The universe is this complex amalgamation of oneness and uniqueness that form this perfect dance into the experience we call life.  For while we are all the same, we all have these qualities that make us who we are as individuals.  Yes, we are meant to be individual and we all have a purpose here, but that purpose shrinks when we see the big picture.  It does not diminish it, but it puts it in a different perspective where that purpose has nothing to do with us, it was meant to fit into the grand scheme we don’t fully understand.  I’ve often toyed with the idea that this entire experience is a form of a Mendelbrot set and we are simply infinitely looping on each other, the same design on a bigger being.  But that picture becomes a lot for me to handle so I had to scale it down and look at relationships in general. 

I’ve always been told to be myself and that was a tricky feat because I’m not 100% sure who that is, I’m still working on how it feels to be me, and when I’ve stepped into being me, the current state seems to whip me back into place as it stands.  But there is something we all need to consider: in terms of energy, frequency, and vibration, the things we have in our lives would not be there if we didn’t resonate in some way.  The things we attract come to us because we are of the same vibration.  That means that the qualities we admire in others are also in us.  The things we see others doing that we want to accomplish, we can accomplish as well.  Our current system is a hierarchy with different divisions and so many people are afraid to cross these invisible lines created by titles that we’ve forgotten that we are all human.  Your title makes me no different than you, I have the same capacity, the same ability, just a different experience.  That doesn’t make one or the other better, that makes us complementary, but we are trained to respect and defer to a title instead of honoring the oneness.

I’m guilty of this as well.  I’ve been gifted with a strong sense of right and wrong, and that is one thing I pride myself on because I’ve often been the first one to speak up if someone is doing something wrong to another person or thing.  But I’ve held myself back in situations where it involves my boss or the president of the company or someone who is older/has more experience than me.  I lost sight of the value of my own input and experience and deferred to an imaginary line that someone in a different position or of a different age knows better.  If I’m in the room, my experience is just as valuable.  We are all human.  There is no real authority over anything, just a common social agreement, and even that is falling apart now. 

So now what?  We are in this place where we see the ever-expanding cracks in the systems we created.  We know that it’s illusion.  We recognize that everyone has worth (even if some people are trying to control it and say some don’t have it) and that their words and experience have weight.  The system never accounted for everyone and we know how flawed that is now.  The more we see our uniqueness as a power, and the more comfortable we become with expressing it, the more those lines of authority and hierarchy begin to blur.  That’s a good thing.  As we are evolving, there is little room for blatant displays of power anymore.  It isn’t about power over people, it’s about owning our own power, and that is something that can’t ever be taken away.  Let’s stop deferring to a broken way of being and start stepping into a new era, imperfectly perfect, dancing our steps until we find the harmony with each other.  It’s all a big game anyway.  The infinite universe, inside of each of us, where no one has a say in what we do, we become who we are and expand.  That’s our job.  Blur the lines, then erase them.
