 Shree,

Thoughts _come_ from a complex phenomenon of _becoming_.  In this phenomenon, 'i' am created (this engagement of memory of separation and connection and imagination) and i therefore imagine fear as well as transcendence. 

Fear is imagination and it keeps thoughts in a loop. Of course thoughts have degrees of immersions from obviously logical to laterally subtle and intangible and somewhere in between irrationally fearful. All these _get created in us_ (and _through_ us) and also make us.

This is important to realise because the problem or the effect of human imagination _is not unique_ to me and what sort of life I inherit. The problem can make billion different forms of life (called the individual "i"), but essentially the nature of problem is universal. And this understanding leads to empathy. 

Anger etc is not specific, it is a universal result of the problem human beings face. Human behaviour is not specific to a situation, it is universal form of being a human. What is present and what informs one's imagination _also informs_ mine. In that sense, no one is different - all is one mass of energy/ existence doing work or action . 

Yet this empathy needs to be felt...that one can still remain calm despite the forces that cause differences to be perceived. I need not highlight differences...the universal truth behind them is what I should know and become.

Hari Om.
