Awareness isn’t designed to be Appealing

Spirit tells me that living a spiritual life in the so-called real world

Is the same as living a not-so-spiritual life except for awareness of

Choosing how I live the way I do, and how my way of living

Affects my personal health and happiness, and also that of

Everyone else.

 

That’s pretty heavy stuff.

 

What is pretty heavy stuff?

 

Laying a guilt trip on me by suggesting …

 

I’m not suggesting. Everything we do affects everyone and

Everything else.

 

If I am more responsible for others than they are for me,

Just because I’m aware of my responsibility and they may

Not be, then how appealing can awareness be?

 

Awareness isn’t designed to be appealing.

 

Life is an Ecosystem

Spirit tells me that to serve Life is to serve ourselves, for

We are all as one with everyone and everything else that lives.

 

Life is an ecosystem wherein all life is interactive, interrelated,

And interdependent, in the same way that all biological systems

Within the human body are as one unit while functioning as

Seemingly separate systems within systems.

 

We seem to be able to accept that any diseased area within

The human body is a threat to the health and the survival of

The entire human body.

 

Why, He asks me, can we not just as simply accept that

The same relationship exists beyond the human body, and

That interconnectedness of all life forms functions

To sustain the individual life forms through a sense of

Co-dependency.

 

Co-dependency?

 

Yes. We are mutually sustained or mutually destroyed.

It’s as simple as that.
