to forgive ourselves, We were not taught the right way of being from the begining and as we all know there are many reasons why this is.
If everyONE was taught from the start, Love, respect and understanding for ALL beings and ALL things instead of feeding the ego's, this world would be very different indeed.
It helps me greatly to remember, the only thing I have control over is myself, and that can be a mission at times... Keeping my own light shining is paramount as one can easily fall away if not vigilant...
peace to all
