We Are All One: A Message From the Universe

Spiritual and practical guidance for the week ahead, or whenever you happen to see this 🙂

Today’s Message From the Universe reminds us that we are all one.

It’s not an easy thing to remember in such times, when we are constantly faced with those who seem to have no care for their fellow humans, and far worse. How can I – a loving and empathetic human – have anything in common with that?

When we realize that such people are acting from insecurity, fear, and loneliness, we might be able to understand a little more and maybe pity them for lacking that which truly makes life worth living. This is not to excuse their actions, squelch your anger, or erase your boundaries.

The purpose of this exercise is to bring a little perspective that is severely lacking at this time.

Gaining such a perspective not only helps us to act and interact in a way that is more likely to bring about the change we desire, it also helps us to maintain our sanity and hope when everything happening around us feels cruel and hopeless.

Social media is an excellent example of a place where such a perspective is desperately needed. It’s well-known that there are entities whose entire purpose in these spaces is to stir up anger and fear and create division. If you have never been upset by the cruelty of a seemingly heartless person on the internet, then you are leagues ahead of the rest of us!

Notice I said “ahead,” not “better.” Such things are researched and deployed like top-tier war tech, because that’s exactly what they are. This is psychological warfare at its finest!

Maybe that heartless stranger was a bot, or maybe he was just some guy who was acting from the narrative he believes because that’s what he lives. Maybe that narrative was clearly wrong, even inhumane. Does he deserve a good tongue-lashing and more? Probably. Is it helpful, though? Almost certainly not.

Maybe you can’t or shouldn’t ignore what you just read, but your approach absolutely makes a difference. Will your perfectly planned-out response with this enlightened perspective make this person (if it is a person) see the error of their ways? It’s not likely, but anything’s possible!

The real magic happens within you and in others who may read your response.

Instead of allowing this awfulness to trigger a big verbal battle where everyone is just trying to wound the other, you’ve just dropped a bit of love into the comments, allowing others to find that love as well.

Most of all, you will feel much better after such a response than you will if you allow yourself to engage in the fear and hate-based battle that all of our media tries to keep us immersed in.

I still maintain that you should heavily limit your intake of such things, but I also do not believe that we should be turning a blind eye to what’s going on in the world.

We were not meant to carry the weight of the world, but I do think we were meant to see it so we can create the real change that is not only needed but destined.

Just because our systems have always been built by and supportive of the basest of our nature, does not mean that’s the way it always has to be. We are meant to create a new (old), more harmonic way of existing on this planet, with each other and the rest of nature – and we’re already doing it, even if it’s hard to see.

Yes, systems must fall and be dismantled, but I think that will happen a lot faster and more naturally if we focus more of our efforts on the systems we want to create (are creating). Remove what energy we can from that which is meant to inflame and entities that contribute to this dystopian setup, and pour it into building and connecting.

This does not mean you shouldn’t be angry or try to topple oppressive systems, either. Without the anger and despair we feel in the face of such things, it would be impossible to motivate the number of people necessary to initiate needed change. The difference is focusing that emotion in a productive manner.

I am reminded of protests here in the US over recent years. Just anger and fear, no demands, no real focus on solutions, just a whole lot of venting…on the surface.

What is really happening is community-building; we’ve just become quite rusty at it. If we could get a little better at this community thing and add strategy to the mix, we could truly place the power in the hands of the people – and I’m not just talking about my own country here.

There have always been far more in a collective of people than those who rule or oppress them, and now we can all communicate with each other in ways we have never been able.

The whole idea behind being the change you want to see in the world…

The more you love, build, and connect, the more people who are exposed to you will see that another way of existing is possible.

That’s the key, because most people just don’t believe that life can be any different from what they have experienced. Some may even double down on their dickishness in the face of kindness because they believe they don’t deserve it or think there is something sinister beneath it.

However, it’s a little different when they’re consistently exposed to it!

Don’t worry too much about the outcome of a particular person because you only have control over your own actions. Just be that kind, loving, and helpful person you are, and the rest will take care of itself!

As always, I must remind you that small gestures can make ripples as profound and far-reaching as big events. You are not too small, and your resources are not too scarce to show up in this world with love and light.

A kind word can change the trajectory of a person’s life, so too can a cruel one. Choose to be kind, especially when it’s hard.
