You must have figured out a while ago that we're connected. To EVERYTHING.
I have been conscious of this fact for the longest time, but in my humanity I sometimes forget and all kinds of things start happening to me – like panic, regret, fear - things I don’t usually experience much anymore. When I start experiencing these emotions and negativities, I immediately recognise that somewhere I have disconnected from my community – from “me”.
Look around you, there are communities everywhere.
I think the biggest example of our desire to “be connected” is James Cameron’s success with the movie Avatar, where the characters can bond neurally, where their language doesn’t contain any isolation and when they greet each other they say “I see you” (click here for Leona Lewis singing “I see You” – YouTube) - as a viewer I automatically “got” that it was far more than one of the five senses, but all of them! This movie reached into a longing and a place that has now put it on my all time favourite list.
Another I remember is the movie Powder. Jeremy’s (Powder) gentle insights - as to how we don’t know we are connected to everything, all energy and that we don’t know how beautiful we are - are mind blowing considering that this movie was released in 1995 – in hindsight, it was most likely a movie before it’s time.
Heart Thoughts:
• On your set point scale of 0 to 10, how “connected” are you?
• How do you “show up” when you’re connected, in other words how can people tell you’re connected?
• What or who are you “connected” to and does it serve you? Why?
• Who do you truly want to be “connected” with and if you aren’t, why aren’t you?
Heart Note:
I recently found a group I identify with regarding Gratitude and my interactions with my world. Here is why – this is the pledge. As a member of the World Gratitude Gathering, I agree to the following:
• I agree that a world of Love and Gratitude begins with me. I choose to be a conscious mirror and model of the change I wish to see in the world.
• I agree to consciously set an intention for manifesting something miraculous in my life throughout this process.
• I agree to tap into Gratitude on a daily basis and as much as possible in every waking moment. I know that the rewards of doing so flow through and extend beyond me, strengthening the collective field of Gratitude from which we may all derive benefit.
• I agree to be a consistently uplifting inspiration in all my interactions in World Gratitude. I commit to see and mirror back the greatness of each soul who crosses my path. I choose to discover and nurture the light within so that it may shine forth to others and magnify their life.
• I agree to honor each individual's right to choose their own belief system and life path.
• I agree to be open to both give and receive within this community. In all my dealings, I seek win-win, mutually edifying interactions and transactions.
• I agree to be my word in my exchanges with others. I realize that my personal influence is magnified to the degree I am able to keep my word with myself and others. If something comes up and I decide to change what I had agreed upon, then I agree to make that communication as soon as possible to the affected party.
• I agree to love and enjoy my life as much as possible!
• And, last certainly not least, I agree to be Grateful for ME!
Finally, for today in your special journal, write down your pledge for “showing up” as the authentic you. Make them measurable, only so you can clearly see when you aren’t remembering to “re-member”.
Parting shot… thank you for choosing me to be connected with you!
And PS: Listen to the lyrics of “I see you” – think about them in context to your “community/world” and then take your pulse…… !
In Gratitude
