Same but Different

We just need to see it...

Hello Dear Friend,

How are you this week? I hope you are well and looking after yourself and those you love. This week I want to broach the subject of those we don’t love. I have been quiet about the state of the world and the recent elections in the US. This doesn’t mean I haven’t felt the pain, the anxiety and the fear which has bubbled out from social media, the news and elsewhere.

At times like these it can be very easy to ‘other’ the people who don’t think like we do, who don’t vote the same way or don’t seem to hold the same values as we do. This is what I wanted to talk about this week, so bear with me.

Energetic Bodies

We are, at our core, energetic beings.

the layers of the auric field, as described by Barbara Ann Brennan and according to the twelve-chakra system

Many of us know about Chakra and Energy Fields, and how these can be affected by our physical bodies. Each auric layer gives off a subtle energy field, and they can become blocked, leading us to be stuck in a particular situation or feeling. The best clearance for these is meditation. Why am I telling you all this? Because the energy fields given off by others can, and do, affect us, even if we are not fully aware of it. Have you ever felt depressed or helpless after watching the news? Do you know someone who leaves you feeling drained after being in contact with them? These are all examples of the effects of the energy fields, bear this in mind.

Love Thy Neighbour

I know it can be hard to accept people who believe/vote/act in a way that feels alien to our views.

But at our core, we are all energy.

We are all the same energy.

I believe that we are all energetic sparks of the universe and that when we leave our earthly bodies behind these energetic sparks return to the ‘divine’, or ‘core’ or ‘heaven’ or ‘universe’. Whichever way you wish to describe what follows our earthly adventures.

At our core, as humans, we all want the same thing.

We want love, safety, shelter, and to be understood.

It is the last part which can be difficult…

Very difficult…

But here’s the thing -

They don’t have to like us back. So long as we can try our very best to accept that we are all the same sparks of the divine, seeking the same things from this world - love and safety, there is hope.

We all want to be loved.

We all want to look after our family and loved ones.

We all want food on the table and a roof over our heads.

Even if all the ‘others’ do is spit hate and misunderstanding at us, we need to stand firm. Don’t allow their hate and anger to affect you. Stay calm, and when you encounter rage - even road rage - take a deep breath, and send that person love and understanding. You do not walk in their shoes and have no understanding of how they are feeling, the same way as they do not understand you.

Love is one of the highest vibrations, and it can, and does overcome many obstacles.

Send love out into the world.

Allow that to be your beacon.

Your touchstone, your legacy in this life.

Anger and Fear just create more of the same - Love can undo this.

Send out Love.

Send angels, send love, and send blessings to all you encounter as you live your life.

It probably won’t change much in the short term, or maybe even in the long term.

But, you will, hopefully, feel calmer, and you will feel the love returned to you by those who feel the same way.

❤️❤️Remember we are all the same energy, from the same source, with the same needs. ❤️❤️
