There was a powerful chord struck yesterday in the United States from a tragic incident in Connecticut. This is not the first time such an incident has occurred and I am sure it wont be the last (but here's hoping). Such events reveal a repeating pattern within race consciousness that can only be healed when we as a collective take a moment to honestly reflect on the true cause of such events.
We could say that the person 'responsible' for the death was evil. We could hold onto contempt and anger and focus those intentions towards them. We could call out for justice, for stricter gun laws, for greater security in our schools. We could do all of this and still only be trying to change things on the level of Effect. If we wish to catalyze true change in our experience of life then we must go to the root of the issue, the true cause.
We live in a world with such a plethora of conflicting ideologies, beliefs, cultures, and societal structures. All of this is born from a single idea; that of separation. A false idea held in the minds of billions. And as long as such an idea is held as truth in the minds of so many then these experiences will continue to occur. Yet how can we shift this idea to something new, something beautiful, something true?
I cannot imagine what I would experience if something like this happened at the school where my own child attends so I wont attempt to. In this moment I remain anchored in the Truth. That we are not separate. We are One in Mind. And through the eyes of this truth I see no separation between the "victims" or the "victimizer". And because there is no separation between them then it is one thing expressing through both to the degree that it is conscious of its own nature and being. With that being said I think its safe to say that there is a great deal more that can be consciously realized in all people so that what is being expressed through us and as us reflects more purely the Divinity we are.
I would not ask the people affected by this tragedy to take a higher road of thinking. To swallow their anger and thirst for justice and to look past the actions of the individual responsible for so many deaths. What they are feeling is natural and necessary in such circumstances. If they are guided to really look at what they are feeling and thinking they will reveal powerful truths about Who and What they are. I would also not leave it to them to decide what should be done from this event, for the emotions they feel at the moment will cloud truth from their awareness.
The real change can occur on the level of community. These people need a solid foundation to walk on and as their Brothers and Sisters it is within our capacity to build that for them. In this moment they feel broken, lost, afraid, angry. These emotions will one day pass but as they go through them we must be the pillars of truth and light so that they may know they are never alone. That life is not over. That in each and every moment the Universe is offering them the exact experience they need to help them awaken to their true nature.
And this lesson can be learned through all of us, by all of us.
I offer a prayer;
I breathe into the awareness of the One infinite, loving intelligence of God which permeates all things and breathes its life force through me, as me. Each moment is caused by this great un-moved mover. All things are born of this ever present Love and to it all things shall return. We never leave this most holy abode and in this life I commit to awakening completely into the light of Divine Mind. I pray that all beings may awaken to this light and in it live, move and consciously have their being.
There is no loss. There is no death. We traverse this realm of physicality as we would walk a dream. What happens here is not of reality, but exists merely as a shadow of the light of truth. Through the grace of the One infinite Mind may we share in this experience of wholeness and love together, in each and every moment.
May all people find peace in their journey's. May they each feel the Cosmic hug of God as they are held in perfection of Truth and gracefully led to the realization of their true nature in this life. I recognize we are here together for a wondrous purpose. To Awake from the dream, whilst in the dream and shape our experience accordingly.
I am eternally grateful for the Love in my heart. For the recognition of truth in the eyes of my Brother's and Sisters. In my heart I reside and forever shall I remain. The doors to my heart are forever open to all. May we be in peace.
And so it is.
Aum ♥
