Embracing Delicious Diversity

My dear friends, we love you so very much,

Your life, no matter how long, is a tiny sliver of time in the grand scheme of eternity. And yet, it is precious time. Fueled by the Source of life itself, you are given the opportunity to focus yourselves in this time and space, entering a collective consciousness called humanity on a beautiful planet called Earth. Emerging from your awareness as part of the One, you separate into individual beings, each with a unique and beautiful personality, perspective, and point of view.

In your exploration of contrast and diversity, you are inspired to create. Suppose you went to a restaurant with friends and tasted a pie you had never eaten before. You might be inspired to create more experiences with that pie in your life, perhaps by purchasing it and supporting the baker, or by learning to make it so you can enjoy it fresh from your own oven. Or maybe you don’t like pie, and it inspires you to create other desserts. One taste of something different, and you know immediately if you want more or less of it. You become clearer about what you want to experience and what you want to create.

Likewise, as you encounter different people with different perspectives, you feel which ones resonate and which do not. Who do you want to spend your time with? Who do you want to emulate? Who are you inspired to help? Some will be completely opposite of who you want to be, but even in encountering or witnessing them, you learn more clearly who you want to be, what you want to create, and how you want to spend your time.

Your differences inspire new ideas and new possibilities. Your differences make you stronger as a race. Your differences help you create more together than you could possibly achieve on your own. And yet, so many of you fear your differences. So many of you seek sameness at all costs. While, of course, you want to be around those of like mind and heart when it comes to your core values, you would be bored to tears if you shared absolutely everything in common.

In a world where so many are afraid of and divided by differences, you can be the fearless explorers you intended to be. You can enjoy a diversity of experiences. You can be willing to hear others’ perspectives without judgment or even a need for agreement. You can seek understanding and then discern your own truth. You can be right for yourself and allow others to be right for themselves.

You can acknowledge and value the spark of light that lives within all beings, whether you like them or not. You can come and go in love as your lives and desires change. And above all else, dear ones, you can give thanks for the countless beautiful ways you can experience and express love on Earth.

From selecting comfortable shoes to allowing someone into your lane in traffic… from feeding those less fortunate, to creating new technology or works of art… from walking the dog, to rescuing dogs… or simply going to work each day to support a life you enjoy, you can find so many ways to embody this love that springs from within.

As you ponder the possibilities of love upon your planet Earth, we hope it inspires you to spend less time focusing on what does not feel loving to you. Shift your attention to the kind, gentle, and beautiful experiences life has to offer, rather than obsessing about those that are painful or upsetting. Seek out those creating solutions and helping one another, rather than focusing on those spreading dissatisfaction.

Dear ones, your focus is a force of nature. Aim it toward all that you wish to empower, and remove it from what you cannot support. Select from the great diversity of life and choose what feels like love to you.

Earth is such a unique and beautiful reality. Even if you live beyond 100 years, each day is precious—filled with new opportunities to explore, to experience, and to love as you have never loved before.

God Bless You! We love you so very much.
