Hi Elaine, yes I'm with you, in finding the place where one is not triggered by events such as this - to be able to equalise with the situation.

You originally said...

This is all great, however you are still working in/with duality.

Do you mean I am, by writing the piece? Or do you mean others are, by being wrapped up in the situation?

For me, it depends on what you mean by "duality". I think a lot of people in the spiritual mainstream band the word around when what they're actually doing is simply detaching from the situation - dropping the hot coals but not actually becoming as one with the heat. So for me, I don't accept "non-duality" as some kind of spiritual truth. I often see distortion in how it is practiced. For me, true non-duality means I am being the absolute (the creator), but then at the same time, the absolute flows through me as the soul and yearns to express.

In the Openhand Approach, it's about recognising there is unique soul expression invited. I trust in the "creator" yes, but at the same time, I am the creator. And as that, there's an invitation to unleash the passion of the soul - and other qualities, especially in such emotive circumstances as these. My point is that we are the creator source, from which all manifested, AND AT THE SAME TIME, a unique soul having a unique journey of actualisation through these events.

To express passionately about something, does not necessarily mean to be triggered by it.

That's my point.

Open 🙏
