POLARIZATION

And the clock strikes eleven and I arise from my meditative state. Well it starts out as mediation but evolves into a cat nap. I have had a perfect Morning. I awoke feeling great and have maintained that feeling. I have read some inspirational stuff on the internet that has added to the good feeling.

The dragon flies were swarming outside my window a few minutes ago. I wonder if that is why we don't have any mosquitoes. Ever since the fireflies emerged I have been expecting the little pest. They usually follow the emergence of fireflies. Over a week ago I was on my way to Mora and I stopped to ask couple of guys if they needed assistance, I thought they were having trouble with their car, they said, “If you can stop the mosquitoes from biting we would appreciate that.” I could see that they were being plagued by the little pest. There was not anything wrong with their car, they were trying to put up a sign. That was about a mile from here, one would think we would have them too. It is great to enjoy the yard and deck without needing to swat.

Are we really as polarized as the media, especially the social media makes us out to be? I have never seen it so extreme. The demonization of some individuals doesn't quit and it doesn't matter what they say, do, or believe. Whatever it is, it is wrong and the rest of us should be on the other side.

I don't see this degree of polarization in the folks around me. Is it possible the polarization is encouraged by the same folks who have been slicing and dicing us all along? Keeping folks fighting with each other is the age old tactic of those we refer to as the cabal.

It is just a clown show and we can ignore it. I read other things that make me think the awakening is gathering steam. We don't want anymore war. We don't want anymore us and them. We want to work together to bring everybody's life up. We know we can!

Living as if we are some kind of separate beings is getting more and more absurd. How do we teach people to appreciate Oneness? Everybody at some point in their life experiences it. Perhaps as a small child they feel oneness with members of their family. Perhaps they were in groups where they felt as 'one'. Many groups encourage this feeling but it is often in opposition to another e.g. sports.

Regardless of our religion, philosophy, or lack of such, we all come from the same source. Whether we look at it biologically, spiritually, whatever, we were all shaped the same and took our first breaths is a similar manner. At what point did we decide we were separate?

Some of us see the source as Nature, some say God. Is there a difference? I see the only difference is the appellation we apply to the source. Whether we see it as Nature or God, the difference comes with how we see it. Seeing Source as Love makes all the difference.

Everyone has to discover what Source is by themselves. Guidance helps. Many folks have discovered through meditation that they have a place inside them of peace. Deep peace. It is easy to see it as love.

I have been in and out of atheism, agnosticism and explored many isms. I have read the text of most of the worlds religions. As a therapist I have talked to people who have had near death experiences and I have used hypnosis to explore the possibility of reincarnation.

At some point I came to accept that the Great Creative Energy that everything emerges from is Unconditional love. And Love is the only energy there is. It would be nice to agree on a name for this Source, but we should not quibble about it. I am comfortable about using the name God, others are not. It doesn't matter we can change our perception we can't change the Source.

Our Oneness comes from the realization that we all come from Source. We are one with Source and therefore each other.

Let us not get seduced by divisiveness. We can have the world we want. We just have to admit that we do love each other.

Love and Peace, Gregg
