As I was reading Gary Zukav’s Seat of the Soul, he described
a concept that I have struggled with before. It’s the concept of being
ONE. It is hard to wrap our human minds
around this concept and one of my quandaries has always been that we often hear of ‘Old
Souls’, which points to time and age, and if we are ONE, wouldn’t we all be the
same age? Gary used the analogy of the Ocean to explain.
Imagine the ocean. The ocean is whole, but if we take a cup
of water out of the ocean, then we have a separated piece of the ocean. That
cup of ocean water may be taken from New York or Florida or North Carolina or Hawaii, so
the experience of that cup of water will be different because the shore that it
came from is of different experiences.
When we think of it this way, we can see how we can be
individual AND one with the “All That Is”. The life or age of that particular and
separated cup of water will begin on the day that it was taken out of the
ocean. This explains the age of the ‘cup of ocean water’ being a different ‘age’
than the ocean. That cup of water will experience different situations than the
ocean as it makes its way around new surroundings.
We can then also understand that each of the separate
droplets of water are what make up the whole ocean.
It might be easier to be kind to each other when we can see
that we are also all part of the one human whole. I hope this helps others to maybe
understand this very important message.
Have a great Friday Peeps!
