Why is that?

It is very much like each and every person is their OWN reality....which is different from any other reality. I know the general idea is that there is only ONE reality or God of which we are all part; but my experience seems to indicate otherwise. Literally everyone I meet and get acquainted with is different from anyone else.

Finding any similarity or agreement is a rare occurrence. My suspicion is that everyone is a unique reality within themselves.......

Honza, hello there. I agree each person comprises a unique perspective on reality. At the point of maximum individuation (like here in our incarnated existence), there is an infinity of perspective. This is not a bad thing, so long as there is overlap or recognition of the worth and parity of everyone else's right to be (and to have their own perspective).

There's something else, as well. Although in our incarnated experience of individuated consciousness, we cannot maintain Oneness or merging into Oneness for long, nonetheless it is possible to share soul space with others. Depending on resonance or closeness and on mutual agreement. Easier with some than with others but possible and deeply affirming.

This doesn't mean they'll agree with you on everything (or anything in particular), necessarily. Though with some there is a deep closeness and much deep commonality or resonance. But it always means that you are loved and accepted as you are. In the truest sense of agape. And IMO you will find that you feel the same thing.

So if we all can agree on the basic worth and right of each one of us to our own highest good (to exist and to self-actualise and to be and do and speak our truth) whilst also actively seeking and supporting the highest good of others equally to our own selves....then IMO we'll find the core commonalities will begin to emerge much more strongly.

And all the misdirection, biases, prejudices, and hatreds will begin to fall away more sharply. These are the core disagreements which give rise to all others. And first and foremost they seem to involve the most basic hatred, which is the denial of others' right both to exist and to be recognised as fully human as we are.

Peace & blessings
