As far as I'm concerned, nobody should get removed! Differences in opinion
are what challenge us, help us learn, grow, heal, define ourselves and our
work, etc, etc. These lists would be completely lifeless without them.
Where it all seems to go majorly belly-up is when the mirrors we each
present to each other don't get perceived for what they are. We reject the
reflection and make the mirror "responsible", rather than ourselves, thereby
effectively disempowering ourselves, reinforcing the polarity, and
continuing to perpetuate the problem.
We do it when we hang our self-worth on our opinions, and react to a
challenge as if it were a personal attack. We do it when we go after the
Heilkunstlers (who seem to believe they have the one true Path in
homeopathy) like a rabid dog, and by doing so, avoid perceiving that our
attachment to our own one true Path is unhealthy ...
)We are all One, yet we are all unique in our infinite diversity. There is
only One Truth, yet we all have our own unique perspective on it. We have so
many wonderful things to learn from each other -- just imagine what we could
see if we put all those perspectives together instead of vying for the
supremacy of our own!
And if we want to avoid the spats, we should perhaps just all try to be a
little bit more aware of when we're looking in a mirror ...
My two units-of-a-currency-of-your-choice worth anyway.
Regards
Wendy
