All religious strife is rooted in the belief that there is but one truth and one path
The real problem in this is the dogged refusal of many to allow for multiple paths. You can allow for "One Truth", as long a people are willing to allow for multiple paths, because the Truth that is discovered in sincerely following any genuine path teaches you the tolerance to allow ANY Path.
"So the answer of what to do when faced with situations which do not reflect Who We Are is simple: Choose again"
In my Path, this takes the form of (instead of remaining in our egoic reactivity), turning:
-- breath -- feeling -- attention -- bodily activity
towards the Divine. It works, always, if it is done, sincerely and whole-heartedly.
"He is closer than your breath"
Excellent. Beautifuly stated!
From my Path, here is some more in that same vein:
Real God Is The True Source, The Very Context, The Real Substance, The Truth-Condition, The Very Reality, The Most Native Condition, and The Ultimate Self-Domain of all conditions, all causes, and all effects, For all that appears Comes From Real God (but IN Real God, and Only AS Real God).
Now I expect I will hear from Solon, who will say something like: "why does Adi Da have to use such shitty language to express something that was said better 5,000 years ago?"

Namaste!
