what if you cared about everyone equally?
would that throw your life into confusion?
nah, it doesn't. really and truly.
you come to learn more and more that all your ancestors are with you. . . your beloved aunt - always with you. . .
joy, sometimes even hidden joy, going back hundreds or many many many more hundreds of years,
it's all there - how else to say it.

I don't "love" everyone equally. I recognize that we are all connected and that we are all equal, though there are types of people that I personally dislike. Mostly pretentious, closed minded people who are heavily influenced by society. I might even mess with these people, or take advantage of them if they leave themselves open
Im in the process of questioning all that though... It seems that every spiritual practicer preaches that one must love all beings to achieve higher states.... I'm inclined to believe that that's not 100% true.
Judgement is natural. Acceptance is necessary. The goal is to recognize people as who they are, love them unconditionally (although not always love them all the way through), and accept their being. Basically loving them enough to not want to change them to fit your lifestyle.
At least that's what I think. I'm curious to see if I can achieve higher states without repressing natural (controlled) forms of anger, jealousy, and judgement (etc) but instead tuning them into healthy forms, because every one of those emotions(?) ARE natural, and ARE repressed in society and even more so by spirituals. I believe that one must embrace humanistic holarity to achieve a true higher state - although I have no evidence to back it up
eager to see what others thing (if others have anything they wanna say about this)

there are unlimited levels truly unlimited and boundless levels.
and they're all the same and there is unique beauty in every one of them. as ever, am very glad you are there glimpee 
sorry i normally talk about the post at hand sometiems i go ranndom an ya thanks for bumping this thread - with good and useful info - i can tell by what threads are associated with it
i didn't take a picture of it but those describe the events and world and everything. . . it's all so interesting you could talk about absolute randomness, absolute random topics, and it would still be an expression of the same thing. . .
just a different organizing principle. heh. 
everything is infinite and - hehhhh it's all
so lovely.
each is all so beautiful.
i guess that's what i come back to. . . peter tosh's way of expressing it.

in other words,
there is an element of randomness in everything, so why worry about anything?
randomness means cause and effect are only loosely connected,
but then we know that everything in the universe is connected, so by that higher form of cause and effect - that never shifts.
but it's not a direct correlation, between events and results, in the world,
everything is at best only loosely connected directly, and yet they are connected indirectly,
and perceiving that vast whole is what higher consciousness is about.

You can't literally care about everything equally. If you did, you'd be incapable of decision making. This is evident in patients who have had their ability to apply emotions to decision make due to brain damage. They become completely incapable of making decisions, because there is no way for them to predict what decisions will benefit them.

Perhaps and perhaps not. I'm not sure if any decisions affect an equal amount of parties equally. I agree with you in principle though and I think lessons like that are more metaphorical than literal - as is most spirituality. As a rational person I had to put literal meanings and closed minded rationality in a way while exploring spirituality. i dunno tho
I hadn't thought about randomness before, but as all things that are perceived, must exist to an extent. I'm curious as to if randomness to us is just deep connections past what we can perceive, like patterns beyond what we could know....
More grounded in reality, however, randomness is still perceived by humanity and thus must exist. Yet I would assume random occurrences are connected to relevant messages/ideas/etc. that may or may not be influenced by some part of the universal consciousness. I'll need to keep that idea in mind as I ponder, thanks
