I often hear people saying, “ the world wants that and that, this world needs that and that, the global population has to… etc” and so on. And yet, nobody (or almost nobody) is referring to this world as “my world, or our world”.
Mm, sounds different, isn`t it?:-)
It`s a whole new feeling and perspective to be saying, “I like our world and am grateful for being part of it”, instead of “I like this world but it`s really not any of my concern what`s going on in it”
You see the difference?:-)
I really hope you can sense it as there is a slight (if not big and obvious) difference between these two:-)
Which one you like most? Which one resonates better with you?:-)
Let me know, please, as I am really curious …:-)
So, how come people say, “ this world” and not “our world?” Why is that? And why are they putting themselves outside our world? Aren`t they a part of it? Aren`t we all part of this planet and in it together?
I mean, how can they think they are separated when we`re all living under the same roof( sky)?
Aren`t we stepping on the same ground?
I really don`t get it…:P
But I do know this: people are referring to the world in this way because this is what the ego taught them to do; this is what the ego led them to believe.
But you know what? It`s not true; not true at all.
We tend to think that we are separated because our eyes see the physical appearance of another person and we immediately think that that person is separated from us, that we don`t have anything in common with her, that we are here and she is there. It`s rather a normal reaction since this is what our human eyes see and what our human mind thinks.
This unreal idea of separation is created by our bodies but here`s the trick : we are more than our bodies. If you can accept this, you`re on your way to spiritual awakening. The spirit that connects us and brings everything into place is the very thing that bonds us; it always has and will always do so. This eternal spirit, my friend, is God…:-)
From this point of standing, we may say that we are brothers and sisters, and that the planet- our planet- is our house. When you look at it from this angle, the separation fades and you see the truth that`s been around for thousands of years: we`re one with everything around us.
Jesus said it, Buddha said it, Krishna and all the other great spiritual teachers that have been on this planet 🙂
Isn`t this wonderful? Isn`t it a blessing to be part of God`s divine plan?:-)
I believe it is, and I am eagerly waiting for the day when every human being on this planet will come to awakening, will come to see the truth as it really is and won`t let themselves be tricked by this illusion of separation. No, not anymore!
What a joy it will be then!:-) Our world will shine and will be full of light, beauty and harmony!
Why?
Because, when every person will realize this truth, they will no longer think, speak or act from a place of separation or individuality. Nope:-)
Instead, they`ll think from a place of global well- being:-)
They won`t think anymore as “ Need to put myself safe first” and instead they`ll think: ”I want to serve my world and people, want to act for the well-being of all as I finally got it now that this is not a race nor a competition; this life and world are not a jungle and need to secure my place in it. No, that was my old way of thinking. Now, I know better…” 🙂
So, this is our world and we are part of it, what can we do? How can we help it, since our planet is obviously facing major issues?
It all starts with a deep and conscious sense of responsibility. Everything starts with us and everything ends with us.
Let us look at ourselves as an important piece in this game and that our place here has been divinely planned and is divinely guided:-)
This will totally shift your vibration around the idea of “what`s my place in here?” 🙂
Then, let me ask you, you do love your home, don`t you? You love to take care of it, love to keep it clean, harmonious; love to maintain it clear and free from any garbage, clutter or imbalance, right?
Well, my friend, it`s not too different from our planet:-)
Wherever you may be living, if you can make things better- regardless big or small- exactly where you are, you`re creating a strong intention, energy and action to make our world a better place. You`re contributing to its expansion, growth and ultimately -to its healing.
And when you`re doing so, other people will want to follow your example because by that time they`ll have been inspired and moved by your actions:-)
It`s a powerful chain reaction, and it has no end..:-))
We can help our world by carrying an unconditional love within ourselves for everything and everyone, we can help our world by sending into the universe positive thoughts, feelings and emotions; we can help our world by being gentle, generous and loving with people who`re less fortunate than we are. Sharing our inner gifts, without expecting something back, is also a valuable action we can take.
We can also help our world by taking care of nature, our environment and animals.
Let us not forget that animals, too, are part of our world and most importantly- they are living beings that can feel our love or hatred. We need to love and respect them, as it is the same divine hand that created them, just like it has created us…:-)
Michael Jackson – may God rest his soul- once said, “Heal the world”. It is also the title of one of his songs.
I can`t agree more with him. He really knew what he was saying:-) Let`s heal our world through kind words and deeds, as it is our world and we have the power to do it. It lies in our hands.
Much love,
Cristina
Cristina, Another great blog post. I really enjoy your philosophical observations. I believe the future of our planet and all its inhabitants depends on each one of us taking responsibility for the others with which we share this Earth. Although I know I have many faults and do not always understand the problems ahead, I try very hard to get involved wherever I feel I can make a difference, (even many areas I am not sure, but try anyway). It is my responsibility as a human and a child of God to work where He shows me to work.Thank you for helping, through your gifts, to raise awareness and help God’s cause.
Doug
Hey, Doug:-))
I`m glad to hear you`re enjoying my observations, Doug:-)) As you know, it is always my biggest joy to share them with everybody:-)) Since you are one of these people, I want to thank you for reading them and for letting me know your comments on them:-) Thanks!
Yes, definitely, Doug. The future of our world depends on how each inhabitant sees themselves and most importantly- how they contribute to the well being of our planet. I believe it`s time for people to face reality, to face the truth that we are 100% responsible for our planet as it is ours and we, as human beings, are the only ones who have the mental, emotional and physical ability to look after it. The planet won`t take care of itself, it can`t do this on its own. We need to bring our contribution to the process, and stop harassing it. It is our duty as citizens of this planet and as children of God.
This is very good, Doug, and I am happy to hear it:-)) Giving your best to make a difference wherever you are has a huge impact and it`s terrific:-)) So glad to hear this:-)))
Thank you, too, Doug, for reading my posts and for sharing your views on them with me:-))
Stay well, my friend:-)))
