Yes, you do. I couldn't put my finger on it like you did here:

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. |
There is still quite a bit that I don't understand or comprehend about my own consciousness. I am aware enough to know that I don't, and may never, have it all figured out. So I'm completely open to the idea of SR, but there's something that makes me queasy about it, and it's exactly what you wrote above.
It's great if the idea of SR empowers you to take action and make positive change in your life. For me, though, thinking this way makes me feel less human, and goes fundamentally against what I believe my higher purpose is: to serve others.
Proponents of SR, my guess is that you're thinking the only reason I see people who need me to help them is because I'm manifesting some sort of need to help myself? Please don't take this in the glib way I think it's coming across. I'd truly appreciate your opinion here.
