As I am not a name and body self. The other name and body selves I described. Jeffrey Dahmer and Pot Pot are not real. So I don’t half to identify with them. When I can finally see and know that self I really am that’s so they really are Will be clear to me also. Until then I don’t have to even try to identify or compare myself with other name and bodies. I try to live in the holy Instant where I am one with God and the universe and Christ. Christ is the one I try to identify with if Any. Thank you for adding some clarity to my post.
How can I feel oneness with a serial killer, or the gruesome dictator of the killing fields. I think they went by the names Jeffrey Dalmer and Pol Pot, but they are one with me. I don’t feel it. But I guess the life in them is the same life in all of us.
The name & body self (e.g. the name you’ve been “given”) will never feel oneness with anyone or anything, especially those we react strongly against. But keep in mind that the name & body you is not who this course is written for. The “you” on every page of the course is an aspect of mind that in each moment is choosing to align with the belief in separation - in which case the concept of “self” is projected out into a world of separation and bodies and drama and pain and guilt and fear. And you take on an identity with a name you’ve been given and experience all that a projection of guilt and fear has to “offer”. Or, the real you instead chooses to align with the remembrance of oneness - the realization that separation never happened, that in truth “it once was one, and still is what it was.” From this perspective, the entire sense of “self” shifts from an “I” that interacts with and contemplates “others” to an experience of oneness.

The life in a lion must be the same life in a lamb then.
