Turiya, I loved your post. Very inspiring and wise.
And now, for a moment, back to identification, if you will. In my view, as I identify with my Self as soul (microcosm of Spirit) and holographic component of Spirit, I can feel connection and resonance. I know that others have different experiences and perspectives, and I honor that.
I wonder if the disease of the mind that you mention does not cause a "Disease of the heart" where the mental sense of separation infiltrates the feeling world with a vibration of hate, irritation, or intolerance? With reflection in stillness those walls seem to dissolve. (Ewan referred to this.)
Though we can only change ourselves, I feel compelled to ask for acceptance. In return, I am committed to exercise my intention to accept all others. Of course, I am a work in progress!
I'm going to share a video here. It is me reading a book I wrote. I do wish to clarify: this book is not for sale. At one time I self-published a small number of them, but they are gone and no longer available. Some day, I will publish it again.
"Clothing of the Soul"
