Sense the Spirit

"When you are present you can sense the spirit ...

the one consciousness in every creature...

and love it as yourself.'

Eckhart Tolle

Plopped down, sitting like a lump, and totally disconnected is not being present.  One must be aware, not zoned out.  While being present we are sensing spirit in all things and blending into the combined energy.  We have the feeling that we a part of all energy, and not separate.

As a Christian, the instant we judge, we fall out of definition.  As a spiritualist, as soon as we criticize an individual for anything, we are no longer in oneness.  We cannot help notice darkness, but we can begin to quietly emit light and compassion.  By nature, we  forget to honor and respect. It takes deliberate thought to remain aligned with all people, things, and places.

We can obviously choose not to agree, but we do not need to persecute either. When we place our lovely self 'above' another, our descent has already started.  Rather than creating expectations of others, we can await to see what they unfold.  It's okay not to understand and simply remain in oneness observing and not extending our energy.
