I am crying. I am crying inside and outside. I am crying for all of us. How can we be so confused, so blind to the fact that we are all one people? When others suffer, we suffer. When our world suffers, we all suffer. We hurt ourselves in our forgetfulness. It doesn’t matter what colour, religion, or sexual orientation we have. It doesn’t matter if it is a person, an animal, a plant, the ocean. We are completely connected to all of it. When we harm another or our world we all feel it at the energetic level.
I am so ready for peace to surround us all. We glorify our own soldiers because they protect us. Yes, I honour that perception of service. But, we fail to look beneath this. At the core of this there is a very disturbing issue. We are still killing each other. We argue for the sake of the economy over the environment, despite how we have ravaged our beautiful Earth. What we don’t always see is that there is more than enough in this world for everyone if we just share it, value it, and treat its entirety with reverence.
What this world and all of humankind need now is a completely different paradigm, a conceptual shift to love and compassion. This may seem idealistic but it is the only way we will survive. It starts with you. The first step is forgiveness, love and compassion towards yourself. When we begin to honour ourselves, we automatically begin to honour others and the world around us.
Start by just simply allowing whatever feelings come up in your body and mind. Then, honour those feelings. Truly see yourself as a student in life who is doing the best they can. Be your own best friend. Be like a parent to those parts of you that are hurting, angry, and afraid. Then send all of it love in each moment and with everything that arises. By honouring ourselves, we allow our perception to change to one of compassion. This compassion leads to a better understanding and connection to others and our world.
By modelling self-love and compassion and sharing this with our world and fellow human-beings we spread a new energetic vibration. This vibration will change the world. You have the power.
