What we forgot

Seems like just yesterday when you walked down the street, could smile at whoever you want and not be afraid it would be mistrusted as something evil. Seems like just yesterday when I could openly love whoever I wanted and not have to worry about being shot, beaten or chastised.

I still love, I still smile at everyone and compliment when I can, but not without worry about what will happen if the other person decides I'm not sincere. On social media I have friends around the world. All colors, races, religions. I send each one a birthday greetings on their special day, compliment there beautiful souls when I get the chance, and hope for better times ahead for the human race.

I was born White. I was born in the USA. I don't know if I had a say in that when I was a mere energy source but they say we all signed a contract that we would do something when we got here. I haven't found my calling yet. I know that the minute I heard the phrase "Great Awakening" my soul shivered with excitement, energizing my body and making me feel more elation than most things in my life so far.

I know that most people don't believe in such things because they choose to believe in the matrix they were born into. The belief that we are born to be what others portray and tell us to be. The religions they were told to believe are what they say are true beyond a doubt. The things they learned in school are true beyond a doubt. The books they read, the movies they watch, the news that endlessly tells them what is true is true.

I was born white. I have never intentionally hurt anyone else for the color they were born. For the country they were born into, or the life they have led. If you need something, that I can provide, regardless of who you are or what you seem to others, I will give it to you. I am told I live a life of privilege because I was born white. I don't feel that but I also will not argue with you because it is of no concern. I am who I know in my heart and that does not change regardless of what your perception is of me.

I am not a perfect being. Like the rest of humanity, I was born, given a name, a religion, a life. I was told what to believe, what to think, what was right and what was wrong. If my opinion wasn't the same I was punished, told that I must believe what I was being told. I still did not believe I just learned to remain silent and question within. "Why do you believe?"

The world today is full of hate. Full of fear. It happened over night it seems and yet it's been boiling below the surface for centuries of time. Humans have started to question within themselves why things are as they seem, and yet not.

Seems like yesterday that we could work together to make change. We could stand shoulder to shoulder and cry for each others pain. So much division has come to reign. Now I wonder who will survive if they have only themselves to account for. Who will live if they have to look inside and realize what they have done to others. We are all one. When we hurt another we hurt ourselves.

You cannot kill another without killing a piece of yourself. Your soul energy is part of the greater whole and if you harm one you harm all even if you don't realize right now. You will in time. Who will survive? Who will sit in the dark and feel the pain they caused another? Who will have the strength to say, "I did that. I did it because this is what I was feeling, doing or harboring inside my soul" Who will have the courage to apologize for the darkness they created when they knew no other path, and start to heal from within in order to remember the love for the rest of humanity. For we are all one, just reflections of each other. Where we go one we go all. You can deny it, fight about it, hate it, dwell on it, but it will remain so. We are all one. We can destroy each other, but we only destroy ourselves.

I remember like it was yesterday, being able to walk peacefully down the road. Being able to travel, explore, love, make friends, work, play. Did my neighbor take that from me? No. Did strangers take that from me, because they believe in something else? No. Where we go one, we go all. We took it from ourselves by believing that because someone said that we hated each other, we believed. I don't believe. I never have. I am always trying to better myself. Forgive my self for the pain and damage I caused inside. If I am whole I help fix the others. For we are one.

Soon we will find that there is nothing left to do but sit with ourselves and look inside. What will you find there? Religion planted there to divide? False doctrine taught during your life in school? Someone else's words or pain that they made you believe? Soon we will find that unless we learn to love again, without the darkness, without the blame, we are all doomed to continue this life of hate and gloom.

I don't make that choice for I am free to choose. I choose to love, to forgive, to heal. I choose to survive and make a world that is bright, beautiful, peaceful and full of love and abundance for all. This is the world we are meant to live. We are supported, we are loved. Choose wisely as the time approaches for such decisions. Choose the light. Believe.
