>>I specifically said I wasn't angry. Are you implying you know better than I do whether I am angry? You may not MEAN to be communicating ineffectively, but you certainly are if you tell people who are not angry that they are angry. In fact, it might be enough to make people angry, if they were inclined to be angry. I'm not, and I'm not so inclined, but your style is, to put in bluntly, highly grating.
You are CLEARLY not in the same place I am in. And I doubt I will ever be in the same place you are. I've lived long enough to know that the people I can share even 60% of my ideas with is minimal- and even then I can't be SURE we understand each other, because I'm not in their head and they aren't in mine. I don't believe I can ever lose the unique separateness that is me. That "No Man is an Island" stuff? NOT my experience. My experience is that we are all islands. What we grow on our islands, what kind of commerce we permit between our island and other islands, determines how ISOLATED our island is, but we are still, and always will be (as long as we remain in discrete physical bodies) islands.
We can never (or I should say "probably" never) become unseparated in my cosmology. Your cosmology is different and completely alien to mine. I don't accept some of what I understand of it- but being nice to people, and sharing your energy I've done all my life, I can agree with that.>>
I agree and understand completely, but I won't threaten to get inside your head nor do I care to "grate" on anyone even as my style and approach creates this effect.
As far as islands go, water is all that separates and all that connects every island from/with each other. Water is a metaphor for all we've been going back and forth about: light, energy, darkness, ideas, feelings of separateness, etc. I just chose to use the word "connect" in reference to water, while others may use the word "separation." Both sides are "right", just two different approaches.
Learning to "let go" and jump into this water is all this is about. And this comment infers no judgment on anyone or any island. For I believe we are all connected anyway to begin with. How we perceive and understand this connection - with it's implied or real separation - greatly varies. And each feeling is "right."
Peace.
