The mystery that perplexes me the most...

[anagogy]

I felt separation because it was my mom who attempted to shoplift, and got caught in the store. I was with her, so I saw an argument break out between her and the store manager. The manager also came down on me. She's done it before because she can't afford very much on her limited income. I have no choice but to be with her, since I'm her ride. I ended up having to pay for the merchandise.

It is separation because I don't feel the same about shoplifting as she does. She's willing to do it, I am not. So I desired unity that I would be surrounded by people who see the same way that I do. But there is variety in human expression, so they wouldn't have to be exactly like me. In either case we've both learned our lesson and it won't happen again. I'll confront her next time she decides to try that.

I can see how that would be a very stressful situation. I've been in similar situations, and you have my condolences.

The best way I've found to manifest or attract the reflection or experience of unity in day to day life is to continuously find aspects of other individuals that are similar to me. It is kind of similar to Ra's process of seeing the Creator in yourself, and others, at all times. When you notice these details of others, they become a more dominant vibrational offering within you, and it naturally attracts people that think similarly to you, and also brings out those aspects in people you didn't previously think saw similarly to you. It tends to pave the way for harmony.

Best of luck.
