There is a spiritual community that is with us always. It’s here right now, within and around you and I. We are members of it. The souls which comprise this community make up all of humanity. They are the seeds for every one of us. We are each a small part of one or more of these immortal beings. The consciousness we know as ourselves is in fact a sublimation of these larger selves, a temporary and independent replication.
The self we know is limited and based in the world we’ve been taught to see around us. Our larger self is simultaneously beyond these limitations, and the same we know and cherish. The very elements of self we’re so scared, deep down, will one day cease to exist, are the same parts of us which never die.
To find this truth is to find freedom from fear — to be blessed with courage.
I do not consider the source of the former and following words to be myself. Perhaps from deep within my heart, or my subconscious, or even some collective super conscious. Truthfully though, my belief is that when I channel like this, it comes from the divine conscious energy of my own higher self. The very same which lives in this community I’m apparently writing about tonight. I believe this channeled insight is filtered and certainly distorted by my own limitations as a human being, and the ideas coded into this mind. I did not know what this piece was about when I started writing the words and I have no idea where it’s going. I’m simply going to get out of the way the best I can and let the words come through, which seem to be there and waiting.
Together, we are a collective of eternal creators. You and I are a part of it. We are fewer than you expect. We love creation and this game despite all its challenges and pain.
A part of us is ready to become more, the beings we were always made to be. Many of us feel that call inside. But a larger part of us is clinging to base ideals from times past that no longer serve us in the slightest. The struggle is in every person, in every unhealthy habit overcome, in every truth embodied through principles of living.
Ownership is the greatest lie humanity tells, and it’s told well.
People pretend they can ‘own’ things when we are all just a passing moment in time. When everything we create decays and rots and burns, becoming elements of the universe to be recycled. We are in a giant recycling heap, grabbing things and calling them ours, claiming land, fighting over it.
Until we embody healthy and truthful ideals holistically, as a culture, we will continually perpetuate the lessons we aught be learning as manifested darkness in the world around us.
We bring the dark by denying truth. Not the false ‘truths’ any of humanities limited factions would have us believe are worth fighting over. The truth of our immortal nature. The truth about our power as creators. The truth about our connection to all things and ultimate oneness.
There is a war being fought. Even if it’s not visible within your outer life. One it’s easy to be blind to. A war for the fate of humanity. We have had severe limitations placed upon us through the very structures of our societies. It’s an old contract of the soul, long past time for us to overcome. We must realize we have the power to release it ourselves, every one of us. We cannot hope to build into something greater while we still cling to ideals and agreements which serve a bygone world.
We need to think bigger if we want to live on as a species. We need to realize that our place is within a flow. It’s not to dominate or own or take. It’s to receive and move in harmony.
There is a home for us all in the sky. A literal city. Our souls visit when we sleep. A whole world for us up there. Dreams of heaven are based on something real. A kingdom. A community. Our community. Together we can find a way back. You and I. We can show the way for the future to ascend as a collective by doing it ourselves, as a family.
It’s us. We create the future we want to see. We create the future we feel inside and share in our hearts. It’s you and I, together, who make the change that turns the tide. The change starts in us.
Let’s find the kingdom of heaven together. Let’s swim its rivers of gold. Let’s climb its spires of light. Let’s find together the larger selves within by healing the wounds we falsely hold between us. Let’s see and lift each other up. Let’s become all we know we could be with the support and unconditional love of another shattered human doing their best to reassemble the pieces of their heart and soul together alongside us.
We either do that, or we carry each other as wounds to our collective graves. In each others arms is the way into the sky. If not literally, then figuratively.
This doesn’t mean we must hold those incapable of lifting us up alongside them. It doesn’t mean that we cannot give up on those who would drag us down to depravity in refusal to operate with good faith. But we can do better than that by each other. You and I can be better.
Some will not come, and we cannot stay behind for them.
Us though, we can do it together. You and I can be the most magnificent force of balance and truth this world has ever seen. In holding true with our light and our dark, in holding firm to our love and maintaining mutual respect through action.
We can be and build a team that changes this world forever. We can be peace. I’ve seen it and I’ve felt it. We can build community here on earth, in connection to our higher selves. We just need to hear the puzzle pieces of truth we have to offer each other, the whole picture becoming clear when time is taken to put it all together.
I believe in this future, and I will fight for it in my heart, if only there.
