The Body’s Intelligence Part 6
Our souls are connected to God and, by virtue of that concept, all of us are connected to each other. Yes, our individual essences start from that One Great Essence. The soul connection with others is often felt when like-spirits are together, when souls unite over a birth or a death, or when soul power is required to save a family, a culture, or a nation.
We do not readily see our underlying unity because we sort and categorize people by their different shapes, colors, clothes, cars, houses, genders, sexual preferences, politics, and status. When things shake out, we are left with two big categories. The first is for those who are for us and the second is “the other.” But those categories are temporal. The circle of concern for the unchecked ego is small, but the circle of concern for the soul is ever-expanding. We are all born alike ... naked. And at death we all give up everything of this life except our soul and the love or lack of it we take with us.
Our commonality is demonstrated not only in our souls but in our bodies. We all have the same DNA, the same propensities for health and disease and similar responses to medical treatment. And when in the pandemic, we were reminded dramatically that what happens to one body can eventually affect every other body on the planet. In actuality, the planet as a whole is as healthy as its most vulnerable people. When enough of us become conscious of that fact, we will be able to increase the collective well-being of the human family.
Spiritual practice: Define for yourself who is in your circle of concern.
Self-inquiry: Is my circle of concern shrinking or widening? Why?
Dear God,
May you heal this planet and all of us who dwell upon it. Let us share the knowledge that we are all of the same flesh and must take care of each other. Amen.
