Meditational Musings

 All love is self-love. All hate is self-hate. Everything is all part of the same whole. Personal perspective is an individual facet of the whole, not separate from it. 'We are the universe experiencing itself'. That means every individual perspective you encounter - person, animal, or otherwise - is a facet of you. Defiance and defense is a departure from the knowledge of all are one. ----- (expanding on the previous concept) All ways we treat 'others' (speaking from an individual perspective point of view) are how we treat ourself.

 the middle way : balancing love for self with love for others.  (balancing things like boundaries with things like compassion and understanding so that both can be had.)
