JANU: The sense of individuality seems to give purpose to existence. The sense of individuality is part of the incarnate experience due to the veil. The reason for this is focus and the evolution of life itself. The individual, so to speak, is motivated as the driving force for evolving. The True Nature and the monad are the evolving life principle throughout the creations occurring in the realms. The sense of individuality is a healthy vehicle to experience evolution.
The isolation of the veil allows for the assignment of failure and frustration as to the nature and actuality of these outcomes. But this is a limited perception. Allowing reality to unfold in a peaceful but committed manner allows for continuation.
See identity, then, as not so much a separation from the rest of life but as an expression of the Larger Life, the source of being. Namaste.
