[andrei_says_]

I hear this as “allow yourself to see the other’s humanity and acknowledge their needs”.

I get it. The thing is, in some cases their humanity, their needs and beliefs have been carefully weaponized to support a certain ideology and hardened against change.

The ideologies using mass manipulation in this way are objectively exploitative and destructive on a large scale.

To the point of threatening our biosphere, our basic freedoms, our lives.

I do acknowledge the value of the inner practice.

The propaganda machines however work at scale.

If we are to survive, we need healing at scale, too.

We need self-awareness at scale. Seeing each other’s humanity at scale - to contradict the mass dehumanization efforts aiming to divide and conquer us.

Any thoughts on this?
