That is the crux of it Sam and an important mantra to carry through life. The passing world is the circus show, the immortal soul is the observer sitting in the audience. Easy to lose the latter in the former.

According to the Vedic philosophy that I've read anything that creates fragmentation of the unified order is Maya, and therefore the 'me' 'mine' and 'my', whether kids, home, material wealth whatever. I remember hearing about how Native American tribes raised kids collectively as part of the commons, very different to how we do raise children in bubbles in todays competitive landscape. We are so much more effective when we collaborate than when we compete.

Looking forward to seeing you soon and catching up with all your innovation around farming, dowsing, electro-culture, pyramid's etc. What a ride its been for you!
