Conviction by feeling is not always so vague as it seems. Some of the things to which man clings, calling them felt truths, are so called only because he is not able to adduce tangible proofs to their reality. But frequently, if he applies himself to a thorough examination of all the concrete and theoretical testimonies by which he has persuaded himself to believe certain things, he finds that subconsciously he has really accumulated quite solid structures of logical justification. Intelligence often later supplies proofs of what intuition has long since suspected and proposed

The Circle of Humanity may have evolved over the centuries through reincarnations and each member of these circles may indeed be neurons in a vast Central Nervous System covering aeons of time and space. One can sense another member of one’s circle by the profound recognition and safety, one feels in their presence. It is as if we knew them before but logically attest to never having met them in this lifetime. Another indication of being in the presence of fellow circle members is the quality of silence and beingness that is shared. It’s almost as if you’ve known each other a long time and have already passed through the phases of personal expectation, heartbreak and disillusionment that usually mark the beginning of many relationships. There is a feeling of not having to prove anything or become anybody. There is a shared peace of mind.
