Seek union over separation"Beliefs separate. Loving thoughts unite." -- Paul Ferrini Our ego focuses on how we are different from the rest of the world. Our soul lives when we experience how we are the same. Any time you separate yourself from other people or from situations, you know your personality is in control. At such times, shift your perspective to build connection and you will move into soul. As our picture of life becomes larger, more things make sense and we have a greater playing field for life to unfold - naturally. "As a holistic being you shatter the illusion of your separateness and reveal your connection to everything. This empowers you in a way that the ego-driven self could never contemplate." -- Wayne Dyer IP: Logged |

How would this relate to peer pressure and conformity?In general, doing what others say you should do, dress as they say you should dress, parrot what others say you should parrot, imitate the habits that others say you should imitate is seeking union over separation. OTOH, this is almost always leads to exclusion of anyone who doesn't take part in the collective anthill, and sometimes downright brutal, even deadly, to those who seek to do their own thing rather than join in the social union. Which means that those in "union" with each other are seeking to separate those who do not conform or become united with the crowd. IP: Logged |

I would also say that is ego in the driver's seat.Seeking a deeper connection in our humane ways. Those that make us all human; our struggles, crosses and our triumphs. Ways that you can connect with another and relate. IP: Logged |
