It is not enough to seek and care; to pay lip service to all manner of ideals. Real witness is what counts. It is something to do with leaps in the dark. Recognizing that Truth is hidden. But transformation towards truth is something else. It is practice and diligence.
... the part that I worry about is that most people live on the level of the self and not the level of the soul, which is the costume of personality over the soul. It's what the self is... It's the performance of personhood, not the essence of personhood.
And today most people lead with identities and opinions, which I think are the least interesting, least true parts of people, because they're the most mutable and the least anchored in what you call the soul.
