Your article is so beautiful — shows how decent people everywhere celebrate the universality of spiritual practice across traditions. Happy Easter!

Like a profoundly spiritual person in my community has said- when we truly accept that the Highest resides within us, and that we are but instruments of that Higher presence, life begins to move… effortlessly, gracefully, in flow.

🌸 Om Shanti 🌸

Thank you.

Still practicing that embodiment of higher will. A delicate dance with the ego.

Amen, amen, amen. Thank you and may this be the beginning of a true and faithful Resurrection. For all of us.

“Removed from noise and narrative we know our ways with absolute clarity.” Yes. But we rely on people making that choice to remove themselves from noise and narrative, and to not adhere blindly to another narrative to ease their pain. It is a painful process of removing your attention towards a belief, especially a longstanding one in your life.

I also see that we’re not being oppressed with silence, but rather with noise. And the world is getting much brighter, so much so most are squinting or have just closed their eyes altogether.

That being said, I have hope we’ll come together once more. It’s a beautiful idea that individually we all have a very small piece of the larger whole, definitely some truth in that. It’s always the endless pursuit of your purpose, good luck.

Well said, thank you. Indeed it feels like a process of dying to let go of beliefs and conditioning. And in a noisy world we are prone to immediately replace it with a different one, rather than stay with the discomfort of silence.

I have hope, too. :)

Such a pity to witness how ill informed US people are. And, I am one.

Similarly, how many people accept one military excursion, in whatever way of support or form, is a solution vs. a greater effort through dialogue and negotiation.

A move towards a $2.2trn defense budget tells me likely to see more destruction. Ironically, this does make me feel any safer.

No one is making you live here. Perhaps give today’s Germany a try while the US does the heavy lifting of keeping the world safe from terrorist nations like Iran.

I hear your frustration and you're right that free riding is an issue.

Fighting terror with terror does not serve the US or anyone.
