Wow, what a thoughtful post. I love your weaving of ideas and metaphors.

“Truth is a feeling.” How powerful! And I feel like a deeper sense of the truth emerges from robust dialogue outside of our echo chambers. The deeper the willingness to integrate the larger whole, the closer we get to truth. Yet it’s hard to do this when the structures and systems we participate in discourage this higher consciousness that wants to emerge.

I also feel like truth comes when we’re emotionally regulated, which feels aligned with you feeling truth as a feeling! If we’re stuck in our heads, reactive, fearful and defensive… it’s easy to polarize and close down without even being aware of it.

Thank you for the excellent food for thought!
