I believe the answer to separateness is not homogeneity; it is heterogeneity, intraconnection & interdependence.

I believe the answer to separateness is not homogeneity; it is heterogeneity, intraconnection & interdependence.

That might just be my vision statement, right there. 🤔

It can also be rephrased as: I believe that the path to peace lies not in homogeneity, but in heterogeneity, intraconnection & interdependence.

Oh, and why separateness? Because I believe that all harms and evils are born from the delusion of separateness.
