The idea that everything is connected and works as one, is an age old idea. It’s generally split up into two parts, the microcosm and macrocosm. Does two parts imply the other is different? A closer look reveals the microcosm to be a mirrored image of the macrocosm on a smaller scale to dissect and understand. Differentiating leans heavily towards the idea, we are on our own, and so is everything else. So which is it, are we one with life, or are we separate? I guess that depends on who you ask. Luckily for us, we don’t determine that. Reality exists as it is no matter what we think. But what we think does affect our experience in life. By enlarge, most see everything as separate. Segregating ourselves from the flow of life puts us in a position of authorship, rather than a part of creation. And this in turn creates the feeling of being unsupported by life. Fear, instead of trust consumes and makes life seem difficult and foreign. This mindset will be reflected as a chaotic life experience, to the level of your need to be separate, “to stand out”. Standing out is the theme for most of humanity and we are all conditioned to feel the need for specialness.
But is it a true need, or is it just the effect of a deeply held belief? From a purely logical standpoint, the need to be special would imply that we don’t feel special. That some how we are lacking and need to prove otherwise. If that’s true, then why? Why is a child so joyous and free and slowly becomes driven to be more? The expression, “the innocence of a child” is a clear look at the deeper truth. The innocence of a child yields the joyous wonder they display. Playful and void of judgment, they inspire us to see what life is meant to be. As little children, we are meant to be, yet here we are, reaching for what was lost. What changed? How can an innocent child full of joy become something that’s not good enough? Well, the fact is we can’t, but we can surely believe we have, and we do. This seed of doubt is planted early in life, and it slowly overshadows our natural feeling of ease. It’s this feeling of unease that drives us. Thinking that somehow being more, we will regain this feeling of home.
Where is home? Home is the deep connection within. The roots in this connection reveal a stable feeling of ease. Home at last, sings a heart set free. It’s this, that we all search for. Hidden at the core of needing, is a cry for home. Swept up in the misguided belief the world can give this freedom, is the cycle of disfunction. What could possibly sever this connection? In truth, nothing. In our experience, it’s hidden by a lack of awareness. Ignorance steers this ship, by way of false belief. Within each one of us shines the pure light of innocence. Not earned, but given, not accomplished, but created, and not conditional. Our awareness of this fact, does have conditions though. Lay no judgment upon yourself. No labels of more than, or less. Releasing this judgment restores the natural connection within. This intern is reflected without, as a unifying experience. Life is seen as synchronistic and supportive. Trust reveals a mirrored response, and intuition leads the way. An open mind and a willing heart will find support to this cause. Reestablishing awareness of our inner beauty, reveals the reality of oneness. The drive we feel to escape, is the burn we feel from self-judgment. We can’t escape it, we can only let it go. It has no reality, only our belief supports it. Life will support your every move. Pour your heart into a willingness for freedom, and you will see through the eye’s of a child once more. ” Awareness dawns in the hearts of the willing, and infinite potential colors the horizon that time will never touch”…
