From the article:
Its not uncommon to hear people in these spaces make the case for this work by simply saying, Were all the same.
I realize people mean well with this truism, and I understand what theyre trying to say. But I dont think it accomplishes what they want it to.....
In the spirit of sharing, I want to offer a window into the unique logic of Sikh wisdom, which I believe offers us a model for thinking about diversity in a way that is substantive and powerful.

Christianity teaches that we are all related because we all have a soul originating from the same source. The parables teach reincarnation, so all the souls may be at different levels of spiritual development depending upon how one has lived one's lives. Christianity does not teach that the source god is the earth creator god, so the spiritual level of earth creation would not be of the same quality as the spiritual energy level of the source god domain. Once the parables are understood, Christianity presents an easy to understand god system which explains lots.

René Déscartes.
Any life form literally"is", but that makes no claim to sentience. Déscartes recognized that our sentience makes humans what we truly are.
