One of the mantras of the new consciousness movement is “Oneness,” the idea that we are all inexorably linked as one being through the elemental energy at the basis of sub-atomic reality. It is a concept easier to meditate on than to actually embody and live. And being in Oneness with the guy next to you in yoga class is one level of living in Oneness, but it goes much farther than that. As advanced souls we can go beyond just being aware of our Oneness with people who are like us. We are now at a point in our evolution where we are able to step into the awareness of being in Oneness with everyone whether they think like us or not. Whether they go to yoga class or ride motorcycles, whether they are vegetarian or eat red meat, or whether they believe we are One being or don’t believe we are One being. If you believe it, here is your chance to prove the influential power of living it by example.
When you are evolved enough as a soul that you can see your Oneness with Sarah Palin, then, by George, you’ve got it! An initial level of this awareness is when you can see that you may have influenced Sarah to be who she is today. This is the law of karma in play. Do you know any of your past lives? Do you know how you have shaped world history through the ages? In a past incarnation, who knows what you were up to and how this shaped the thought and belief patterns of the soul who is now Sarah Palin. Maybe you were one of the American Revolutionaries and you were at the Boston Tea Party. Sarah Palin’s soul saw what you did… angry, violent action against the British. Now she is throwing her own Tea Party. See the possibility here? Have we ever considered that maybe we could have worked with the rising British Industrial Revolutionaries on mutually beneficial terms of commerce to create our own independent country? I was one of those British industrialists in that lifetime and we were friends with Ben Franklin and Thomas Jefferson, it could have happened. Instead we went to war and influenced how many other souls who were around at the time and who are now in positions of cultural leadership. So before you throw stones at Sarah Palin, take a double take on who you might have been and what you might have been doing in previous lives that may have influenced her.
A subsequent and even higher level of awareness is next to take ownership of where you are now in your soul evolution and see how you are affecting Sarah Palin today by the energy you are sending her in your thoughts, words and actions. If you are doing the good/bad, right/wrong game with her, then you are living in duality. You can transcend the duality and go to Oneness by being humbled by the idea that you may have influenced her from a past life. Then once there, your heart can open to how you are acting now. If you are labeling, name calling, making jokes about Sarah Palin, that energy is released into the world and affects her and polarizes the situation even more. If you can take responsibility for living in Oneness, you can provide a new example for her to follow, a powerful new model of Oneness and connection with all of life. You don’t have to vote for her, you don’t have to accept her ideology, but see if you can love her as part of yourself and send good intentions for her own soul evolution.
When we can move past the duality and really live like we believe we are One being, we can then have conversations, exchanges and political discourses that are mutually beneficial for all. We don’t need to reinforce the dualistic Boston Tea Party, we need to initiate a new and improved Arthurian Round Table where all are equal and all serve our E Pluribus Unum.
