Evolution Resolutions

Dec 28, 2018

The news hasn’t been very uplifting, of late. Everyone’s angry. The world is divided. The latest climate reports are dire. And no one seems to be doing anything to make anything better. Mostly, I think, because it’s hard to know what to do.

What power does one little individual being have among 7.7 billion?

All of it

That’s the part we forget when we feel helpless to change the world. We forget that there’s no such thing as one individual powerless being. Think of us as cells in a body. We know that our bodies contain about 37.2 trillion cells at any given moment. Every cell in our body is an individual. It is born, it lives, it reproduces, it dies. But the body lives on.

We are cells in a greater body. But the greater body of which we are a part isn’t a physical one. It’s consciousness itself.

We are one...

We hear it all the time. We are one. But what does that really mean?

It means that each of us is part of the same greater Whole. It means that any one of us can tap into the power of All of Us. It means that everything we do to anyone, we do to Everyone. It means that we are far more important than we’ve ever realized, and it means that we are never, ever powerless.

What it means

So I can’t hate one without hating All. I can’t be angry with one without being angry at All. I cannot wish ill for one without wishing ill for All.

It means the labels we place on each other are lies. There’s no real difference between a Republican and a Democrat and every other party, between a Christian and a Muslim and every other religion, between a male and a female and every other gender, between an American and an Iranian and every other nationality, between criminals and judges and everyone in between.

Practical application

What difference can knowing this make? Well it depends on us. How real do we believe this truth to be? Is it just something we say, or is it something we consciously try to incorporate into our lives?

If we’re One…

There’s never any reason to feel greed. We take care of ourselves by taking care of each other. So we give and share freely.
There’s never a need for loneliness. We can close our eyes and tap into the hearts and minds of All.
There’s never a need for grieving, because death is a lie we’ve now seen through. Everyone who ever lived still lives, and when we “imagine” their voice and face and reactions in our minds, or when we “dream” of them while we sleep, that’s not pretend. That’s not false. That’s real communication with them. They never stopped living. (There’s a lot more on this in The Bliss Book.)
There’s never a need for competition, because when anyone wins, Everyone wins.
There’s never a need for violence, and there’s never a need for war.
There’s never a need to shout at our children or argue with our partners or send hate mail to our leaders or be rude to anyone. Ever.

What about everyone else?

I know the first thought most have is Sure, I can try to live this way, but what about everyone else?

The answer is the same. We’re all One. Some might be walking around the planet unaware of that, and continuing their same old behavior. But we can’t change them from here. We can only reach them through the Higher Self, through the Whole. And when we open ourselves to that Whole, we light up. Love flows to us and through us, and from us and out to All. We can love. We can live our lives knowing we’re One, and acting that way. And honestly, that’s more powerful than any action we could possibly take.

Our wish for those still sleeping can’t be that they fail, but rather, that they wake up too.

Many will wake during their physical lifetimes. Every day more and more of us humans are awakening to this higher knowing. We’re becoming aware of our Oneness, our connection. We’re plugging in to the Higher Mind we’ve called a million names: God. Jehovah. Adonai. Elohim. Yahweh. Allah. Isis. Astarte. Diana. Hecate. Demeter. Kali. Inanna. A million million more. The One mind, the One consciousness that is experiencing the physical world through the bodies and senses of every single one of us.

And those who don’t awaken to this understanding while in their physical bodies, will absolutely awaken to it when they leave their bodies behind. So we don’t need to worry about them and we don’t need to hate them. To be in tune with our Higher Power, we can only love them. The ripples of love that go out from us, increase and spread far and wide. They are real.
