All are valuable and all belong.
There is no way to separate anything in existence from the intrinsic Truth of our shared Oneness.
It is only ignorance, delusional egoism, greed, hatred, clinging to bodily life (the 5 “poisons”) and other internal flaws that homo-sapiens create within themselves due to animal attachments and uncultivated minds/hearts that fabricates the sense of separation that excludes or puts “others” down (often blindly and idiotically).
People who maintain the illusion of total separation from others (different from understanding individual independence) often pretend that their illusions of division are “just the way things are” in order to perpetuate lies that polarize society to maintain orders that they benefit from (temporarily) in one way or another (even if it is just in the mild sense of benefiting by hiding from their animal fears attached to bodily existence). But, the Truth of our intrinsic connection, interconnectedness, and oneness stands uncorrupted by any and all human-animal delusion.
The only thing that comes from the ignorant perpetuation of illusory narratives of separation–specifically narratives that support exclusion, suppression, and marginalization for the sake of justifying any harm done to others (as is evident in the example of American, and other, societies where racism and sexism are pervasive, for example)–are ignorant Karmas that keep our species trapped in destructive patterns that bind individuals and groups to suffering (from environmental catastrophes, to violating human life to maintain false senses-of-identity).
Before you get confused about what we are discussing when we discuss belonging, however, I invite you to please take a look at the socially constructed world around you, where even tyrannical “leaders” are accepted and propped up to perpetuate suffering and destruction for masses of individuals, where serial killers and murderers are valorized with fan-clubs, where superficiality destroys the mental health of our youth, and where hatred is a casual part of the infrastructure of many “cultures,” and ask yourself if this is what you belong (or want to belong) to/in…
I bet that, if you are intelligent, with even a shred of decency and common sense, you would immediately say “no” to the suggestion that you belong to/in that type of destruction. And, with that “no,” you would certainly be right.
Always remember that you do not belong to illusions that maintain destruction and ignorance in the world…these things are not who you are, so never become engrossed or lost with/within this illusion. You only belong to that which is Real…You belong to existence itself that is uncorrupted/incorruptible by any and all illusions. The Light/Truth that created you, all of existence, and all things in existence, is the only thing that defines you and marks where (and to what) you belong.
Again, you belong to something greater than the illusions of this world.
And if your existence here in this temporary form creates only the clarity to know this Truth, you are free from the entrapments that keep most tied to the perpetual cycle of suffering that plagues humanity and this world.
