Dear Open,

Thank-you so much for your explanation.

I can see how that path would be deeply enriching and an end in itself experientially in this realm. My feeling is that some souls are particularly attracted to and gifted in that area.

I’ve had plenty of paradigm shifts realising new iterations of self. But my sense is that those aspects are like outfits or clothing and fundamentally the unchanging aspect underneath remains unconditionally. It’s like the psychotherapy veterans of twenty years, they’re much the same as those without therapy. This has been widely accepted in those circles now.

I look from that wider perspective and intuition tells me that such a path would be a never ending kaleidoscope. Beautiful yes, masterful even, but keeps one wrapped up in the minutia surely? It is a matter of taste perhaps, this soul doesn’t care what outfits it wears or whether it’s evolved, right, wrong, good, bad, it doesn’t matter anymore.

On the other hand, to claim that one has no sense of an individual identity, is simply not true. To navigate the world of bodies and souls there must be boundaries. I will absolutely be following your work as it’s a powerful tool of self development no doubt. We cannot deny karma because it is there, but it is how we work with it respond to it.

I have an interesting recent addition to my karmic plane, working closely with a sociopath and the associated antics. For a detached and sovereign being, it should be a walk in the park. I would very much like to engage in some facilitation though, to practice this unique route of self enquiry.

Wishing warmest blessings

Zen
