Everyone knows and no one knows.
Some claim to know and others claim it is impossible to know.
This is what i know.
I know when i am in agreement with someone we are one.
I know when i am having a disagreement with someone we are divided.
I know that i feel better when i am not divided.
Unity begins within.
If i don't feel good when i am divided i should strive to be one with my surroundings and i will feel better.
Seems to make sense to me.
When i begin to do this, everything begins to change.
I do mean everything, if everyone began to think this way even a message board like this would have to change its focus or go away.
When one starts to understand who they are the idea of debate becomes foolish.
When I begin to understand that everyone is at a different stage of truth rather than one being right and the other being wrong, my focus changes and I begin to realize how little I really know.
Judgement and criticism of others begins to fall away and empathy becomes the dominant motivator.
When I begin to conquer the division within myself, and actually experience unity, only then do I begin to learn anything of any real value.
Any experience that I have with a human being or anything else in creation is for my benefit and should be approached with humility and thanksgiving, not with the idea of divide and conquer.
What i learn in life is truth, what you learn in life is truth.
I can't teach you what you have to learn for yourself, nor can i learn from you, what i must ultimately learn for myself.
When I can really grasp this, i will begin to listen more and teach less.
Through empathy i will begin to learn the truth of others and use this to change myself.
