Oneness Through Principles

John W. writes:
"I have studied many teachings, and have never found any that I couldn't take issue with. I teach Zen, Tantra, and Tao, and can take issue with all three, on many points, but that doesn't mean the other 99% isn't pure Gold. When I read The Immortal, it was put to the test. When I came here I studied every post in the archives, before making a decision, yet all through them I already knew what that decision was going to be. It had already been made for me!"

I smiled when I read this. Before John posted anything on this list he not only read The Immortal, but poured through all 500+ of my postings from Samu's Web site (By the way, good to see you posting again Samu.)

Every hundred or so postings he read, he wrote me some of his comments and questions. I noticed that the thing that bothered him the most was that he could find nothing to disagree with. Finally he found something, but I wrote back pointing out that we did not disagree after all. He felt justifiably disturbed at reading through so much and agreeing all the time, but such is the world of the soul. When two or more tap in to it they become one in seeing how the principles play out.

One may like red and the other yellow as their favorite color but they will see eye to eye as far as principles are understood.

I know there are others like John that look towards principles rather than facts and in principles reflected from the soul within there lies oneness - the key to the next great step forward.
