Episode 25 Blog Being Willing to See in the Mirror
All of us
have worth. Some may
be in disguise.
When we are
in judgment of others we are operating from within a separated sense of Self.
Let go of our judgments and be it homeless, presidential, your boss or company,
your neighbor or family member we all have worth in some way. The trick is in
being free of our judgments and biases to know in what way. Could be as
support, learning, trauma, all are serving each of us in being. It may be in
helping us to be compassionate, challenged, appreciative, or supportive.
We each contribute
to the whole of Being. We are the collective we call Consciousness, the many
individuals experiencing and expressing what we call Self. We share in genetic memories
and create this reality by our thoughts. This is Morphic Resonance.
Nothing is
outside of Consciousness. Unless, you think it is. In this physical realm of
contrast a sense of separation in Self is easy to manifest as it is the
contrast of Being. This illusion has permeated our Western culture. We have become doers. We put value not on how we contribute
to society but on how much we make our way in society. We are feeling
compromised and conditioned in our expression of life and love.
We seem to
be living in The Emperor’s Clothes and turning on our children for
speaking the truth that we are too afraid to speak ourselves.
This quote
came into my awareness this week while crafting this episode of Ubuntu and the
Separated Self. So, I will pay attention and share it with you. The separated
Self is in disconnection from its source, itself as Essence that has been
waiting.
“Love After Love The time will
come when, with elation you will greet yourself arriving at your own door, in
your own mirror and each will smile at the other's welcome, and say, sit here.
Eat. You will love again the stranger who was your self. Give wine. Give bread.
Give back your heart to itself, to the stranger who has loved you all your
life, whom you ignored for another, who knows you by heart. Take down the love
letters from the bookshelf, the photographs, the desperate notes, peel your own
image from the mirror. Sit. Feast on your life.” Derek Walcott
Want to make
a difference right now in the world?
Make the time to sit for a few moments and
notice your relation to someone in the homeless population. Doesn't have to be someone you know. It maybe the guy in the tent at the freeway overpass you go by every morning or someone sitting on the street. Sit with them as
they are the elephant in the room.
Just sit.
Feel your connection to being present in
Heart Centered Awareness.
In sitting with them you give them voice and worth.
Breathe and notice what is happening to the elephant. All of us have worth and
may be in disguise. Just sit and let what is present engage you. How they look and behave is illusion. Let it drop. And you, drop yours.
If you are
judging, you are in your story of separated Self. Don’t judge. Be with them, be
them and see what happens.
What are you
reflecting to them as their mirror?
