Enlightenment has nothing to do with other people, if you don’t want it to. It has everything to do with your inner self and your connection with the earth.
You don’t have to have unconditional love for absolutely every person that you come across, it doesn’t hurt if you can honestly do it, but you don’t need it. How close my soul is in touch with the earth is what I believe. The Gaia theory is a fine example of our connection with the earth. Everything is connected in one main stream of life, always rotating always shifting. Meditation, yoga, martial art practices are all form of helping us get back in touch the beat of life that flows through us and into the earth.
The earth has a rhythm that it works at. It speeds up and slows down but it stays at the same consistent tempo. This tempo is the same tempo that runs in our hearts, makes our steps to walk, our fingers to type, every movement for everyday activity. Cars, computers, stress, work , are unnatural. They’re actions that we created to suit our economy. Run different rhythms then nature intended.
Thats why these days people need more meditation, more focus to get back in touch with the earth. Each person is like a hair on an arm coexisting with each other through our roots in the arm. yet still completely independent interms of work and individuality. It helps a lot to get along with each other but its most important to be one with the earth and rhythm of Gaia.
