We live in a world of time and space. It is a world filled with people constantly demanding our attention to do what he or she wants us to do. This push and pull of our conscious awareness leads us into our personality. The personality is our persona. Our persona is the part of us we reveal to the world. It is our protective venir. Our outter self. Much of our attention goes into securing our place in this world of attention. It pulls us from our center.
The center of who we really are is not pushed nor pulled by the forces of nature in this world of form. The world of form binds our attention into the limits of time of space. Yet, who we are cannot be defined by such a reality. In our essence, we know we are eternal. We are the sons and daughters of the universe. We are ONE soul. We are connected in ways we are not aware of in the personality that tries to carve out a place in the world as though this is the beginning and ending of what is.
We are so much more than we think. We are even more than we can think. I heard it once said that if you were to take every single human being in the world and put us together as one single human being, you would have the perfect human. What does this really mean? If we were to conceive of ourself as one single entity making up the whole, you could not destroy one single part of yourself without destroying the whole. Which is more of a realistic way of looking at who we are than we may think.
Within our world is the perception of good and bad. This notion of seperateness creates more conflicts in our world in ways we cannot believe. We all have within us good and bad traits. Yet, this is not the the center of human relatedness that forms a spirit of care.
Think for a moment, we may be on this planet to create unconditional love more than we realize. In so doing, we learn to explore our world to the point of realizing that to love others with unconditional love as though we are a part of it ALL. To really do this is to accept all parts of our own being as needing to connect to the whole of who we are in others by accepting ourselves as we truly are.
