There we are collectively connected and sharing impulses. But what we make of these impulses can be hugely different in different individuals. We cannot generally decide our emotional reactions. But there are huge differences between us how we perceive them and what we do with them. It is partly an individual learning process and partly culturally conditioned. This learning is very important, because it determines how, and to accomplish what, we use our intellect for. According to my experience the fruits of this learning you take with you from one incarnation to another. In that sense there are individuals. Even MMY:s efforts to enlighten the humanity falls apart without individuals, who can make choices. Why is he so much blaming those who don't want to co-operate with him, if there are no separate individuals. Just puppets playing their roles. Although in primitive societies this is still more the case, as also it has been in ancient times.
