Thinking about my older son today. This would have been his 55th birthday. He passed into the Realm of Beauty on November 28th of 2018. We had such an interesting relationship. He was a part of the generation depicted by the old TV show with Michael J. Fox where the parents are hippies and the kid is conservative. My son grew up to be a born again Christian and a Republican. It was one of those challenges that mothers sometimes are given. We didn’t talk often and had agreements in place about subjects to speak about. It didn’t leave a lot to share. We did usually talk on or near his birthday, so thinking of him. Sending prayers for his beautiful soul.
Hadn’t really thought about him being a Virgo lately. He was always very sure that he was right. It is so much a part of the challenge we are facing with the polarity in this country. I think the question is do we want to be right, or do we want to know the Truth? Can we go deeper into the story.
This quote from Charles Eisenstein’s recent course called ‘Political Hope’ says alot:
“The origin of the wrongness is a story, it’s an experience of separation. It’s our basic understanding of what it is to exist, what it is to be a self, and why we are here in the world. It’s our mythology, a mythology meaning a story that answers the basic questions of life. A mythology that says, “Who you are is a separate individual in a world of other. Why you are here is to survive and to maximize your self-interest, your reproductive self-interest, and your financial self-interest.”
Separation is one of the foundational conceptual pillars of everything I talk about, it’s not the deepest reality. The deepest reality occurs every time you look into somebody’s eyes and realize that this is not a separate being. It’s the same being looking out of different eyes at you. There are these moments of mystical realization that are available all the time.”
Let’s look into each other’s eyes today and experience our Oneness.
Blessings on your day.
