“What is it that you find most beautiful about being human?” she asked.
The Universe answered,
It’s been long, my dear.
You are a joy.
Your thoughts are a pleasure and I feel honored to be the recipient of your rumination.
I see you have developed yourself beautifully and the seeds of creativity & eloquence bestowed on you before entering the physical realm are nurtured well in this lifetime.
You have asked me a question, a rarity by nature – encountered like a drop in the ocean of infinite millennia. “What is it I find most beautiful about being human?” – you peruse.
There are many ways I can answer you, but I have chosen one that will resonate with you best.
As a human being –
Your body has one hundred trillion cells.
Two-thirds of your composition is NaCL – or salt water – where your joints and internal structures are safely lubricated.
Your body is strategically organized in thirteen major organ systems – the digestive, respiratory, skeletal – individually performing a different function.
Your spine supports you, liver for detoxification, gastrointestinal for nutrient digestion, lungs for exhaling carbon dioxide in exchange for oxygen needed through your blood.
They work non-stop on your behalf. Whether you are awake or in slumber. These functions keep you alive and rarely do humans acknowledge the cellular workings that allow them to witness another Sunrise.
Despite its majesty, an auto-pilot body sustaining day-to-day existence is not the best part of being human. Not even close.
You see, all these are reasons to be grateful to the human body. But you’re not merely a lump of flesh. There is more to you than simply being a heart linked to a labyrinth of arteries.
Imprinted in the memory of each organ lies a subtle energy. Subtle energy, well, how do I describe this. Think small ants. The tiniest of them all divided by a billion.
In this dimension your physical body emits an energy and extends meters beyond your skin. That is your inner and outer radiance and the essence of who you really are. Your ‘vibe’ your Aura. You are Light.
Do you know how old Light is? Let me answer for you – very old.
As Light, your body simultaneously exists in a plane of the Infinite since Creation.
You are part of a larger Cosmos and nothing is coincidental.
Even the 24-hour circadian cycle of sleep and waking is in accordance to the rising Sun. Your body is a physical manifestation that does not limit you are only ‘here’ and others ‘there’ – as the linear mind thinks.
You are interconnected in the fiber of Everything. It’s all One. We are all One.
This is what I find best about being Human.
You have the touch of the Divine.
You are inseparable in the very pulse of Me – The Universe.
I understand there is Pain in this realm because I feel it when you cry. But there is also Joy here. And there is Healing.
You have the Free Will to choose between Good or Evil. The moment you were born you took part in this war of Dichotomies. You can spend a life hurting others, but you are only hurting yourself in that process, too.
Show Compassion. Exhibit Empathy. Because you deserve the riches of having a Heart that beats for Humanity expressed through your Divinity.
The Unknown is Here & Now. And as we engage always remember you are not merely a Body. Not only a daughter, a friend or sister, either. Not only her job and duty, clothes, mistakes or music preference.
But A Soul — With Purpose.
Take Courage. Take Courage to lose grip and slip into the Masterpiece of this All.
Trust I will be There.
As I always Have.
As I always Will.
Love Eternal,
Your Universe
