People are who they are, expressing their unique beings in this incarnation. We cannot ask and expect others to live up to our standards or demands. They are called upon to act and react in this lifetime in certain patterns of behavior and it is not up to us to make them conform to our ideas of how to live their lives or express themselves. The free thinker acts out from a connection to the Creative Spirit just as much as one for whom a more constraining lifestyle is advantageous. Our choice is to follow our own path and allow others to follow theirs. When we interact with those who are marching to a different beat, we need to learn to respect their unique meter and syncopation and hope that they are inspired to respect ours. We exist to learn from each other in all sorts of situations, some of which may be joyful and others which may test our abilities to maintain our composure. We all are manifestations of the same Creative Spirit and are called upon to learn and grow peaceably within the interdependent web. We are not here to judge others, but, instead, to live together in joy. Namaste! https://www.tobiehewitt.com/contact.html to join my mailing list.

When one door closes, many doors open through which there exist many possibilities and opportunities. Life appears as a series of choices to be made, and each choice contains a lesson to be learned. Although this process seems random at times, it actually coheres to a larger plan suspended within the interdependent web. If we take the second door on the right, we might begin a new relationship; the seventh door on the left may lead to a new job; the fifth door on either side may lead to a change of environment. Each door leads us to more doors and more opportunities for growth. Rather than fearing change, we need to embrace it and trust that we are following the path that is of our own choosing, no matter how serendipitous it seems.

Rather than simply turning the other cheek when we are put in a situation that tests our patience, commitment, or beliefs, or questions our integrity or intent, it is far more beneficial to act from a dynamic of kindness, peace, and love. We do not need to return adversarial behavior in kind, but instead we can draw on the awareness that we are all part of the One. The person who is acting negatively toward us is, in reality, a part of that which we, too, are a part of. When we learn to trust in our connectivity rather than the illusion of separateness, we can learn to act and react with kindness and love.

It is a part of our being to strive to bring everything into conformity with the Creative Spirit, which by its nature is perfect. While our personal perfection is most likely out of our reach in physical form, in the attempt to bring ourselves into a state of our best being, we enter into the state of wellness and wholeness that the Creative Spirit wishes us to pursue. When we send healing to one in physical, mental, or emotional distress, we act in compassion and empathy, exercising these gifts that exist in commonality with the Creative Spirit. When we ask for healing, we engage those same vibrations of intent and learn to rely on the sustaining energy of the interdependent web. We are called upon to become healers of ourselves, each other, and the Earth by utilizing the healing properties that exist within the energy of love.

(Art by Joy Argento; https://www.redbubble.com/shop/artbyjoy We are One within the Creative Spirit that brought all into awareness. When we join together to effect a positive change, we are fulfilling the mandate that is imbued in us by that larger Spirit, of which we are an integral part. When we raise our energy, which is, indeed, the same love energy that sustains the All, and focus it with intent to improve or change some aspect of the world, either in our immediate or the larger environment, we are able to heal others and the world around us and raise others up as we are raised up at the same time. When we act and react cohesively with common purpose and in love, compassion, and kindness, all things are possible. Namaste! https://www.tobiehewitt.com/contact.html to join my mailing list. (Art by Joy Argento; https://www.redbubble.com/shop/artbyjoy Synergy is “The interaction of two or more agents or forces so that their combined effect is greater than the sum of their individual effects.” The word finds its roots in the Greek synergos, which translates as “working together.” Obviously, when nanoparticles, atoms, and molecules come together, they create something greater—e.g., a mug, a mountain, a star, or a human being. The moon is made up of rocks and minerals that are made of a combination of nanoparticles, atoms, and molecules. In its orbit around the earth, the moon is known to exert an effect on the tides. The rocks that compose the moon could not individually cause this effect. Only when they compose themselves into the larger body is synergy manifested. When individuals come together in common cause and purpose, the effect can be greater than if only one person was acting. Positive change can occur on our plane when two or more gather to create a greater good through the energy of love. Namaste! https://www.tobiehewitt.com/contact.html to join my mailing list. (Art by Joy Argento; https://www.redbubble.com/shop/artbyjoy An aspect of reality that is hidden by our limited perception is our connection to those around us and, indeed, to those at great distances from us. Because of the limitations imposed on us through viewing the world with only our physical eyes, we do not see the energy that flows between us and connects us, one to the other. Just as the energy retains the form of the objects around us by maintaining cohesion between the nanoparticles, atoms, and molecules, so too does this energy bind us into one form that exists beyond the limitations of the physical and, indeed is sustained within the spiritual plane of our eternal existence. Through this energy flows our compassion, empathy, kindness, and trust, melding us together into that which is known as the One, the All bound into a single larger entity within the Creative Spirit. The force that binds us, one to the other, is the energy of love. Namaste! https://www.tobiehewitt.com/contact.html to join my mailing list. (Art by Joy Argento; https://www.redbubble.com/shop/artbyjoy As small as a pin hole in a piece of paper is our perspective on that which we recognize as our reality. We can see the mug containing our coffee, but we cannot see the nanoparticles, atoms, and molecules that compose the mug into a form useful for the purpose of conveying coffee to our lips for drinking. We cannot see the cohesive energy that holds the molecules and atoms into form and neither can we see the light that this energy emits as it goes about its work. Further, we cannot see that the nanoparticles, atoms, and molecules create all that we see and all that we are in physical form. And, because of our limited perception, we do not recognize that the energy and its light hold everything together, everything in the universe, everything physical and non-physical. When we practice seeing with the eyes of the heart, our perception widens. Then, we are able to perceive the energy of love that holds everything within the interdependent web.

(Art by Joy Argento; https://www.redbubble.com/shop/artbyjoy Celebrate that the love energy that sustains the universe also flows through you! We are not simply randomly placed in our portion of space, to live and to “die” in some meaningless flash of molecules clinging to each other to create a form that breathes and moves with no more intent than a speck of dust. We are parts of stars, and mountains, and the oceans. We express hope, and love, and dreams that reflect the hopes, and love, and dreams of the Creative Spirit. Each of us is here for a purpose. Each of us fits into the cosmic puzzle that is the universe and if even one piece is out of place, the picture is incomplete and imperfect. You are an integral part of the whole, of the One, of the All. The same love energy that is the Creative Spirit that created all that is, created you, shining as a reflection of the light of the stars.

The moment we broaden our perspective and remember our existence is in reality spirit-based and thus part of a much bigger plan, we have the ability to stop feeling and generating negativity and try to understand the event from a place of peace and tranquility. From this calm place we can bear witness to an event in our lives without casting an emotional judgment on it. We can let it flow around us without impacting our core being. Our physical plane perspective is narrow; our spirit knows our infinite and boundless existence. Namaste! https://www.tobiehewitt.com/contact.html to join my mailing list.
