Now Playing: What If God Was One of Us-Joan Osbourne
Topic: Looking Back
In an infinite universe, there are infinite possibilities. As a body that represents a point where a strand of time crosses a strand of space, we see things from the perspective of our experience. Human beings play out as many conditions as they possibly can, some choosing the path of "success", some atone for past lives. We interact,and learn and teach each other all the way through.
There is no way that one person can come into the world without affecting at least one other person (the mother is changed forever-therefore is the strongest bond). Even if you don't think that what you do matters...I assure you-IT DOES.
Just on an etheric level, when you do not allow yourself, since we are a collective, to use your talents, you slow everybody down!!! Everytime you do something positive, it adds to the collective as well.
In this society, we have learned to become so "self-reliant", that we often don't know that we can actually get help somewhere. We are a nation of survivors. Our forefathers and mothers came here to have the opportunity to rise above. With that kind of entrepeneurial spirit comes some awesome entrepeneurial responsibility!!! (Not that I know anything about that!)
What happens, when you are not up to the task? Depression, anger, frustration, futility. What happens if you are removed from family. what if you remove yourself from friends. Then try to forget that they are there. You stop answering call, strike their names from your personal records. Get rid of the photos. You live alone. You pay bills way ahead of time, you don't have to go out much. You become shrewd and reclusive.
I can tell you, that as hard as you try to erase the memories you shared with the people that had been around you-you shared them!!! And they remember. And they care. And no one can ever be TRULY alone...because you are part of all of it!!!
