How we see the world is path-dependent and cumulative. We are partly conscious of how the incoming waves of information get processed. Other things have soaked so deep they are just a part of who we are till we return to the dust. My own path started in a place where I believed in wrestling with the truth until I got it. One path that I just had to understand. Then my path crossed that of Yoga, where there is a belief that no one can understand, and we all have our own chosen Ishvara (the closest we can get to understanding). A path of tolerance. The paradox is how much do you tolerate intolerance? Put differently, how do you balance creating space for many paths with boundaries and red flags? Raising alarm when you see danger? Saying no firmly. Popping dangerous illusions. Allowing and empowering people to make their own decisions, and their own mistakes, while recognising that we all affect each other? Being agnostic about other views, but still supporting the viewer and learning from them. Creating and being a part of platforms for empowerment.
