Seeing the "other" as yourself
When I was 14 I had a serious skiing accident. I was in the hospital for 5 weeks. I was lucky. I think, looking back, that this was a major eye-opening, "turning point". I, actually, feel that it was more like a heart opening experience. I remember feeling very "seen" by a couple of nurses, and my doctor. One nurse, in particular.
In retrospect, I can see that I started some kind of "search" at this point. Maybe to replicate the feeling that I "thought" I got from that nurse. She seemed to accept me just the way I was. Of course, I did not realize that then. I looked outside of myself for that
love. And couldn't find it because it was In me, all along.
This injury, today, helped me to realize the insignificance of situations (the "things" of life, the form life takes). The connections we have; the Love is All there Is. Seeing the "other" as yourself.

Inspired by Marite, and All
Alchemy. I had a dream last night about alchemy but now I cannot conjure it back. Something will come up. Knitting the dream of Life In To Love.

Well Come!
It is not until we realize that we didn't have a choice that we are Truly able to respond to an other human being---from a 'place of choice'. "Before" that, in ego, all unconscious humans only know reaction.
And they have been acting in a way that they did not choose;
therefore their actions are crazy-mad and unconscious.
Violence, anger, jealousy, hate, evil
All of us have been in this place of normal "ego" madness. And Now many, many begin to "step out" of this pattern (thousands of years)
If You are reading this You are one of these "mutant" humans!
You have suffered enough or recognized the intense suffering of others
...the countless suffering of humanity (hu-Wo+Man-ity) for centuries

We, Literally, Cannot Think About It
The Depth of Life cannot be spoken
But We can say that we know; we sense this Ocean that surrounds us, is in Us
Sometimes diving Deep
Be(comes) living deeply

I Am the Freedom Full in my Heart
I realize that some of the things I say may not make sense to most people. This is not due to a lack of understanding or knowledge on Your part; Or one may think that I am not clear or that I state the obvious; maybe You think you've heard it all before or I don't know what I'm talking about.
All misunderstanding comes from one place: the conditioned ego mind, collective and individual, both. You may think you understand but through the filter of the ego You can never understand. No one is at fault for this. If You can recognize the conditioning in others first and then yourself, You find the True Freedom You've been after, all along. If only for a moment! You Are on Your Way

Through the I AM, the It, known AND Unknown, both
We cannot blame others for their unconsciousness
We have all been unconscious within this field of Now
We all have the possibility of "waking up to reality"
It Is All-Ways Now.
(things come and go, forms change constantly, but in the Now)
We can't know why or how or what
But We sense the Truth, not through thinking
Through some Unknown 'faculty'
Something undefinable
We can know that It Is, but we cannot know IT (through the external world)
But the external world comes Alive with inner knowing
~Knowing that each Core self is One Core

"Possessed by the ego" (a phrase from Eckhart Tolle)
Conflict between people is often a constant state of being. Well, two people have to have egos for this. If only one is still answering to the ego then that entity will experience the continual dis-ease of the "normal madness" that everyone has. Everyone has this defect of living in the past and the future, places that only exist as a mental construct. And EVERYONE has the possibility of "stepping beyond" (Eckhart Tolle) this limited state in to the field of Now.
The way the past 'exists' for You is through your memories in the present moment. And the future is a place we never get to. Just the realization of this is enough. This one realization brings True Peace. Peace in every moment, in every situation. You reside in the ocean, the meadow, the forest, the lake, the sky, the universe, the infinity of Peace itself.
