If Not This, What Will Yield Change?

In reality we are all one with the Divine, and one with one another within the Divine. But our perspective is of being separate from one another and even more so from the Eternal. With the latest viral attack, we have an opportunity to collectively change.

To change perspective, one must change one’s mind, one's thoughts. However, many of us don’t want to. We are comfortable where we are. We may not be happy, we may not feel secure, but we are comfortable enough and change takes effort. Anyone talking of change or encouraging change is often distrusted, even feared, at times mocked, and ultimately rejected.

A first objective is to shift the focus of our lives to the Eternal. The next is to shift our thoughts to our children and our children’s children and so on to gain a wider perspective of all lives. Thirdly, we must value service and giving of selves and resources to those in need, once we have enough resources of our own to survive. We must also respect nature and live within her laws. Religions and spiritual practices can be a tool used to shift our mental focus.

The difficulties lie in choosing the path of love and change over the path of least resistance, each day and each moment. One must feel that the change is vital; important to one’s own soul as well as to the world. Even so, change is difficult and requires strength of will, perseverance, and building relationship with the Eternal. We currently shelter in cocoons, but soon we will emerge and fly into the light, seeing and experiencing Oneness.
