 Live in each moment! Celebrate that moment as if it is the only moment! Be in the totality of that moment and fill it with the joy that fills you as you realize your place in the universe. Look up at the stars and down at the blades of grass and know that you are a part of these and they are a part of you. And if the stars and the blades of grass are of the same substance as you, shift your awareness and know that each person you encounter is also of that same substance, that everything and everyone is part of the same cosmic family, living in the illusion of separateness, even as the illusion of space and time supports our physical reality. How is this possible? Because we are all—the stars, the grass, and our selves—existing together, bound in the interdependent web through the energy of love.

 When we realize we possess the gift of awareness, we are filled with a joy that surpasses earthly joy. It is spiritual joy, which is expressed and expanded across the interdependent web and has been doing so since the Creative Spirit actualized the energy of love. This joy fills the very core of our being where our spirit lives while we are on the physical plane and it reaches out toward others. When we allow ourselves to feel and celebrate the bountiful blessings of the universe, which shower upon us as a soft and refreshing spring rain, in gold and silver sparks of love, we feel our spirit not as a separate entity, but as a part of the All. When we share our awareness of spiritual joy with others, we offer them a path to finding that love energy within themselves.

 The practice of gratitude allows us to become more than we are by opening ourselves up to receive. When we are grateful for what we have and who we are, the Creative Spirit is able to respond with plenitude and fullness. Generosity and gratitude exist as balancing forces in the universe. It is said, as you sow, so shall you reap. This means whatever you put out into the world, you will receive back in like kind. To assure a constant flow, the energy of gratitude opens a passageway through which we send and receive. Keeping ourselves open to this energy flow allows us to become the best we can be and to have our needs and wants met. As we send love out, we in turn receive love back. When we are compassionate, we are shown compassion. Kindness is met with kindness. Gratitude creates a never ending cycle of giving and receiving within the interdependent web.

 When walking, walk. When baking bread, bake bread. When sipping tea, sip tea. When we concentrate on what we are doing when we are doing it, we are living in the moment, mindful and aware. This awareness allows us to experience now while consciously acting in that moment. By paying close and intimate attention to whatever we are doing, we enter into a connection with the interdependent web and, thus, with the reality in which spirit exists. For spirit, whether incarnate or discarnate, now is the only time that exists. But for spirit incarnate, it requires effort to focus on that moment, and for spirit discarnate, it is simply the manner of being. This is why, when speaking with a discarnate spirit, time seems to exist in flux, rather than linearly. They try to speak in terms of time that the incarnate spirit can understand, so the now they are speaking of may be 30 years ago or 10 minutes in the future. When spirits speak with each other across the veil, by remaining mindful, we can share the camaraderie of existing in the ever evolving now.

 When we pray, it does not matter in what language we do so, or to whom, or what our belief system is. When we ask the Creative Spirit, by whatever name we call that entity, to help or to heal one or many in need, we send our appeals out via the energy of love along the radials of the interdependent web. In doing so, when our prayers join together with shared intent, miracles can occur. The ill are healed, the suffering are soothed, and those grieving are filled with solace. When those from different paths join together in prayer, it is like a beautiful garden of fragrant flowers of different colors and scents. Prayers offered in love and compassion affirm and sustain our connection and commitment to each other regardless of the diversity of expression.

 We have all felt love, either expressing it toward another person or receiving it. It is a warm and glowing feeling that makes us feel happy, secure, and complete. When we think of the emotion of love, we think of sharing it with a relative, a friend, or a special someone. In other words, the emotion of love is expressed between individuals. The energy of love, on the other hand, is expressed in a more all-encompassing manner. It is an energy that is sent out broadly, without a specific person in mind, but rather, toward the world around us, including not simply people, but all living beings, animal and plant alike. The energy of love swells from within us and reaches out toward the All. Close your eyes and try sending the energy of love out from the area of your heart chakra. Do not think of a specific person, but rather, send it with no specific recipient in mind. As you feel this love energy expanding, you will begin to sense a strong feeling of love coming toward you, filling you with an undeniable feeling of fulfillment and peace. When we send the energy of love outward throughout the interdependent web, we receive an abundance of radiant love energy in return.

 When we work to promote and sustain the greater good, we serve the Creative Spirit by acting through the energy of love. Anything that we do to grow peace, hope, faith, and joy in others moves us closer to actualizing our own best selves and raises the world’s paradigm to a higher level. In service to others, we create connections that are stronger than steel and that exist beyond time. When we allow the voices of hate, distrust, destruction, and prejudice to permeate the air around us, our own vibrations react to the tinge of negativity. When we raise our voices to promote peace and cooperation, we are able to overwhelm that dark sound with the brightness of our loving harmonies, and our auras glow with the light of love. We do not exist alone, as separate beings. We are integral aspects of the Creative Spirit, and as such have a duty to act in love and kindness.

 Change, when it is sudden, like lightning on a calm day, can alter our sense of reality. Because it is that sense that sustains our day-to-day life, we shudder with fear and trepidation at what the future may hold for us. Will our lives continue in any manner that we can recognize? We can feel alone, questioning our very existence. In such a situation our path can shift dramatically, rocking us out of our complacent illusion of security and providing us with the opportunity to become more than we have been, shifting our paradigm and forcing us to inspect our lives from a new perspective. Sudden change can be frightening, surely, but knowing that we are sustained within the interdependent web serves to keep us strong as we meet a new future within the sustaining energy of love and hope.

 Those in human form seem to need the idea of punishment and atonement in order to assuage their feelings of guilt over thoughts and actions that are not subject to moral judgment in the larger, interdependent web. When we are small, we believe that stepping on a crack will break our mother’s back. We may even feel guilt when we err and do indeed step on that divide. As we grow older, we realize there is no correlation, but we retain the idea of guilt and the need to atone. This idea of atonement for “sins” translates into some believing that every natural disaster is somehow punishment for the actions of a few or of the many. The Creative Spirit does not require atonement, knowing that no tragedy occurs to punish, but solely to allow for growth and enlightenment. When disasters occur, we are called to act as our higher selves in compassion and empathy through the energy of love. Namaste! https://www.tobiehewitt.com/contact.html to join my mailing list.

 When one is touched by disaster and tragedy, we are all touched by the same challenges. Nothing happens in isolation, everything touches everything and everyone else. What touches one, touches the All. Our responsibility is to reach out across any ideologies or other differences that divide us and realize the commonality of our physical experience. In sharing the burden of another, we ease their load, their distress, and instead of adding their troubles to our own, we are able to lift these up to the Creative Spirit who, knowing that even the most destructive occurrences are yet part of an illusion created to serve the mandate for growth, washes away our shared distress through the energy of love.
