2- Something More Than Survival

Your choices and actions resolve possibilities, yielding manifestation. They also influence what's possible in the future. You find this looking at children and the transfer of energy along lineages. You also find it within the many interactions of your life's meandering. Each touch is consequential force, influencing the paths of photons and electrons.

Our passage spins eddies in the ether, alters trajectories by partial degrees. Downstream in time, our minuscule effects shift reality by miles, months, and momentous convergences. Like bumping a cannon before it fires. Oh, how our effects combine! Entire populations sway to an unconscious beat, and we marvel at a dance we've all created with the energies passed on from long ago.

Perhaps you were once a Queen, or her stable boy. Perhaps the stable boy's kindness toward the prince saved the kingdom. Perhaps the Queen hid the stable boy's secret right to the throne. Fragments making ripples. Changing worlds.

What beautiful energies do you cultivate within, and send onward to all yesterdays and tomorrows? Our effects are certainly larger than anything we observe in our immediate human moments. Our current collective struggles show us that the choices of any prior Self meant far more than it understood in its day. More than it could ever hope to understand.

Yet such linear story-making contradicts timelessness. Time is a perceptual game offering another way to experience what we are. Reasoning its machinations is a distraction, like playing a video game while trying to do its math. Embrace the now as you can, and see it all converge within. Recognize your Self and your influence there - across all times - as timeless.

The Earth Is. I AM. You are. We exist.  And the effects of being transcend time and space. Weaving unseen mathematical webs, creating organizing principles within organizing principles.

Let go this preoccupation with past identities and reincarnation chains, and instead recognize each particle of us influences all Earth's possibilities. Right now, forever. Then we see that our consciousness, as devil or saint, sends ripples contributing to all that happens anywhere. To all that's inherited, and to all we'll do with it there.
