Remembering our Oneness will heal the world
2012 marks an incredibly important time for our planet. People
are moving away from valuing material possessions and
separation. Many of us are no
longer satisfied with a 9 – 5 and watching television from our reclining
sofa. More and more of us are looking for
something bigger than ourselves, something to fill the void
within us which has been caused by forgetting what we all
truly are.
Although we all have our own unique personalities,
perspectives and preferences, these elements of our character
are expressions of our most basic
essence – our vast Oneness. It is this Oneness that is what we
really are underneath all of our differences. The hole that so
many of us feel in
our lives is easily filled when we remember this simple truth.
Psychic abilities and our Oneness
Our psychic abilities are made possible by our Oneness. It’s
easy when you think about it – we’re able to tap into each
other’s vibes and feelings
because we’re all connected to the same power source, in the
same way our five fingers are all joined to the same hand.
It’s through this common
part of ourselves that we’re able to read each other and to
sense events which are yet to happen.
Everything and everyone is an individual expression of the
universal energy which creates all things. It’s the energy
that makes plants and flowers
grow, and the energy that keeps our hearts beating. Having a
heart alone doesn’t make you alive; it’s this mysterious force
that keeps it pumping.
We are all made of this life force energy.
Comfort in our Oneness
It’s comforting to know that underneath our faults, weaknesses
and doubts, there is this perfect, divine essence. In fact,
our weaknesses only
develop when we forget where we’ve come from.
The biggest pain a human being can feel is disconnection. This
is why we feel so much grief when a loved one dies, as we feel
that the cord which
connected us with that person has been wrenched from us.
Disconnection causes us to look outside of ourselves for
comfort, and we can fall into all
kinds of traps – addictions, conflicts, self-harming habits,
etc. Reversely, the greatest joy we feel is through
connection. When we are in love we
are reminded of our oneness, even if only with that person.
But the truth is that if we can find a place where we are ‘in
love’ with everyone, we
will remember that we are one with everyone.
As we are all aspects of ‘God’, this means that when we are in
search of answers to our spiritual dilemmas we need look no
further afield than
ourselves. The best gurus and spiritual teachers will point us
back to our innate divine perfection because they know who we
really are. We have
the answers and all the wisdom of the universe inside of us
already, all we need to do is learn how to listen to it.
When we remember our connectivity to all things, this will
lead to a deep inner peace. Conflicts are resolved more
quickly and easily when we see
that we are only ever in conflict with another aspect of
ourselves. Fighting with another person starts to feel more
like fighting with our own
reflection.
We will also find that we are kinder and more loving towards
ourselves. When we acknowledge that our essence is divine we
can forgive ourselves for
things we feel we’ve done ‘wrong’ and believe more in the
consistent ever-flowing potential that comes from our
divinity.
Our Oneness and the Greater Good
Recognising our Oneness is the only way we will achieve world
peace. Wars are not possible when we are in love with others
and with ourselves. In a
world where everyone favours peace over conflict, the idea of
war will become an extinct concept.
But we cannot force this understanding upon others. It is
something we must learn and see for ourselves. The greatest
gift you can give to the
world is to see that you are part of the Oneness of all
things. When you do this, the natural peace and love this
brings will radiate from you to
everyone who crosses your path. Your example will ripple
widely. As Gandhi once famously said, “Be the change you want
to see in the world.”
