Breathe, We are One

Hello!  Today marks the halfway moment on this Quest.  You are “Just as far in as you’ll ever be out.” (Anna Nalick – Breathe)

What does that mean?  It means we have a choice.  Right now.  We can still go either direction, and with equal effort get where we are headed.  We know what going back to duality looks like.  What will it take to get to Oneness?

To proceed from here on you must be willing to see through the illusion.  We have a saying in our house, you have to “buy the rubber suit”; a reference to the old Godzilla movies, where you could actually pick out the zipper on the monster.  If you wanted to get the most out of the show, you had to ignore the zipper, and believe the costume.

For us to reach a state of unity we’ll have to remember, with or without a zipper, that this is all a finely tuned performance.  I am not my body.  I chose her to express and experience a lifetime.  She’s been here a few years, has a history and a future.  Yet she is not me.  I am a light, a force, a unique aspect of Divinity.  I chose every moment she experienced.  None of those moments define who I am.  they were merely scenes in the play of my life. This is the truth for each of us.

In order for us to embrace Oneness, we must remember there is a rubber suit and notice always the light beneath.  Life demands that we play our roles – we are light workers in costume.  We look like fathers, mothers, sisters, brothers or orphans.  We are privileged and poor, suffering and celebrating, vibrant and ill.  We are doctors, lawyers, therapists, plumbers, engineers, scientists, musicians and teachers.  This time, in this life, we have picked one, two or a dozen of these outfits to wear; these “rubber suits”.

There is difference between pity and compassion.  Have compassion without pity, for pity separates and compassion unites.  In this life you may appear to be more fortunate than some others.  If that is true, and you are moved to share your abundance, then do so.  Always give in a way that honors the recipient without creating a state of being beholden or subservient. The roles we choose are many.  Rest assured you have at one time walked in everyone’s shoes, as they have in yours.

Without these shoes we are One.  There is no difference – we’ve all come to serve.  What are we serving?  We are propelling our own evolution – individually and collectively, by playing out our roles.  We are serving the ultimate gift – we are offering love.  It is what emanates from our very pores and right through these shoes and rubber suits.

When you engage with another who appears to be in need, you have been gifted.  He or she is shining a light on a part of you that you need to see – whether it be compassion or indifference; their presence has called it forth.  There is no right or wrong, there is only experience.

From here on in, in order to proceed towards Oneness, we’ll have to remember the “rubber suit” and honor the light within.  Every time.

If we can get there, as often as possible, our traveling will be easy.  Then Oneness will be all that we see, and our path will be brilliantly lit with the lights of our seven billion souls.

We are the One we’ve been waiting for.

Thank you.  It is an honor to be here.
