(REVISITED POST)

“Imagine all the people, sharing all the world.”
~ “Imagine” by John Lennon ~

“We envision a world where personal responsibility joins with social conscience in every area of the political, corporate, academic, and social sector, providing sustainable structures to further the emerging global consciousness.”
~ Centers for Spiritual Living ~ 

While the gardener does not physically see the interaction that takes place between the seed she plants and the soil in which it is placed; nonetheless, in due season not only does the gardener see the evidence in full bloom, everyone who encounters the garden also sees it. The flower, fruit, or vegetable yields its color, its fragrance, its taste, and its texture to all alike. Yes, we are all in this together.  

Likewise, there is a similar activity that takes place in the mental realm of humanity. For example, like seeds being planted in soil, our beliefs, feelings, and emotions unconsciously fall into the energy of the one creative mind. In due season these vibratory sensations are evidenced in the physical realm where they are experienced. Everyone who resonates with this particular mindset is susceptible to its effects. Yes, we are all in this together.

 The song, “We Are the World,” written by Michael Jackson and Lionel Richie, is a perfect illustration of our common unity as global citizens. It depicts how we are all in this thing called life together, and that we each have the power to plant seeds that produce the highest good for everyone.  When the principle of Oneness is realized, and activated, the power of Love, Peace, and Harmony are unleashed, bringing comfort and healing to receptive hearts and minds. 

The Principle of Oneness may seem simple enough when it comes to family, and dear friends, etc. However, the challenge is to realize it regarding those we disagree who seem to be in opposition to our personal values. These illusions of division and separation create false images of duality, i.e., “them” vs. “us.”

The Master Teacher, Jesus, understood the interconnectivity of humanity, and provided a simple lesson to support us in our quest for well-being on the planet. It is a simple lesson of good will toward all. He taught: “So in everything, do to others what you would have them do to you, …”

It takes courage, mindfulness, and a commitment to practice the Principle of Oneness and rise above the shadows of darkness, caused by the ignorance of our true identity as centers of consciousness in the One Infinite Presence and Power.   The illumined mind moves forth, making conscious choices, aware that their choices, like seeds, manifest in due season as a world that works for everyone.

 From this perspective of interdependence, we step into the greater yet to be that awaits us. When our masks of separation are finally removed, the emerging consciousness affirms a resounding yes!  Yes, we are all in this together …, we are our brother’s keeper. The mystic asserts I AM my brother!

And, so it is!
