So much of my reading just now keeps leading me to the aspects of personality 
which is what gives us all the trouble. Much of the advise given today is of 
a nature that keeps us focussed on the personality (ego) rather than try to 
connect with our individuality (Ego). It is my ego that gets frustrated where 
as my Ego just looks on and says nothing because I am not listening in that 
direction. It is ego that keeps the karma going, either sort, it doesn't 
matter. The whole rationale of being here on earth seems to be to learn 
selflessness, self-discipline etc, and that seems to mean persuading the ego 
to become the vehicle for the Ego and so live life with wisdom. All the 
events that come up every day seem geared to make us take notice and learn a 
different way of dealing with them. When we live from the Ego then divisive 
issues just aren't there because we see the wholeness of everything and we 
let others be what they are because we no longer relate to them as separate 
from us. Take an impersonal view of the issues and see what happens to them 
then.
That is the ideal but I guess we are at least trying by being theosophists.
