we are one
Understanding Oneness
Level Of Consciousness
Sometimes we look at the actions of others and find it difficult to understand what motivates them. But we are all doing the best we can with the information we currently have. We have all been taught how to see the world from the examples of those around us and by our experiences. Keeping this in mind, we can accept the choices made by others while seeking ways to increase the world's level of consciousness as a whole.
Our different levels of consciousness are like the developmental stages of children, whose understanding varies according to their age and experience. For example, the behavior of a two-year-old who doesn't want to share can be understood as a phase of his social education, whereas a 16-year-old who behaves in the same manner would be thought to be acting childish. It is important to remember that we are each on our own unique path. We may have chosen certain lessons or made an agreement to play certain roles in the unfolding of the world's understanding before we incarnated in this lifetime. So our job is not to judge others but to shift the balance of understanding in the world by increasing our own.
Every thought we have and action we take becomes part of the collective energy of the planet. When we use our energy to bring light into the world, it combines with the light brought by others to dispel the darkness. Though we live in a world of duality, which helps us to experience the material plane, we don't need to experience extremes to understand them. We can share our experiences and understanding with others not from a place of condescension but of connection. When the entire family of humanity understands that each of our thoughts, choices, and actions affect us all, we will share an incredible level of consciousness-one that puts our oneness above all else and helps us evolve into higher expressions of our spiritual selves. Remember the next time you witness an action of another that they are of the same earth as you but simply on a different conscious level at this point in their life. Find compassion, bless them, and move along your day in grace.

Well stated. I agree. Case in point: Last fall after my elderly mother fell, was admitted to the hospital and ultimately a nursing home I found myself in a negative situation with other family members. Because I am so different from them, I basically had lived my life apart from them for years. They are all have a fundamentalist mentality. I became the object of an attack...it blew me away. I expected them to be more understanding, given I was the one with the responsibility for my mother. My father is dead. My sister is dead. My brother is in jail. There was just me left to make the decisions for Mom, and at first it was mind blowing. In the months since that time I have had to distance myself from these other family members...it's the only way I could get back to the Oneness feeling that I know is true. It saddened me that we could not be close during this time. But I am not them. They are not me, and we are at different levels of growth.
Since that time I've learned that many of them are drug and alcohol dependent. That saddens me. But someday they will grow beyond their limitations. I just don't think it will be this lifetime.
