Will we ever understand, will we ever recognize, will we ever choose to embrace the exams that life puts before us? Will we cooperate with the challenges that are helping us learn and to grow? Will we realize that we don’t need to ever choose between one version of ourselves or another…between one potential outcome or another—that irrespective of whatever is happening to us, we must walk ourselves to the other side.
Do you think we will ever comprehend– ever fully grasp– as souls that are constantly held back in the school that is life, that we are to love and embrace our tests; to bloom from them in the end? Can we ever come to terms with the fact that everything that we believe is against us is actually just a mirror of our darker selves? Will we ever recognize that there are other possible means in which we as humanity could be living in? A realm which doesn’t include hate, violence, poverty, famine; among many other cruelties our current sphere is ruled under.
When are we going to wake up and see that the seeds we are planting in our own yards are the seeds that will be the harvest of our future? And, yet, even during this harvest we antagonize the very beehives that live in the trees, without acknowledging that it is these same bees which provide for and sustain us.
Will we ever wake up and realize that we don’t have to choose solely the worst version of our potential selves, that this whole thing is to walk the other way after all?
We need to understand that living within the rhythm of life is enough. We need to trust that everything flows as it should—there is no need to intellectualize everything. Instead, we just need to live within this rhythm.
I don’t even think about the possibility that we are not all capable of this rudimentary reasoning…and like some sort of string theory, it is all connected. Because if I know it and if you can understand it, then we all have the possibility to think it.
It is to Newton’s physics that we owe a “thank you” as there is no denying the benefit of his laws to humanity. However, these laws only take into account what our perception allows our senses to see and to feel. And while they may ground us in the tangible world, they still ignore everything that we cannot see with our eyes, that we cannot hold with our hands. It is this beyond, this atom level, that we need to transition to—the beyond where we are all just cells working collectively as a single organism.
And those scientists who discovered these atoms and particles, in reality, we are all just like them. However, whenever my mind wanders to this thinking, I also remember that there is this other side to humanity. A side in which simultaneously the majority would not think to hurt another being, yet, still there are those creating guns and bullets to cause such pain. It is this other side that conveys the immigration of the human consciousness. Is this really where humanity is evolving to?
