““We find common bonds in the shared details of the human journey,
not in the divergent conclusions we draw from those details.”

Over the last few weeks, we've been sharing insights about awareness and we used Rupert Spira's interpretation of awareness as a framework. He considers awareness or "knowing" as being that "in which all experience appears, with which all experience is known and out of which all experience is made." Many traditions also tell us that this field of knowing is shared by all of us. This seems an important understanding. As the quote above suggests, focusing more on the shared field of awareness than the "divergent conclusions we draw" provides an opening of the heart from which compassion, love and joy naturally arise. It seems then that the intersection between our personal search for "wholeness" and the understanding of shared "oneness" remains a fruitful and skillful investigation.
