This has been an enjoyable thread.
The only comment I can make is to follow the heart voice, whether in dual or
non-dual space.
And for the story about the drowning baby, it would be for a wise person for
that still to be the case. The heart always tells true. Maybe that baby was
going to be the next Hitler so it was better for it to drown. Ego attachment
does not know this?
At one level we are drawing outward experiences into our life as well as
being drawn to experiences, to reflect our own inner world. We should
remember this and for many things we are moved to a place to break out of
our own inner attachments. That's where greater bliss, freedom and peace may
be found.
I was talking recently to someone about needing someone in my life and could
not decide about her, as in one way it felt very right but at the other end
it was causing me a lot of struggle as my own ideas about how I should be
treated were being pushed to the limits. She reflected me great in many ways
and I've benefited from that even if I cursed her and the situations in
times previous. There's a gem of growth in every struggle.
To throw in another comment, it's easy to use heated language or terms to
draw people's emotional investment into an idea. I did it myself when I used
the word rape in a poem sometime ago. One of the meanings is to seize or
take away by force, which fitted very well. I knew it was a charged word for
some but like art, there are different ways of looking at things. It wasn't
meant to be offensive. Just to see things another way.
Okay enough, back to my cave....
