Not every person is a reflection of you. What you see in them and dislike isn’t always an unloved or unhealed part of yourself that needs looked at.
Or a trigger you have to work through. We are not mirrors.
More and more I see that this is a “Oneness” program of the toxic New Age/ Spiritual community to keep us stuck in the cycle of birth, death, rebirth. The karmic loop.
A simplistic “love and light show” peddled everywhere spirituality is sold.
The truth is that we are progressing at different rates.
If we move forward constantly identifying that “we are all One” seeking sameness, doubling down on our commonality as humans, that isn’t for our highest good.
Because our humanity isn’t what is unique about us. Our spirit is. That which animates the body. And we aren’t all here for the same reasons. Or are at the same levels of evolution.
In this time, as humans, we are actively choosing different pathways. That’s part of the split in this era.
We might be from the same primary cosmic soup, Source, but we are from various cultures of origin that have very different reasons/missions for being here, and not all of them are good. Some are to seed chaos and others are to assist positive change.
Oversimplifying ourselves and lumping us all together as One does a disservice to our individual pathways. And we can see that no one really buys the whole “we are all humans, so band together” ethos, anyway. We intuitively know.
And what that Oneness also does - and I think it’s intended - is it neutralizes evil. Waters it down. And that has to been seen clearly now. It’s important.
As individuals on a spiritual path, we are here at the same time and have to chart a course away from collective amnesia. Oneness tethers you back to it.
Compassion is what elevates the discourse and connection between us. Love. But Oneness, that will keep us stuck.

I love this Ryan. I think in the wellness space, "new age", etc...there is so much room for misinterpretation or the belief that everything is just one way. at this point in my life I am not even sure if everyone is a part of the human family! ;) Would love your thoughts on Indra's net, I think that is where people misunderstand that "oneness" theory. lots of evil all around on every platform. thank you for your awareness. It gives me hope that people can still be reached and will think critically, before it is too late.
Oneness neutralizes evil. So profound, Ryan. We're not all here for the same reasons, but regardless of what each one of us needs to learn, we all need compassion and hopefully, we find ways to show it to others.
