Elynn Diamond submitted, "…here's my question, of course one that does not need an answer... It’s one of those questions that I already know the answer and yet, I feel I want to share with another person in this moment of time, and I am choosing you.....so, my question is: What is it gonna take for everyone to just love one another without any fear or need to shut down!” 

Hello Elynn,

Thank you for sharing yourself. It’s a wonderful opportunity that helps us to look and remember a perspective on what we are doing here in the life.

In my opinion, we don't really want complete harmony. If harmony were all we had, it would disappear. You might wonder how we can say this with confidence. The answer is simple. Given that everything is one and all-inclusive, including that we are the creators and created onto thee and ourselves, we intend everything. Therefore, if a thing or experience exists, it's supposed to be there.

You might ask still, "Why or how do we perceive disharmony if we are love and if love is all there is?" The answer is that we know how to create reality - spaces of experiences that we conjure with an arsenal of tools that we call illusions. Knowing all things, we are beginning to remember that all things are perceivable by virtue of their comparison to something else. It's the only way. Therefore, we conjure the experience/illusion of disharmony so that we can create a reality where we can feel harmony. The experiences of disharmony are provided by illusions, not by truths. Imagine the illusions are real to the extent that we experience them; however, they are not truths.

Being smart, we also know that we can use the experiences/illusions available in the contexts of individuated bodies to intentionally stand distractingly close to the microcosms. The distractions blind us. This is the "how" part. We must stand distractingly close in order to believe there's such a thing as disharmony. Therefore, we conjure the physical domains to keep us close to the distractions, so that we are less readily able to see the big pictures. We see less than ants see while they hustle in the footprints of elephants.  We don't see the footprints and we don't know that there are elephants. That's not an accident or a mistake. We design it that way.

Everything related to the paths, explorations, endeavors, including our sharing now, are what we want from being tiny. Otherwise, we'd be aware and have neither purpose nor either an impetus to engage. We choose life because it's rich and spicy in the engagements. Eventually, we'll remember that life is most rich and most spicy when we are most vulnerable. That time will mark an end of endless endings and a beginning of endless beginnings.

Thank you for the opportunity to look and remember! <3

Elynn Diamond, performing artist, holistic arts life coach, friend and partner in the endeavors to remember that we are all one and love asked me what I meant by “Namaste” in closings. Elynn enjoys closing her communications with “time and love”. I share a perspective on that here, as well.

Namaste is loaded because of the connotations that come with it. The backdrop of it is that we are one, organically. So, imagine all the yumminess that comes from there.

To me, "Namaste" means my higher self recognizes and honors your higher self. Remembering that we are one, including all things, by engaging, we remind each other that we are rich and resplendent. We celebrate that in the present moment. Loving is really the only way to be about it because we are the love. Imagine we are one and love - One Love. Albeit redundant, I say "Lovingly Namaste" as a meditation tuning into the love that we are. Just thinking about it right now makes me giggle and cry at the same time.

Namaste represents gratitude, as well, such that I am grateful for the beautiful and magnificent flavors of light that flow through you; and I thank you for sharing them with me. I can only experience them through you, and given that we are one, our sharing fulfills me and makes me whole. Perhaps, that is what Elynn means by "time." The time is the space in which we share the gifts of love that we are. Since all of us are one and love, we can say that "time" is the space of being pummeled by the awesomeness of us.

Eventually, expressions or greetings/salutations like "Namaste" will be embedded in us and be expressed beyond words by our way of being together. We will be so present and connected that we will be reeking, dwelling, reveling and celebrating in it always and all ways.

Thank you for the opportunity to look and remember.

Lovingly Namaste,
