Look from above and transcend the constructed division.
Have you noticed how we continously put ourselves, and are being put, into one group or the other. One point of view or the other. Media sets the tone and if we don't stop and question, we will be tricked into believing this is the only reality of life - divided into segments, sides, parts.
At a first glance it might seem like putting people and things into groups or segments would bring harmony. I disagree.
Here's a few examples of how this mindset of comparison or segmenting can look like:
You vs. them.
We against those others.
Democrat vs. republican.
Vaccinated vs. unvaccinated.
Good and bad.
Do you see how the media, such as online or printed news, are constantly feeding us this belief of division? Which we repeat like a parrot.
It's an ego trap.
You feel 'good' when you get proof that you're 'right' about something and feel offended or get angry when you're being presented with information that goes against your belief.
So you surround yourself with people who hold the same beliefs as you and subtly judge the 'others'.
Sometimes even families are split up because family members feel they can not accept or love(!) an other because of different beliefs about who should be voted for president of a certain country etc.
I do believe we humans can do so much better than this!
Look from above
If we want to find true freedom, we need to see from above, from the perspective of an eagle.
When we look from above, we start to see the big picture. We don't only see individuals, but families and communities. Instead of cities we see countries. Instead of countries we see a humanity.
A humanity as a whole. One living organism. Dependent on each other.
I come to think about bird murmurations! You know, that pheonmena when hundreds of thousands of birds fly in absolute harmony, very close together, with great speed and synchronicity and form like "moving clouds" in the sky.
The bird flock seem to be moving as one unity, as one organsim.
On Christmas Eve, 24th of December, I got outside on the porch, to feel into the new day in nature, as I usually do in the morning. A flock of hundreds of birds flew by, in absolute silence, only heard a "swoosh". That very moment was mesmerizing and I felt the birds were on a mutual mission.
And that's something we humans could become better at.
Mutual mission
What does this world need more of?
What kind of future would you like to see?
We need to put our attention on what we want to see.
If humans were a flock of birds, what would we look out for, from above?
Clean water?
Lush green forests?
Nourishing food?
A place to rest for everyone?
A birds life is of course more simple than a human life, yet many needs are the same. We humans could adopt a bit of that simplicity in order make it easier on ourselves.
Working for the same goal, as one flock of birds, or as one humanity, if you wish.
If birds would continously argue and keep on choosing sides, they would disappear from this Earth fairly quickly. They could not fly together, live together. They need each other. Humans need each other too.
In order to bring this humanity to a higher state of being, we need to see all individuals also as one humanity.
This is the way to a more loving and kind world.
Start with yourself
We don't need to carry the weight of others' wrongdoings on our own wings.
Everyone has a free will.
However, everyone's actions or non-actions does affects everyone else. Which is good! We look at it from the bright side!
Start with yourself and see how you can help the flock of humanity fly in harmony.
Even the smallest action, or non-action, helps everyone else.
What helps us humans fly higher with ease, is to cherish the four inherent qualities of the spiritual heart:
Love
Compassion
Forgiveness
Understanding
We can hold on to love, compassion, forgiveness and understanding in all that we do.
Can you be a bit more understanding also to them, who think differently than you? Understanding is a pathway to your heart, and helps your heart to expand.
Can you forgive yourself and have compassion for yourself, for something that you did or didn't do? This will also open your heart.
To say, "just open your heart", isn't always helpful, even if I frequently use those words myself. Also to say "just love them", can feel distant, when you're angry or disapppointed.
Instead, look into how you can in daily life extend even a bit of kindness, compassion, forgiveness and understanding - towards yourself and others. Isn't there a bit of love automatically involved there?
One affects the other
Never underestimate the impact on the whole humanity, from the kindness and generosity you show yourself.
When you are a bit more kind towards yourself, you will see that you will look at others with more compassionate eyes too.
You move away from the constructed segmentation into a more wholesome view from above. You set love and harmony in motion, and thus, help others do the same. Remember, human beings easily repeat what others do.
Strength is needed. How to forgive and love, even if you are being ridiculed or abandoned? This is by the way how media forces control the masses: ridicule, shame and abandonment.
When you stand in your center and truth, there's no need to judge others.
It takes strength to stand with integrity in your own truth, which becomes a spiritual practice on it's own.
Your words matter. Your actions matter. Your love matter. You matter.
At the end of the day
As you sit down with a hot cup of tea, after a long day, take a sigh of relief and reflect.
You can also reflect on the whole year 2024, as we are now entering the new year!
Think about all the beautyful, big and small, things you did - or didn't. Sometimes saying "no" is the best act of kindness towards yourself.
Congratulate yourself for even the smallest beautiful thing that you did today, that contributed to a more wise and loving humanity.
Also acknowledge the beauty, love and compassion from your fellow humans and send out a "thank you" from your heart to theirs.
Know that whole humanity is awakening from a very long 'dream' right now. And we are all contributing to this awakening process.
When we start to see each other as souls, as the light within and as spiritual beings, life gets easier.
How would it change a situation if you saw "the other ones" as bright spiritual beings?
The light of your soul is the same as the light in everyone else. We all origin from that same light.
We are one humanity.
Big hugs and much love,
Monika
