“There is in us an instinct for newness, for renewal, for a liberation of creative power.
We seek to awaken in ourselves a force which really changes our lives from within. And yet the same instinct tells us that this change is a recovery of that which is deepest, most original, most personal in ourselves.
To be born again is not to become somebody else, but to become ourselves.”
~ Thomas Merton
We are all one, even though the world doesn’t always reflect that truth. So much divisiveness and lack of human kindness because of mindsets.

Yes, and the world continues to seek difference, purportedly to make sense of them… and failing at times to acknowledge the sense-making from our own conditioned filters.

Interesting words, “own conditioned filters” and so true. All in the eyes of the perceiver.
