I had a dream last night that put - well, life - into perspective.
In this dream, hundreds of people were taken from the homes to this big auditorium/living space. We were supposed to figure out why we were all brought there, what we all had in common. I know there's a movie out there that is like that (is it Saw?) So we racked our brains, interviewing each other, trying to quantify the number of males versus females, astrological signs, professions, sexuality, etc. Fights erupted throughout this process, people weren't getting along. My mom, dad, brother, and two sisters were there, and we weren't getting along, either, in fact, I was very angry with my mother the whole time. Toward the end of the dream, after days of dream-time had elapsed, everyone had forgotten our objective. So I stood up, and tried to gather us all, and figure out how we were all connected. And then it dawned on me.
We are all human. We are all one. That is our connection.
Before I was able to make my grandiose speech declaring such, I woke up (of course!). But obviously this was a dream that I needed to have - to remind myself that each of us is no better than the next - that, as the Beatles put it, "I am he as you are he as you are me and we are all together." We each are on a individual journey, to realize our purpose, to reunite us with our highest selves, to rediscover the joy inherent to us. We each experience happiness, sorrow, trials and tribulations. And we are all one - therefore, be kind to your brother, by kin or otherwise. We are all sharing this lifetime together, have likely shared others, and will likely share more. Perhaps you've had the experience of your foe in a previous lifetime, or will still. Let us be aware of this reality, and let us be love.
