“Wisdom is knowing we are all One. Love is what it feels like and Compassion is what it acts like.” ~ Ethan WalkerCan the key to living a peaceful, fulfilling and abundant life really be as simple as recognizing and acknowledging the principle of Oneness?
I just finished reading book 3 of the Conversations with God series by Neale Donald Walsch. My youngest daughter gave me the Conversations with God Trilogy over ten years ago. It was my birthday gift the year my husband died. I read the first two books and started the third book and then for some reason never finished it. Perhaps I just wasn’t ready at that time to grasp this concept. Now that I have completed all three books and especially since it has been a long stretch between the first and third book, I am inspired to go back and start again from book 1. I highly recommend this series to everyone. It will give you a much more positive image of God and some really awesome thought provoking principles. Back to my reason for writing this blog today. In the last book there is a lot of talk about Highly Evolved Beings. The conversation explores the life principles of HEB’s (the abbreviation used in the book). As I was reading this section, I couldn’t help but think how these simple principles would solve a whole lot of today’s struggles and the division that is causing so much hate and violence. The principles are quite simple: We Are All One– If we are all one, how could you treat someone else in any way that is less than the way you would not treat yourself? There is Enough-When you take that leap of faith and live life knowing “There is enough for everyone”, you would share what you have without even thinking about it. You would not deny anyone anything. There is no need for people to cheat, steal or horde anything. There is Nothing We Have To Do-This concept simply says, there is nothing you have to have, nothing you have to do and nothing you have to be, in order to find happiness and peace. You just have to be You. Being your true self leads to you being happy, wise and loving. I know I said these principles were simple but, based on our current reality, it can seem really difficult to live by these principles. And in order for these principles to create a life of peace for everyone, everyone has to adopt this way of life. Another key to living by these principles is that everyone must live by a Code of Awareness, Honesty and Responsibility. How hard is that in today’s world? This book made me really think about the changes necessary to create a new awareness and new way of living. First in realizing we are all one and we are all connected. The golden rule of treating others as we would treat ourselves. Now this rule does bring up one major concern for me and that is….some people do not treat themselves very well. They have low self esteem, a block because some life event has caused them to believe they do not deserve to be treated well. However, if the golden rule were in place, these events would not have happened or if we are promoting change, there would be enough love and support for these people that they would heal. So this concept of oneness appears to be a very good guiding principle in life. What one person does has an effect on others. Strive to be that one person and make a difference. Sharing resources with the mindset of there is always enough, eliminates a lot of economic problems. When you live as though there is enough you willing share what you have. You don’t even think about it, you just do it. That seems to be another tall order in this world. This would require a huge shift in thinking. No more scarcity mindset. I think we see this concept a lot when bad things happen. When there is a natural disaster, a really horrible event that demands our attention or a family in need, there are many people who will do what they can to help. Just look at Go Fund Me. It amazes me how much people give when they are aware of a bad situation. So why does it have to be a bad situation for us to give of our resources? Imagine a world where we always helped our neighbors, our community and all beings on this earth. Yes all beings, animals included. All that is. A sharing of everything for the greater good of all. Hmmmm Finally the concept of no pressure to Do anything. That seems a little hard to believe. If we didn’t do anything what would become of us? I believe this concept has more to do with being at peace with who you are. Not fitting into what you think you should be. Not believing what others say you are. When you feel happy and accepted, you will naturally do something. You will use your very special talents and gifts to serve a purpose. You will create a life that you love. You will just be you. When we as a community, take care of one another, share our talents and gifts and are protective of our natural resources, we create happy people living in a healthy environment. Take a minute to think about that community. No crime because there is no reason to steal or hurt others because we would not steal from or hurt ourselves. And everyone in the community would be following the code of Awareness (observing what is working in my life and my community, what is not), Honesty (no explanation needed) and Responsibility (for ones actions and the effect ones actions have on others). It looks like a pretty awesome community to me. I encourage everyone to read this book, even if you don’t believe there is a God. It is full of wisdom and ideas that really could change our world for the better. JULY 23, 2019 LEAVE A COMMENT EDIT
