Yes, especially the *belief* or mindset in a separate 'me' that needs to be protected - guilty :) It's such ingrained conditioning! Although this one is unraveling a bit - which is a bit messy. And, "living in the messiness of life." It seems I am steeping in the messiness of life a lot these days, which is really stirring the pot! <br /><br />With gratitude for your offering here...<br />ChristineMystic Meanderinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09746429719911446865noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8905400852427551541.post-34197416537820505722009-08-12T09:37:24.071-06:002009-08-12T09:37:24.071-06:00Ah such good things to ponder.

One of the interesting things to me when I think about "that which we construct to separate" is that firstly we do it as some form of protection, keeping our little world as we would like it. And the second one is the irony that the very thing we construct to protect ourselves is what then separates us and create feelings of isolation and suffering. I think this must be because as you point out, we are not separate. It is an illusion. So we base our self protection (fences and mindset) on a non truth. While trying to protect ourselves we screen out the very things that could produce joy and fulfillment (I'm thinking community and human contact here, living in the full richness and messiness of life, which we are mostly afraid to do)ZenDotStudiohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06051368546505731081noreply@blogger.com
