Thanks for your viewpoint, Open. Trinity, it's this that discombobulating me. If distortion or separation from the One manifests as disease, disability, or injury, does it follow that these conditions will disappear once the distortion is processed and the "I" knows itself as the "One"? It's my sense that it's possible to feel as the "One" and still remain in an imperfect body in a particular lifetime. From Open I'm getting that it's possible to process karma around physical disability, for example, and feel as the One, but the soul may have to wait until another incarnation to manifest in a whole body without physical disability. Trinity, you mention you had past lives where you were completely broken mentally and physically but transcended the "I" and felt yourself as the One. Did you manifest a different body in those lifetimes, or did you wait until another incarnation to manifest a whole body?
