In life, we must remember that our reality is shaped by the choices and decisions we make as individuals. We are in control of our own destiny because we each have the power individually and then collectively to transform reality into what we desire. We can do this by aligning our thoughts consciously with our actions. Our actions, reactions and inactions are what molds our life pathways.
Each one of us has a responsibility to ourselves and to others to become independent, self reliant individuals who own up to the choices we make. Every action has a reaction. When we make a choice in our life it has an effect on other people that are in contact with our pathway. Therefore we must be conscious, and respectful of this truth. We must realize the full extent of our being. We appear individuals, but in actuality we are all connected and part of the whole. Each one of us is responsible and influential on the collected consciousness of the group.
When enough of us have realized this truth and begin to align our lives to help serve others, considering what impact we can and do have on each other, then the world will begin to operate in a truly peaceful manner.
In knowing this we must realize that the only true way to help others, is to first help ourselves. This is not being selfish. You can’t give something that you do not have. Jesus said “Love your neighbor as yourself”. The most important part of this verse that is often overlooked is the “as yourself” part. Love is something that comes from within. It is a feeling that originates from a higher source but can only be accessed through our inner being. To love someone else is to love yourself; and verse-visa.
If we can not first love ourselves and rely solely on ourselves for the source of peace then we will spend our entire short lives trying to find external, materialistic objects, events and relationships to fill the void. However the truth of the matter is that the void can only be filled by accepting who you are and where you are for what you are and coming to peace with that. That is the meaning of life: To Love oneself, share and receive love with one another; To transcend our individuality to realize our place and purpose as part of the whole.
To paraphrase Gandhi: We can only change our realities by choosing to be the change we wish to see in the world. This is the truth. Infinite or Unconditional Love is the only truth, everything else is only illusion.
If we are unhappy with ourselves, our insecurities, our life-situation, we need only look one place for the answer: Inside. The answer to all things come from our inner being and the ability to access the collective consciousness of infinite being. Some people choose to call this god. Although this word has been so misused and perverted over thousands of years I choose to call it Being (all that IS).
We are all infinite beings. We are all apart of the infinite being. We all are one and the same. We have forgotten this because we have become separated from this oneness when manifesting into physical form. However through accepting what is, and searching and learning self evident truths we can begin to remember and heal ourselves and each other, moving into a more peaceful planet and peaceful self.
Remember this:
We all walk our own paths, together.
Choose this day, to take responsibility of what you have done and are doing. Choose to become aware of your impact on others and your ability to shape your own reality individually and collectively.
