The world has a purpose for each of us. Even though the world is illusion, while we are in it has a purpose, a special function for us. Every situation we encounter, every person we meet, everything that6 seems to “happen” to us has a special function especially for each of us.

This special purpose is designed especially for each one of us. For in each opportunity, there is a lesson for us. We may not understand it or even see it. But, in each opportunity there is a lesson, a message, an ah-ha, that points us in the direction of reawakening to the awareness of who we really are. Each is an opportunity to reawaken to the awareness of Oneness within and around us. Each is the opportunity to let go of the sacrifice of our Oneness with our habitual way of thinking.

Are we alone in figuring this out? Definitely no. But we often think we are alone in the quest. As long as we think we are alone, it will be difficult, for being “alone” in the journey is the antithesis of Oneness and unity. Once we realize that we cannot be alone in this journey, we allow ourselves to accept the help of the Holy Spirit who is waiting for us to simply be willing to ask. Once we are wiling to ask, we find that love pours in from all directions, where it has always been, but we were too focused on separateness to see.

Just for a moment, relax, allow Spirit to guide, experience the love extending to us from all of creation, and let all that is be. We begin to recognize Oneness welling up in us. We begin to let go of our “sacrifice” of Oneness and experience the beauty, peace and joy of who we really are. Look at the world you see. And if it doesn’t make sense, be willing to see it differently. If we open the door even just a little we will begin to see a higher purpose in the world we see. It’s there waiting to guide us back, but we must be willing to let ourselves understand it just a little differently than we think we do. Let yourself see its special function for you.

Oneness is our true nature. Oneness is the essence of our being. We can be nothing other than Oneness for God created us One.

But in this world of illusion, made by our mistaken idea that we are separate, we have lost sight of Oneness. We have lost the awareness of who we really are. When we look at each other, we see each other separate. This is because we see only a tiny little part of the other, and ignore the rest of that one’s whole being. We refuse to see ourselves in the other, and so do not see them as whole. We have deprived the other of ourself, which is the mistake we make that limits the other. And so we likewise deprive ourselves of the other, making the mistake of limiting ourselves.

This is the sacrifice of Oneness. We sacrifice our wholeness to hold something apart for ourselves. We have believed the idea that we must attempt to limit loss, especially for our idea of ourselves. If we believe we can lose anything at all, we have disbelieved who we really are, and believe ourselves and each other limited.

Abandon the idea that we could lose anything real. We are One with God and each other. In Oneness we have all there is and all God created and ever will create. Oneness is unity. It is what we really are and have always been. The Holy Spirit has held this awareness for us and waits, calling softly to us to let Spirit show us and remind us who we really are. Take a moment and listen. Be a little willing to let Spirit show you the Truth. Happiness, Peace, Love, and Joy are there within us waiting to be remembered and experienced. There we find the wisdom to extend the awareness of the Oneness we truly are to each other and celebrate in bliss.
