Today is the winter solstice. From today onward, there will be more light in our lives and on the northern hemisphere of the planet. Literally in the minutes that the sun shines, and literally in the amount of light each one of us beautiful souls carries and shines all around this amazingly diverse planet. A diversity that is uniquely ours as residents and caretakers of Earth. We are so lucky to have so many species of plants, insects, birds, fish, animals, rocks and trees. Weather that cycles and changes and washes us clean with skies that are constantly changing. The light has a magical effect at dawn and dusk and puts on a show for us almost every single day.
Taking some moments to empty our minds of all concerns, we can simply love the diversity of our experience here on Earth. If we were to step out of our physical shoes and be able to see ourselves and our existence from the vantage point of our higher selves, we could allow ourselves to see that our experience here is so rich with diversity.
Our experience allows us to feel such high highs and low lows and the quizzical state of mixed emotions. We have such grand mysteries in our past beginnings of civilization so that, we are trying to figure out who we really are as we watch our story unfold. We get to meet and interact with so many people coming from different geographical, cultural and ethnic backgrounds. We have so many choices, it really is a wealth of choices we get to use to create our lives every day.
In spirit we communicate by thought, so there are no secrets… and it’s okay because there is no judgment either. But, to have this experience with this veil of forgetfulness in place is a gift. It is a gift because we can truly know who we are when placed in diverse circumstances by the choices we make and how we react. It is an artificial bubble allowing us to create with our choices, a life that is rich and full. The illusion of separateness is a gift. It gives us the alone time some of us sorely crave when we are in spirit.
The only thing better than alone time in this diverse experience is the thrill of awakening and discovering others are waking up too. The heartwarming skate toward Oneness and the joy of reconnecting on higher levels brings forth glee in the remembrance that we were always this way, always connected, always Love. It’s like the greatest detective story reveal ever written and being part of that story playing out on the grandest stage ever built.
The only thing better than that, is the discovery that while under that beautiful amnesia (that we chose to have,) we had no idea who else was out there in the Universe. We got to read stories about little green men and we got to sit under the stars on a clear night and gaze and wonder if there really were little green men. Then the surprise as the news comes out that not only have we been visited by other Universal beings, but some of them really were little green men. And then the diversity of growth in each of us individually and as a whole, as we go from being members of a global community to becoming members of a galactic community.
So the next time you or I forget to appreciate our experience here in this life, we only need to get our heads and hearts back into remembering and appreciating. All the atoms that come together to make up our clothes and food and furniture… our cars and houses and offices and stores and communities and computers and washing machines… our bodies and hair and skin and eyes… all the things that are here just for us, so we can be having this magical, diverse experience.
That is why we keep coming back to lives on Earth… because after the rich diversity of experiences here, we would be bored anywhere else. So, take a moment to take a step back and look at your life as if you were your higher self and just love the diversity of it.
Love the Diversity.
