Regarding a person’s “essence”; how I relate to “another”: My guiding inner-sense [aka, discernment], based on 4 understandings.

(1) younger souls (2) older souls (3) assouls (4) no souls.

None of these are unique to a person’s “colour”, “race”, “gender”, or their spiritual-religious beliefs and/or cultural upbringing, but all to do with how they live and “relate to “others”.

Sadly there seems to be a predominance of “assouls” & a growing number of “no souls” in our political and social groups and movements, as well as our suburbs, families, and communities throughout the population, whether they be they local, national, or globally.

Addendum: (1) narcissists [sounds like, nasty-cysts], implicit trait in “assouls”. (2) psychopathy implicit within the “no souls” categories.
