I can appreciate all of this, and like everything, it may just come down to semantics. I do not see a contradiction, as experiencing emotion does not require belief, but belief (in my opinion) requires an emotional component).
Intuition is an emotionally charged experience. Our soul is emotion, and emotion is the differentiator between one soul and another. Whether all souls are part of one soul (or merely facets or expressions of one soul) or not isn't much of a question, because at least in this plane of existence, they are differentiated (separated) by emotion.
I cannot feel what anyone else is feeling. My feelings may be similar, but cannot be identical.
From that simple differentiation, everything else becomes differentiated. I do not see exactly what anyone else sees; I do not believe what everyone else believes... because sensory input, beliefs, all of it has an emotional component.
Understanding this has allowed me to love harder than ever before, because I am loving the other for their otherness, rather than for similarities or congruities.
Fear is an emotional response to the unknown. As I believe all emotions are true and valid, I would say that fear is true and valid. How we come to use that emotion may often be irrational though.
I embrace the Vedic construct of all matter being one, and formed as expressions of our souls.
I think we have arrived at very similar places in view. Good to find someone that at least works to understand themselves.
