Yes, as you say Open there is ''karma in it all for us all'' when we open our eyes and feel deeper into the collective. Why do people hide anyway ? Avoid ? Overlook ? Perhaps from being cut off from source or because the bear truth is incredibly difficult to swallow and involves looking /exploring much deeper inside oneself at ones own stuff.I do think fear is a huge part of it, fear of meeting oneself. We are all apart of it. I have been going through part of my journey of experiencing reality as having no sense or meaning whatsoever, which is very different to how I have previously experienced life.
But at each moment there is a choice ,always a choice and a message unique to each and everyone. We can look at what is there before our eyes, or turn a blind eye but nothing truly goes away until it is truly looked at,felt into and mastered which you are conveying in your own words above. Messages abound as realties come and go. It does matter and there is sense!
