You may be someone who understands the true reality of the universe, knowing that we all emanate from the same source, that we are all essentially one, and that we are here on earth to learn, grow and love one another. To understand this is to be awakened to the true nature of the self, and the blessing of life. Life is short and every day we have is gift to be treasured.
Nevertheless, people who just don’t get it are seemingly everywhere and, often, in positions of power. It can be frustrating and painful to watch them behave unconsciously, living their lives in ego instead of their true self. We all encounter individuals of this bent in our families, at work, and in all areas of public life. It is easy to find ourselves feeling intolerant of these people, wishing we could be free of them even though we know that separation from them is an illusion.
It helps sometimes to think of us all as different but important parts of matrix of the universe. We all have darkness within our mind that needs healing, so, we must learn to listen to the heart which is our connection to the Divine. The health of the physical body depends upon the relative health of the individual within it.
We increase harmony when we hold onto the light, not allowing it to be darkened by judgment, anger, and fear about those who behave unconsciously. It’s easier to accomplish this if we don’t focus on the negative qualities of individuals and instead focus on how increasing our own light will increase the light of others and in turn help heal the planet.
When dealing with people who seem very unconscious, it helps to remember that everyone must find their own way to awakening and that the experiences they are having are an essential part of not only their own soul growth but to the universe as a whole. Holding them in the light of our own energy may be the best way to awaken theirs. At the same time, we are inspired by their example to look within and shed light on our own unconscious places, sacrificing the urge to judge and surrendering instead to humble soul-growth.
