See more to BE more.

     Imagine you are looking a point in space. Nothing but a black, empty, pit of darkness. Pulling back, you see edges of brightness. Straight and sharp, the edges grow larger, contrasting the lines between light and dark. As you pull further back, you see that these forms are a letter, then several, revealing a series of letters that form words, then phrases, then sentences. Soon, those words and sentences develop more- into a thought, an idea. Moving further back, you begin to see that these thoughts and ideas are the fibers of LIFE, weaving and flowing together in colors, sounds and shapes. Grass, trees, animals, buildings, vehicles, and people...each hustling and bustling at different rates of speed and with different energies and vibrations, but ever connected by the very molecules that create them. That create US. With perspective we can see the Divine connectedness of all life. 

     When we stop focusing on the smallness that is right in front of us and take the time to step back and gain perspective, we become more lovingly aware that WE ARE ONE. What is done to even the smallest speck of life is done to ALL life. Separateness is an illusion created by a world that has forced us into segregation. Isolated communities, castes, races, peoples made to feel alone and afraid of one another. Engrained and indoctrinated by greed and gluttony. Taught to live defensively, protecting self at the cost of all else. It is time we gain perspective. Step back and truly SEE  more to BE more. Travel. Meet people in other lands. Feast with strangers and know their plights. Listen to their music and feel the pulsing rhythm of their drums. The rhythm is our heartbeats, our eternal spark. We must step outside ourselves in order to truly see ourselves. 

     God gazes on the earth from a higher point, and so too must we.  

           It is the only way we will heal this world. ~P.Frye
