As you say, oneness is in everything. Everything exists in a unity, and a definite intuition of unity is a touch with the real or best in everything. It is a concept that applies to our everyday life realities and in this mood it is possible to enter every experience with the whole of our being, in unison with all that is.

We have all seen someone we know is obviously hurting themselves. We want so bad to just tell them to "snap out of it," but we know that doesn't work. Yet often we say that anyway, making the problem worse. We need to be aware of where people are in their journey, and just be there for them. This is something I struggle with... I try to lead instead of just walking beside someone. But I am making strives in my own way. I see people around me struggling, and in my own mind I am very happy, so I do want to share with others how I got to this point. That is why some things I post are psychology, some are based on Christianity, some on Bhuddism some on Hinduism, all different view points. Different ideas will resonate with different people and will help them along. But I agree it is never good to push ideas on someone. I also agree that the best thing we can often do for people is to live by example or to simply show love. On the topic of showing love, we often withhold love from others at the very time they need it most (dealing with addiction, after committing a crime, etc). So on this note the next post will be on the idea of expressing love in a profound way which runs somewhat counter to the way our current society works. But has a proactive and much more beneficial result, I believe. I should be posting that tonight sometime. Thanks for sharing that. I am sure many people have had similar thoughts. I know I have.

It can break a negative trance, a negative stream of thoughts, it can send positive ripples to far corners of the earth. A tiny action can go a long way. Even if that action is simply sending someone a little light. Your exercise is a good one. We often forget how much a smile or a wave, or a tiny conversation can do for someone.

In past posts, the idea that before we are born we set up certain obstacles that we will have to overcome in our life. Some of these obstacles we will need to face head on, other will be taught to us by others. But in the end we end of learning from both. Your last few sentences express a very important state of mind. Well said. Yup, I agree with that.
