The journey of life is to experience life.
The purpose of experiencing is to understand ourself. And as we understand ourself, so the Universal Consciousness come to understand itself.
There is no separation between us as individuals and us as the ONE Consciousness.
The individual journey, however, allows for a greater number experiences to be had in a shorter space of time. Bear in mind that that short space of time is eons.
Why a shorter space of time? Simple! We are curious beings. We are at the smorgasbord of life and we are diving in with abandon!
Now … some experiences will feel good and some not so good. Through this we develop preferences.
Some people like chilli hot food. Some don’t. Some life sweet food. Some don’t. Some like playing tennis. Some don’t. It really does not matter. We are not here to have the same experience.
There are many difficult times in life. That, too, is part of the human experience. The only place that solace can be found is in knowing that the life of our Essence, our Soul, is eternal. We come together, we play the game of life, we die, we meet up again as Souls, wherever Souls go after the physical lifetime ends, and we have some laughs, some deep conversations, some time to just hang out together. We never lose anyone.
There will come a time in the far future when all of life will come back into the ONE as the ONE, and it will all be ended … only to begin again. It is the great inbreath and then the great outbreath all over again.
No one will force you to come back, so don’t get depressed about that. You will not even exists as this person that you think you are, for the ONE is the ONE and there is no separate identities within that. All of your collective experiences became a part of the ONE with the great merging, the great inbreath. I guess you can think of the great outbreath as a fresh blank slate upon which to write your deepest dreams, when you become a ‘you’ again. There is, in truth, no separation between you and anything in existence. It’s all you, it’s all ONE.
In this lifetime that you are living right now … just try to be kind. To yourself as well as others. Be kind. Be patient. Do not hide your heart from the world. LOVE the world. Do not hold to past traumas, as they were moments in time strung together that do not have to be the chain that weighs you down.
Some people hold tight to their trauma, and will not let it go … and so they stay in that. Others accept that it has been a part of their journey, and they take what silver lining they can from it, be it strength, clarity, or learning how to forgive, and then move forth, because this very moment is the only moment that exists. And in this single moment you can make a choice: love or fear.
The state of the world is not your responsibility. YOU are your responsibility. So take care of you. In doing that you are affecting the world … you see … it is the inward journey that affects the outer journey. It is your ability to love yourself that affects the love in the world. It is your ability to sit in peace in your own silence that brings peace to the outer world.
All of the problems of the world are merely calling for the solutions. And the solutions are all the same: love.
That is the path we can choose to walk … or not.
