Something I want to bring up to your attention. It's something that I'm having a hard time with. Now it makes perfect sense to me, but I'm still having a hard time with it. So I wanted to share that with you and see if you felt the same. The thought comes from reading The Living Gida by sus Swami Sachidananda, and there's a part in there where Krishna is telling ar Yuna that we are all one. And we've heard a lot about that in this new thought, new age movement, whatever you want to
call what we're doing here, the fact that we are all one. But what exactly does that mean at the core of it, Well, I would think that what it means is that when you look at another person, you're really looking at yourself in a different situation, in a different body and a different personality, a different you, but you nonetheless. And then he talks about chocolate. I know, I love chocolate. There's all so many different types of chocolate, different sizes and shapes and flavors. And you go to
a candy store and the kids order one kind of chocolate. The other kid orders a round chocolate, another one orders a square chocolate, and they're all arguing about which one's the best. Oh, mind tastes better, No mind tastes better. At the end of the day, it's all chocolate, right, It's all the same thing. They're just in different forms, different shapes,
but they're the same thing. So I have a hard time with that because in this age of complete and utter division in our country, at the very least here in the United States, when you look at someone across the aisle and you see the things that you feel are so incredibly heinous that you can't believe that they would actually believe some of the things, you start to demonize them. You start to see them as not you. And that's one
of the things that I'm working on. One of the hardest things that I'm working on is when I look at you, I want to see me in another circumstance. It's important for you to be in a different circumstance, because that's why we're here, to experience all circumstances, in all points of view
and all examples of what we could possibly be and think and feel. And so instead of demonizing someone from the other side of the aisle, I'm trying to see them and celebrate them as who they are, and that is someone that is me trying to experience something completely different than what I in will form is experiencing. And that's beautiful when you think of it that way, when
you can see yourself. And there have been times when I've been driving down the street and suddenly I feel this connectedness with everyone else around me that's driving as well, everyone in their cars, everyone in the street. I just see them as me in different circumstances and that changes everything, everything, and that's really amazing. But it's so easy to fall out of it, especially
these days. So I urge you and encourage you to try that today, and everyone you see, try to see them as another you in a different circumstance, because honestly, that's the reality of it. They are a different you in a different experience, and that is perfectly okay, that is divinely okay. You see, we need to celebrate each other in our different circumstances so that when we reunite as one in the astral plane, we can bring
these experiences and this knowledge to ourselves in oneness. Does that make any sense? I hope it does, because when I started it made perfect sense in my head, and now I might've talked myself into a tizzy. Anyway, Just remember when you look across the aisle, you're seeing you looking at you across the aisle, So try to do that with love.
