Lesson 245: A Rock is Not Good...

Today we are to once again think about the concept of “being good”. As the title suggests, a rock is not good, nor is a tree, a mouse, a fly…. This list goes on. All these beings are part of the Oneness without really doing much but existing or living. It’s to understand that down to core, we are all the same energetically. We are no different though we may hold different vibration. We are all One.

I like being challenged on this concept of having to be categorised as “good” or “bad”. This construct that society houses us in. It definitely goes against my teachings and that in order to drop away this belief system, honestly will take time. The concept of Oneness from these courses have definitely opened up the idea of interconnectedness. We are all one in the same when it comes to energy though for me the differences come through influence, thought and circumstance. Like a mouse’s instinct may be to hunt and survive. A mouse wouldn’t think about its day like I would about mine. We can be a collective energy though I think we all play different roles in the make up of our co-existence.

I think as humans, we have the ability to ripple effect thoughts, feelings and emotions upon others. We can practise love and happiness to a friend and have that spread. A revolutionary leader can lead an uprising through uplifting conscious thought towards a cause. A political leader can earn support through actively campaigning a policy. This is how Oneness is clearly demonstrated by a collective. This demonstrates my point of that energetically we can all be the same though we may vibrate differently based on our environment.

Back to the concept “good” and “bad”. We all know there is a light and dark side to one’s self. There is no denying this. But we shouldn’t consider the light as “good” and the dark parts “bad”. The idea is that it’s a state of being. We have continuous flow of either light or dark in our lives and it’s the acceptance that this will always be. Just because you see someone doing good deeds and always being nice, does that constitute a “good” person. We are to think that they are vibrating energetically differently to another through acts of kindness and compassion. They could easily have an off day where they are rude and unfriendly and then be considered a “bad” person. The concept of “good” and “bad” is so quick to categorise and segregate. If we do away with these types of labels, accept the light and dark parts of self, then it allows the concept of Oneness and we are all one in the same when we experience light and dark, to open us acceptance on a greater level.

What are your thoughts on this?

Lesson 244: Heart of Connection, Oneness...

“Heart of connection, Oneness, does not imply morality, being helpful or being “good”. It instead means that you accept, define, recognize yourself as One with all others. Morality isn’t a part of this view.”

— Sara Wiseman

Today we are to think about dropping the misbelief that we all must be “good”. It may actually go against the grain of your make-up because we are taught in this way that things are good and bad.

I think this is a topic that has depth to it and challenges your frame of thinking. It suggests that through Oneness, we are just One with others. It’s cycling energy and although some people have lows, whilst others have highs, we are all an embodiment of One in its natural flow. Emotions, feelings and experience is definitely not the same from one person to the next in this exact moment, though we would cycle through the same emotions, feelings and experiences as each other over time. It’s an acceptance that through Oneness that we are more connected and the same than we think we are.

I’ve been saying lately that I want to do good things so that good things will come. Don’t worry, we’re all in this same mindset right? Based on this lesson, I’m thinking about how I can shape this into a different belief. I think over the journey of this course, the answer is definitely within that. The way I think I can shape the misbelief of being “good” is to just simply:

·         Treat others the way I want to be treated

·         Show kindness and compassion to others

·         Be understanding of people’s situations

·         Reserve judgement

·         Be accepting and tolerant

·         Be aware and mindful

This allows me to continue to experience through the Oneness without classifying my actions as neither good or bad, but just accepting that this is a state of being. If I live my life like this, then it can also radiate out like a ripple effect to influence us as One. If we are collective, let’s put into practise a better way of existence.

What do you think you have to do in order to do away with the concepts of being “good” or “bad”?
