Hello there!
It’s been a while since I’ve typed anything. To be honest it’s been really hard to formulate my thoughts into something that made sense about something I’ve been studying – The divine laws of the universe. I was introduced to the law of attraction by a women name Jade I met at an airbnb in Medellin, Colombia eight years ago. On the trip, I read The Secret at least two times. Like most people, the idea was interesting, but it didn’t seem very realistic. And if things didn’t manifest the way I was hoping, the answer would always be a combination of these answers:
“You didn’t do it right” or “You didn’t want it as much as you think did.”
These past two months, I finally learned that the law of attraction is just one of many universal laws that work in conjunction with each other. No law is greater than other. They are all one. They all work together as one. My past mistake was ignoring all the other laws and just trying to use LOA to get what I want – which didn’t quite work. Sure I read the list, but no dive deep or attention was given. I decided I needed to change that.
The Divine Law of Oneness
Simply put, it means we are all connected. “Everything that exists, seen or unseen is connected. Together, we are one. We are divinely inseparable. There is great power, or combined energy, in our collective mind.”
Learning this made me understand that I am the best of humanity but I’m also the worst of humanity. I am also in between. There is no division. Even if on the outside I look very different from my neighbors and think very differently from my own family, they are me and I am them.
Then the harsh reality set in.
That homeless camp under the freeway ramp is part of me.
This women, who has different views than me, is part of me and I of her.
I’m a part of BTS and vice versa. Pretty cool in my book.
And I’m also part of my favorite football team.
All of this is part of me, too. And it’s a part of you as well.
It seems like now than ever there are so many divisions in society. Whether its race, gender, age, class, and others, it’s hard to relook at the world through the lens of “oneness.” In a time where compassion fatigue is a real thing, it feels like a very tough test. A test that I’ve failed, but now I’m aware. I see myself in others and others in me. The same resources on earth is a part of all of us and cannot be hoarded by one person or one entity …for long.
I’ll end this with a quick story. In early August, my family went camping with some friends of ours at Long Beach, WA. We stayed at the RV park with direct access to the beach. To get to the beach you had to walk on a long path through the grassy dune. When my friend walked back by herself, she came back tell us how lonely it felt to be by herself. When I walked back to go to the restroom on my own, I walked the same path and thought, “oh wow, this is really far,” but I didn’t feel alone. The trees and the grass were welcoming and happy that I knew we are all one. What a strange but comforting moment! My next move is to balance my understanding of oneness and be mindful of passing judgement onto others when it really is just a reflection of me. Wish me luck because this ain’t easy!
