What is it that connects you to humanity? Do you even feel connected or do you feel like you are all alone in this big wide world with no one to REALLY see your point of view or know what it is that you are going through?
We each feel that all of our experiences through life are unique and we are the only ones that have experienced them. But let me ask you to look at things a little differently. Let me ask you to look at your neighbor, friend, husband, wife or child a little more closely. These people in your life you see as outside of you, separate from you, nothing like you, right?
Now try and see it this way……all of those people outside of you are just reflections of what it is that you are going through in your own life. They are the reflections of your own emotions and fears. Each person represents a fear that you are having trouble dealing with, facing, confronting, defeating, or conquering.
Let me give you an example…….a husband who is constantly harping on his wife for spending money on what he feels are unnecessary things, worrying about whether or not they will be able to make their bills that month, concerned that the part time job that his wife works isn’t going to be able to bring in enough to help support their family; he is the wife’s fear of lack. His actions and reactions are her fear of not being able to provide for her family and help financially like she would like. So what do you do about it? Well, the tough part is recognizing it. That’s the first step; the second step is to embrace those people in your life that are showing you your own fears. Love them, embrace them, and forgive them because ultimately they are acting out your fears.
Once you conquer your fears you will be more at peace with your life. You will feel more connected to those around you because you will recognize that they are extensions of you, pieces of you. How can you not love them? They are you and you carry the divine spark and you love the divine whatever or whomever you call it.
