Yes, he does, and his choice is valid for himself. He does, however, want unity by his own definition of it, based upon his own belief system. Being open to your own imbalances is the key to turning them around, so you're already on the right track.

Indeed, a great observation. I found this out the hard way also :¬)
Quote:And yet finding center can be one of the hardest tasks, because their are so many options and so many energies to balance, so many loves to balance and center. Love of family, and love of friends, love of community, love of children, love of self.
Those many loves are but fragments of one. Loving the Creator/Source/All That Is.

It's hard! Circumstances that illicit the powerful emotional response are those that clearly highlight powerful imbalances. The ego is not easily controlled, and only true Masters can remain in a place of love in any situation. Don't be hard on yourself, it's part of the process :¬)
