Feelings can separate one from others. However, there can be shared feelings which could help us identify with others.
Identification can be fine when we deliberately do it. However, we can lose our selves with identification. We become a smaller self.
We can back out of that and become a larger self by observing the feelings with love.
sometimes it is true..sometimes it is not!! Feelings sharing with others make us know ourselves better!!
Very true. Thank you
I find sharing ourselves with others helps light the world. Today is a new day and we can set our intention to positive thoughts.
Thanks Jim. Could it also be said that trying to block, hide, or resist feelings cuts also separates me? Not only from “me” but from others?
Also, I am understanding that non-judgmental observing of one’s self is beneficial. I listen to some of your recordings daily.
That reminds of a joke a standup comedian said, “A friend of mine told me that practice makes perfect. But another friend told me that nobody’s perfect so I quit practicing”. — ok, not all THAT funny.
