One thing that the current situation shows us is how connected we all are. We breathe the same air, we drink the same water, we walk on the same earth, we swim the same seas, we see the same sky. We are unified and we are unity. This is what the ancient initiates knew and indigenous people know. This is what lightworkers know. This is what everyone knows, actually, but we forget. We fall into the illusion that it’s us against them, that we need to compete, fight, own more, be safer, do better, improve, and learn individuation through separation. Since we’re not actually separate, this makes us fearful, and fear makes us jealous and greedy instead of good. We create abyss between us instead of manifesting our essence, which is cooperation. Any inequality of basic human necessities affects us all, not just those who suffer. What is essential to one is essential to all. If the village well is poisoned for personal profit, much more is poisoned than a handful of people who rely on that well for existence. The concentric ripples that move outward, exponentially, through the neighborhood, the region, the country, and even into outer space continue to radiate and influence. Sharing, as we learned when we were children, is not about being satisfied but being good. And we’re good not because we want personal approbation but because in our heart of hearts we’re aware that the greater good is our personal good. Seeing how this virus works, seeing how it ripples out and affects every single one of us in one way or another, brings our connectivity starkly into focus. If there’s one single thing I’m grateful for during this time it’s watching our entire species grow aware of how connected we are, how responsible we are for each other. We see clearly that what happens in one place has a crucial effect elsewhere. Our very humanity is like a beehive—yes, we each have our personal roles, our responsibilities, our experiences, but it’s still one beehive.
