I'm curious, Torilink, do these children exist in your reality? That sounds like I'm trolling, but I assure you it's an honest question. |
Jipp, I understand what you are saying.
If someone lived in a small village, perhaps, their awareness would be restricted to whatever was happening in that village.
But now, in the 21st century, the world is one big village and we are aware of the plight of others via the media and one's awareness expands.
If you are still in your little village, with no TV, that's fine.
But, if you have been made aware of the plight of others around the world, then try to shut it out, that it is not happening, and construct cotton wool buffers of SR to shield yourself from the possibility that others may exist, then you are denying what you are truly aware of, and who you truly are.
I really can't understand why some posters say that they are God, that they are pure consciousness and yet shut out the reality of others, who share the same consciousness, and don't feel a scrap of compassion for them.
That is New Age belief at its most foul extreme: there is only me, no-one else exists.
I have noticed that these subscribers to SR never speak about love or compassion, sharing or giving. It is all about me, me, me.
