It isn't really helpful, in my opinion, to state things in "absolute" terms. When doing so, it's like the mind has become so walled in that one feels squeezed, pressurized—at least that's the best I can do to describe it.
To me existence is a paradox in so many ways. On the one hand, there is the concept of "all is one." But however much that is true, the individual path will always be alone in a sense. No one else makes our decisions for us. No one else walks an individual's unique path—so in that sense we are all alone. I think this idea is part of a larger understanding and acceptance of personal responsibility. It is that acceptance and responsibility that is a starting point for another layer of evolution.
. . . Just thoughts that surfaced when reading some posts here.
