Learning

It often astound me at how our soul evolves—one day what is earth movingly important , once lived becomes mundane and ordinary once we live it, or overcome it. We move on –and a say what next.

This idea bubbled to the surface as I am on face book more frequently and many lives are seen unfolding right in front of me , personalities are seen clearer and one can see how the same we really are. We think we are different, and yet nothing can be further from the truth. The more people I read, the more I see the similarities—not one is different that an other, meaning –“I”. Mostly this realization has come forth because of an interaction of a certain couple—where I—we have been. I thought we were so different, so special, so unique there was no one like us—how egotistical of me, how absurd even to think that. This is how God taught me the lesson, and He taught me well.

I have come to the conclusion that the only difference is that one is a moment ahead  or in the same place or an other a moment behind—but all going through the same motions of “soul expansion, soul experience” as I like to put it. I see wonderful quotes, references observations-some serious, some dramatic, some happy, some sad, some light, some spiritual, some esoteric, some romantic—and in each one I see part of myself.  

I was always aware of this but non so more than now—especially regarding the interchanges FB regarding a few souls. I smile—and within my heart I say; “been there, done that, have the T-shirt”. The thought is not of the feeling that I am more evolved, more ahead, more enlightened—not at all—on the contrary just the opposite. I realize how very little we know, how little we are enlightened and how our feet are still are stuck in the mud. In fact—it is making me more and more humble each day as I read the entries—seeing how very much we are all one. And now all our lives are intertwined, and how we are responsible for that is happening, be that in this room, on the corner or a village in Africa where “we”—are dying of hunger, of  thirst, of disease and war . You, we are them, and they are us—we are all “I AM”….who is really GOD/Creator/Great Consciousness/Source whatever one wants to call that Divine Energy. 

This just not only goes regarding suffering—it is in all areas of spirit, soul—including the physical experiences. It is a great experiential exercise for me in so many ways—and makes me realize what and why we are really are here—gives me a moment for pause to think, reflect and recognize the “questions”-never mind the answers, for that is and will be an eternal mystery. What the purpose is, and what the journey is, and what the goal is---is the Grand Secret.  

As His Holiness the Dalai Lama put it: ”we still need many more lifetimes to become enlightened, so let us become human beings first”.
