What speaks to me here is the sense that this is less about returning exactly to the same place but about arriving at a parallel point further along the spiral of humanity’s process. Thank you for giving me reason to pause and consider the weaving together of the freedom of individuality we’ve been given in this era with the reverence we’ve lost along the way here.

This is exactly what the term metaxy (which you introduced me too!) means to me Nate, namely the ability to unite seeming opposites into a higher synthesis--in this case the seeming opposites of a strong, individual self-consciousness with a luminous awareness of the sacred in other beings.
