No matter the label, the appearance, or the actions
You have a connection to all who cross your path.
Perceived differences are diminished by what you have in common,
The connection of love with all.
Dear One, the differences you perceive with others in this world are minimal when you reflect upon what you share with each other. Can you begin to focus upon what you have in common with others and begin there? Can you realize that love is still the bonding force, even though you may have disagreements in how you see this world? It begins with mutual respect, kindness and active listening.
All of you came here, to this physical existence, to experience a different way of being than which you are accustomed. Each and every one of you had the courage to embark on a journey that would encourage you to see yourself as separate, rather than being as one with all. Your choice was to come to this plane to learn lessons unattainable elsewhere.
As you move forward through this life, you are given opportunities to see yourself divinely connected with all, rather than separate and alone. The pace of this world encourages you to take everyone you meet at face value because you do not feel you have the time to delve deeper. You choose to not use that precious time of yours to listen with your heart, rather than with your mind. This results in pre-conceived notions of who that other person really is and what they really want from this world.
Can you take a breath and pause? Can you give others the attention required to move past the label or judgment, placed upon them by yourself or others? For if you allow yourself this opportunity you will begin to see how much you share in your lives.
Remember that one situation may evoke different emotions in each of you because of past experiences. Each of you came here to learn individual lessons. You came here with different traits, placed in different situations, to assist you in learning those lessons. But do not forget that any lessons learned by you as individuals also help the group consciousness move forward.
One individual life could not experience all of the lessons necessary for the expansion of the Universe. And so, each of you contributes in your own way, as you move through your individual lives. If you were to scratch beneath the surface of everyone’s life, you would find the same hopes and dreams for a life of peace and love. You would find the same yearning to feel ‘at one’ once again with all. You would see the same self-doubt, fear and worry that you have experienced.
Can you, instead of quickly attaching a label or preconceived notion on someone, can you instead, stop and listen to them; stop and see how similar you truly are? You all have been given free will to explore this life with all the possibilities it provides. And you all have learned lessons and have grown. The question we ask is if you have grown from that person you were just a day ago, why would not another have done the same?
Can you see each person anew each day, knowing that they are different today than they were yesterday? Can you realize that others have regrets of actions or words done in the past, just as you have? Can you see them as a being of light, challenged by this physical existence, trying to come back to center, to who they really are, just as you struggle with the feeling of being alone and separate.
Remember that each and every one of you has a deep memory of being one with all, and each of you are trying to find your way back to that wondrous feeling of being a part of something greater than yourself. Your journeys may be different, but your paths are the same; back to the Source. Your situations may be different, but you are the same; with different ideas, but with the same hopes for connection and peace.
Dear One, can you begin to look for the similarities rather than focus on the differences? Can you act with kindness and respect toward each other, rather than re-act with emotion seated in misunderstanding? Can you begin to join hands and hearts and consciously work together; for you already are working together on another level as kindred spirits experiencing this physical plane?
Take a breath.
Take a step back and change your perspective.
Change begins with you.
Open your heart, open your eyes and join each other on this journey of life.
Begin to understand why we call you
Dear One with All of Thee.
