You are standing in a large circle, holding hands with many people. Feel the connection to Mother Earth grounding through your feet. The Mother Earth is the common bond that connects all the people in the circle. Across the circle stands a young man from a different time period. A soldier from Germany, he facilitates the movement of Jews into the camps. You connect to his Heart. He tells you what it is like to live within his human form and the role he plays. His service is to follow orders without question, because that is his duty. He witnesses many horrors on a daily basis, and has closed his Heart in order to psychologically and emotionally survive. All sense of individuality has been drilled out of him. His role and path will shape and form the path of his Heart, in times to come. As well, his role will serve a greater good, in that it will transform racism on a mass level, bringing global unity. You send him Love. Beside him stands a native woman. She is older, yet not old. From a different time period, her clothing is simple, her hands weathered from hard work. You begin to connect with her Heart. She struggles within her own community to hold her original ideas, to follow the path of her Heart and spiritual beliefs in the face of those who would place a more "civilized" lifestyle upon her, or shun their heritage. She has seen great changes sweep across the lives of her people. Her children, now grown, are following the ways of materialism, greed, competition, and have shunned their heritage and all she has to share. She loves them anyway. You see that the memory of her wisdom will one day reach vast amounts of people, assisting mankind on a large level. You send her Love. An African man stands beside her, dressed in colored cloths. Laughter emanates from his presence. You connect with his Heart, and begin to see his community, the goats he tends, the many children and men and women that are his relations. Very Earth connected, he maintains a cultural heritage and simple way of life that serves a higher good for his people. You send him Love. A woman dressed in modern business attire stands beside him. You connect to her Heart, and see that she works in a high rise building for a huge corporation. An executive, she networks with a vast amount of people. She commutes to work in heavy traffic driving bumper-to-bumper twice a day, is highly stressed, and very frustrated at the little time left over each day to spend with her children. Her children have an aliveness, innocence, and intuitive nature that marvels her, and keeps a spark alive inside her. A spark that glows with the joy of being the mother to such special children. Unknowingly that radiance emanates to all the people she encounters each day, whether in heavy traffic or in a tall building. Sparking aliveness in every person she meets. You send her Love. A logger stands beside her. You connect with his Heart. His love of nature keeps him at his job. Consciously, he blesses the wood of each tree he cuts, knowing the power of the blessing will continue outward to the truck driver, the law mill, the carpenters who transform the wood into structure, and the people who will be surrounded by wood in their homes. He tells no one of his blessings, but continues doing it. Simply because he Loves, and because he can. You send him Love. A woman suffering from alcoholism stands beside him. You connect with her Heart. She suffers with the actions of her past, the pain she's caused others, the humility she endures. Outcast from friends and family, she finds little joy in life, drinking to drown out the mental torment within. She is unaware of the role as catalyst she has played, and how her actions serve to uplift and heal those around her. One day she will realize how much she has learned from first practicing "who she is not" in order to be Who She Really Is. Send her Love. There are many others in this circle, each with a unique story of the Heart to share. Some famous, some living quiet lives. Take time to connect Heart-to-Heart with others in this circle. Some play the role of the catalyst, facilitating great changes in consciousness by taking on difficult roles. Life force, Love, God, Spirit, Source run through all people, individualizing into expressions that affect the greater whole. Rippling ever onward. A strange and wondrous feeling begins to flow through you as you continue holding hands in the circle. A neutral feeling devoid of judgment or criticism, it is the power of Acceptance. How beautifully perfect there are so many individualized expressions in human form, their actions rippling outward and uplifting consciousness in a myriad of ways. There may have been difficult people in your life walk, whose role served as a catalyst to gradually reduce a Truth within. Send them Love. The power of Acceptance, Grace, and Unconditional Love flow through you. It fills you with the Courage to fulfill your special role in humanity. Reflect on the Courage others in this circle have expressed to be uniquely Who They Are. Acceptance is a neutral quality, devoid of judgment, criticism, and trying to place your ideas onto someone else's. Acceptance removes the need to understand others. Acceptance frees you to BE, to continue walking forward, ever on. The trees and grasses keep the soils from washing away in heavy rains. Acceptance prevents our tears of judgment from eroding the Truth each soul is here to share. Linger in this circle as long as desired. Welcome home, and thank you for sharing.
