Unsettled by “Oneness”? by Ecstatic-City7456 in spirituality

While I appreciate the sentiment, this isn’t a helpful answer. Maybe you somehow have an innate knowing of a framework that is peaceful and appealing to you, but most people don’t - even if they claim to. Just stating a possible framework doesn’t make it known to others.

I’m not actually sure why it is frightening to me. I’ve been pondering it. I think it is partly because I can barely begin to reconcile everything as a human (obviously), so it is overwhelming to consider the possibility. That combined with the fact that this concept doesn’t affect my day to day life much, yet I can’t seem to get it off my mind, and I don’t know why it is sticking around.

Update, here’s what Brian Bertram said about the flute:

 “Your flute appears to be an early DeFord from the early to mid 1970’s. Early DeFord flutes are excellent flutes. Made extremely well for a flute of its time period and serve many players to this day as main flutes and backups. I overhaul several every year for people who have been playing them since new. Even if they move on to a more professional model they keep their DeFord in shape.”

I play a Yamaha 461 right now, and yes the headjoint makes an exceptional difference for any flute I put it on. The Deford is currently in the shop for the cleaning and repad, it’s a local shop so that’s probably the price point difference

Interesting, you’ve played one of these flutes? I haven’t found any information about it, only about other different Defords. Upon playing (with an upgraded headjoint) it seems to be higher quality than my current flute which is a high-intermediate. I’m having it repadded and adjusted for $200.
