The Grandest Vision For Humanity

Last four weeks have been full of digital turmoil.. damaged phone, loss of complete data, important information and I sincerely sought for some guidance and help to retain my center amidst the chaos to be able to take the next necessary steps.
Last night got a beautiful start to Deepak Chopra & Oprah's 21 days free online meditation course, which brought me back a bit more into the alignment and balance. The topic of the course is "Desire & Destiny". With the help of it (guided meditation and journaling), I started my process to clarify my intentions and to align my life actions to them.
Then this piece in the morning "spoke" to.me... the word that stands out in this piece is a opportunity to "manifest" in this time and world. I felt a lot of resonance in the synchronicity.
When I opened the newspaper I see Times of India's masthead celebrating my icon of non-violent manifestation Nelson Mandela's birthday today. 17/18th July 2017 will now remain in my memory, as the date of my progress.
Thank you.

We're not unimportant in the sequence of the eternal everything.  Each and every atom, cell, and being is important.  As the author says, each dot and microdot in a painting is part of an intricate scene.  Likewise, each of us is important, and the universe would be different without any one of us.  The universe is expressing and evolving through each of us.  As we know who we are, the universe knows who we are.  I know life and the whole universe are fragile and existence is precarious.  I know the earth and humanity could destruct or could go on and grow further.  Still I have a grand vision for humanity.  I learned long ago that growth is inexorable, that we are here to blossom and become all that we are, not just sustain and survive, and that learning stays with me.  P.S.  The bio says the author is an enthusiast of cognitive psychology.  That's so narrow.  Psyche is life, much more than cognitive.  I recommend life psychology.

 What am I in this vast universe? Who am I in this vast universe? Am I a dot in this vast universe? Am I living organism in this vast universe? From a micro perspective I am a separate isolated dot or entity. From a macro perspective, I am an integral part of the larger whole. And from a cosmic perspective, I am the whole, I am one with the cosmos, I am the cosmos.

When it comes to living in this world, our energy is primarily invested for sustaining and surviving.on a personal and tribal level. Meeting such basic needs creates bonding and interconnectedness.One dot gets connected with another dot creating a string of several  interconnected dots. How do we relate to one another is an ongoing challenge for us as a human kind not only for our survival as human kind but also for the survival of our mother planet. 

We all need to join our heads, hearts and hands to encounter this universal challenge. Wisdom traditions have been urging us to wake up from the illusion of seperateness and learn to relate to the unverse we live in as a family. It is imperative for all of us to learn to live amicably, compassionately and constrctively not only to survive but also to thrive and flourish.

We all need to be awakened and play our part not only for saving but also for thriving and flourishing life in multiple forms. Let us start from where we are and be a part of this evolutionary revolution.  Let us spread the word by reading and reflecting on such writings, by using social media, and by actively patricipating in this movement. This is the time to act. If not now, then when? If not us then who?

May we all join our heads, hearts and hands to be a part of this noble venture!

Namaste!
