Raphael,
Greetings in Peace and Liberty.
I apologize for the delay in answering. Your question is of such a sensitive nature I chose to wait until I felt I could answer in the appropriate
Spirit of the question.
Therefore, I share the following information with you as my opinion, and my opinion only.
It is not so much what you believe as why you believe it that's important.
We are all One in the Spirit. We only appear to be separate so as to allow the greatest depth of experiential knowledge (otherwise known as wisdom)
to occur. We do this in service to the One Infinite Creator of All.
On this planet, we know what a given thing is only because we know what it isn't. We know that something is a 'tree' for example, because we know
it's not a car. Or a rock. Or a lake. Or anything else but a tree.
We know something is 'hot' because we have experienced 'cold'. There is nothing which can exist in our sensory experience which does not have an
opposite. And that is why it exists for us.
So I give you these words in the Spirit of Peace, of sharing information, and of being One with All.
If someone chooses to identify with something which is apart from anyone else, then that person, in my opinion, identifies with what is not. Since we
are all One, then none of us is apart from anyone else.
To identify in that way is to separate oneself from the One Infinite Source. This is what creates fear in us.
The more we identify with something 'else' the more fear we create.
Therefore, in my opinion, we are not apart from anyone else. We are, actually, a part of the Whole. We each have our own identity, but it is in
conjunction with everyone else as forming ONE.
I see by your post that you are studying different viewpoints and therefore you understand that you are not separate from the Whole.
Nevertheless, to experience such a personal Spiritual experience is truly AWE-some.
Thanks for sharing that deeply personal experience. May you continue to live in Peace.
Jim
