Theos-Talk Archives (July 2001 Message tt00168)

Dear Mic,

The difference is an illusion, like all appearance of separateness. 
Theosophy is about unity. But when the ideal becomes manifest in 
materiality, it suffers some fragmentation. The material plane 
cannot completely embody the ideal. We can overcome this 
fragmentation, if we wish, by exercise of consciousness. We can 
practice seeing the other point of view as well as our own, realizing 
that even opposite points of view can hold essential truth. We can 
concentrate on our similarities, instead of on our apparent 
differences. It seems that in our cycle of evolution, a lot depends 
upon our learning to see unity instead of separateness, and the re-
emergence of Theosophy into the thought plane of our race seems 
to be a paradigm for a bit of karma concerning Higher Love.
