Personal growth is where improvement begins. Trust is what allows that improvement to scale beyond the individual. The less we are ruled by impulse and emotion, the better our choices and relationships tend to be. Personal evolution can happen in a low-trust world, but social evolution is much harder. If competence, integrity, and reciprocity are the foundations of trust, who is modeling those qualities, and how can more of us do the same?
Opal is now 8 weeks old and I’m not in a rush to place her, but I would 🩷 for the right home to find her. Opal would do best with someone looking for a loyal little sidekick and true adventure pup. PM if you’d like to know more about her.
From a non-dual perspective, moving from the ‘two’ to the ‘one’ isn’t about going from creation to a separate Creator, but about recognizing that what appears as reflection points back to a deeper unity. Things appear separate to us because we perceive through a kind of dual framework. I know that’s different from how Christianity usually frames reality.

Pamela Colman Smith (1878–1951), was an early 20th-century artist, writer, and mystic. Her most lasting artistic contribution was undoubtedly the art work for the Rider-Waite tarot deck.
Following the publication of the deck in 1911, Smith converted to Catholicism and devoted herself more fully to causes like women’s suffrage and the Red Cross.

@PathfinderAstro With Sun, Uranus and Pluto in the 12th conjunction Asc, all in opposition to Saturn, I am curious and adaptable— well aspected, not so much. It sounds wonderful though.
At 60 now and hopefully nearing the finish line of a lifelong project: unlearning many of the man-made ideas, customs, and theories that offend my spirit. It’s been a long and often messy road. Methinks a large number of us diligently try to get it right. With regard to reality seeking, we must be courageous yet humble and know that it is okay to see things differently. Unless we can grant this gift to others, we should not expect it ourselves.

Sir, I’m familiar with your framework and found much of your argument compelling, but the condescension, especially around the concept of the afterlife, undermined it. If your goal is to be understood, the tone and insistence on being right work against you. When others are framed as incapable, people stop listening.
