Stop Dividing: Honoring the Truth in Every Experience
Have you noticed how loudly people share their opinions lately? Not as perspectives—but as absolute truth.
You’ll hear it on the news. On social media. In conversations with friends and family. It’s a pattern: the louder someone yells their view, the more they seem to believe it’s the only one that matters.
I say this with love because... I used to do it too.
But here’s what I’ve learned from life, from motherhood, from healing work, and from yoga:
Everyone’s “truth” is shaped by their own experience.
And experience, by its very nature, is personal. It’s filtered through your nervous system, your past, your trauma, your joy, your beliefs, your environment. So of course we’re all going to see the world differently.
Opinions Aren’t Facts
We live in a world where opinions are packaged as facts, especially in media and politics. You’re either left or right. You either believe this or that. You're either “awake” or you're “brainwashed.” This black-and-white thinking is a form of spiritual immaturity. It's fear disguised as certainty.
It creates division. And division leads us away from our spiritual essence—which is unity.
The Yoga of Perspective
One of the most transformative lessons I learned through yoga wasn’t about the poses—it was about the space between them.
In those transitions, you learn presence. You learn to witness your reactions. You learn to release judgment. And that same principle applies to life:
Can you hold space for someone else’s truth without needing to change it?
Because when someone shares their truth, it doesn’t erase yours. It doesn't compete.
It just exists.
And it belongs to them.
Everyone’s Path is a Little Skewed
Here’s the thing: no one has a crystal-clear view of “reality.”
We all see the world through a slightly distorted lens—based on our childhood, our wounds, our healing, and the information we’ve been exposed to. So naturally, we’re going to bump into people who think completely differently.
And if they watch different news sources, follow different leaders, or believe in different systems—of course it’s going to feel like you're speaking different languages.
But that doesn’t make them evil. It makes them human.
Unity Consciousness Isn’t Just a Hashtag
Spirituality isn’t about being “right.” It’s about being present.
It’s about recognizing that underneath all our differences, we are one. That unity is our natural state—but we’ve been trained to forget it.
The more we try to force people to believe what we believe, the more we fall into the trap of division.
Instead, what if we just let people be?
Let them have their experiences. Let them share their perspectives. Let them find their truth.
And in the meantime, come back to yours.
Not the version shaped by fear or noise—but the quiet knowing that lives deep inside.
So What Do You Do When Someone “Feels Wrong”?
Let them be.
Breathe.
Pull your energy inward.
Ask: Why does this trigger me? What truth of mine is being questioned?
Then respond with presence instead of reaction.
Because peace doesn’t come from changing the world around you. It comes from healing the world within you.
Final Reflection:
Everyone’s reality is filtered through their own life. That means even the “wrong” ones are still valid to the person experiencing them. So let’s stop dividing.
Let’s honor different truths.
Let’s return to our center and lead from there.
That’s unity consciousness. That’s healing. That’s the work.
Much love,
