Hate, anger, grief: these separate you from the world as a whole, EXCEPT that if they are shared with others, they can bind you to them quite strongly. But necessarily there is then a Us and a World. There is a separation.
All of us need in my view to be principled concerned with our relation as in-dividuals, as undivided entities, as personalities and souls, with our relationship with God, with Pneuma, with spirit. This is where deep, lasting connection and joy are found. And sharing this connection does not create an us/world split, as God is everywhere, and the group mutable and spontaneously expressing this connection.
This occurred to me pondering Kum Nye Dancing versus Kum Nye itself. The former is an EXPRESSION of emotion, and necessarily if it is you contacting the world spontaneously, these are positive emotions. Kum Nye, is about contacting emotions and expanding them. They can be anything, and they are localized to you.
I think of the Tibetans sitting in caves for three years, three months, and 3 days. They are, ideally, in constant contact with soothing emotions, and primitive joys.
I had a lot of very spiritual dreams last night. It was good.
