Dear Eric, thank you for reading and for taking the time to write these beautiful words. I can really *feel* this: “to see the parcels melded with the liberation from their inherent mandates arcs to liberty…”

It’s not a small question, what is the soul…within this domain…but it brings me to essence, to Atman, to the sambhogakaya, to the changeless, eternal subtle self-ness that is the individualized perspective/experience…the point of view of the single drop of water within the ocean…which is so precious and unique and important to the whole and also…insignificant in a way. Now, we get into the realm of paradox: how can something be wholly insignificant and everything at once? I think your question wasn’t posed to be answered actually…just musing. Thanks for engaging. Let’s keep pondering.
