The Path to Unity

I’m sure if you drew this path it would not be one you would choose to follow on a map. In reality can it even exist on a 2D piece of paper?

The path to unity spirals and weaves with the sacred fool as the cartographer, choosing to design from experience rather than use ink.

The path to unity is as unique as each individual who chooses to take it. Is it even a path? More your own unique map, like the Marauder’s Map in Harry Potter, magically appearing when you surrender to the life you are here to experience.

The path to unity challenges all that we think and know and drops us deep into a place of mystery. It is a path of self-discovery and not one for the feint hearted.

Is it even a choice? Maybe more a conscious commitment after an awakening moment of clarity, of seeing, of no longer being able to continue going round and round in circles on the map of life given to you by society. The one you have no memory of agreeing to follow. And now you are lost, stuck or tired and want to find your way home.

Following society’s map has led you to believe that unity only happens if we care for everyone. That unity is a concept where we move together, all agreeing and believing the same thing. That unity is something to do. That unity is something to achieve. That unity will save the world. That unity will solve your problems.

And in those statements there is some truth, as there is always a nugget of truth in everything.

Yet what if, taking a new blank map, we decided to carve our own path to unity. What then?

What if we discovered unity is about caring for ourselves first. That unity happens as a result of us each showing up in the world as fully as possible. That unity is about standing by our own beliefs and accepting they will be different to others. That unity is about accepting others being different.

That unity arises from the present moment when you are consciously walking your own unique path. That unity is here already and simply needs tapping into as a resource and salve for your soul. That unity comes from a deep connection and intimacy arising from loving and respecting every being on this earth.

That unity is your birthright and you simply forgot in the Great Forgetting and are now being asked to remember.

That unity is an energy to feel, and to connect to it’s frequency, you need to feel yourself fully, and be responsible for your feelings. That unity is accepting the duality of life we exist in and loving it all at once.

Unity is a string of moments, building on the previous moment, so on and so forth and though we believe we are travelling forward we are spiralling randomly through time and space, with no agenda. Free falling. Surrendered to the life flowing through us and this is where magic lies.

Society isn’t wrong. Society isn’t right. Society simply is. Yet we are at a tipping point. At a crossroads on our tired, scrumpled map. Like the bus in the film Speed, hanging from a precipice waiting to fall.

What is being asked of us? Do you want to hear the questions? Do you want to hang suspended and do nothing or do you want to be part of the solution? Do you see that falling into the void, or pulling ourselves back onto the path we were on, are both viable options? Which option scares you the most? Could it be that is the better option? The path of greatest resistance? Or the path of least?

Society keeps most of us seated. Too scared to move. Trapped and looking to someone else for a solution. Yet you are a passenger. Witnessing life. You are in it and it’s time to engage.

What part of the solution are you holding?

If you were to let go, surrender and trust what would you offer from your heart?

Maybe a hug. Maybe a genius solution. Maybe a prayer or song. Maybe a creative idea. Maybe stillness. Maybe passionate anger. Maybe grieving tears.

Unity asks us to offer up all the pieces of ourselves freely and without shame. It asks us to protect the weak and vulnerable and to strengthen each other through love and understanding. To uphold and respect each individual for the sovereign being they are. To honor individual choice. To stop waiting to be saved. To stop waiting to be released from our pain.

Unity says there is no right or wrong in the moment as they must exist together, for them to exist at all.

Unity is calling you … are you ready?
