This isn’t the newest of news, but good ol’ Science, as a result of extensive Scientific based experiments no less, has confirmed that the genetic make-up of the human race is 99.99% identical. And, of that very minute 0.1%, 94.0% of the variation was amongst individuals from the same population and only 6.0% of the variation was between those from different populations.
Translation; but for our ability of sight, we are all the same.
Granted on the surface, we can look very much different from one another, the truth is that it is an enormously miniscule measure of our whole that creates our physical uniqueness. Beneath what we see, we are no different from each other.
Yet, there are moments (many moments) whereby it seems as though the seven billion of us inhabiting this planet view each other as though we’re from seven billion different planets.
But, why?
The more I think on it, the more it feels like I don’t understand. I don’t understand why much of the world is against each other. Hatred, violence, war, racism, abuse, the list goes on. And, of course, there is great peace, harmony and Love in the world but, truthfully, it’s not enough. Quite plain and simple, it’s just not enough. And, it won’t be until we all feel the same.
Seven billion people didn’t just show up on this place out of nowhere. Whether you believe it or not, like it or not, we’ve all come from the same place. Even think of it this way; if it was Adam and Eve or a fish that climbed out of the ocean or a mass of gaseous particles that imploded upon itself, in some way, shape or form, we’ve all come from the same place. We are all connected. It’s both the faith in it and the Science of it.
Often, we choose not to subscribe to either doctrine. We choose the option that is all about our self. And, not the self that feels fulfilled by giving to its fellow man, but rather, the self that is fraught with fear, knowingly or not.
There’s an option we can choose that supports the idea of our connectedness; of all seven billion of us being on the same team. Really, in theory, there is nothing that can be done to you that you do not have the choice to respond to with kindness, forgiveness and Love. You only need you to believe that we are all the same; that you are everyone and everyone is you. It seems as though the only answer for success is for us all to fall in line with this ideal, but it’s not. If you truly believe we all share our existence together and as I put, “you are everyone and everyone is you”, then doesn’t your world only require you to act on this?
There is no separateness other than what we’ve created for ourselves to fulfill whatever empty promise we’ve believed. All the cruelty, persecution and hate we send out into the world just boomerangs back to us. Whatever we send out there has no choice but to find its way to its source. It’s simply because there is no “seven billion” of us. There is just one. One beautiful, all-knowing, all-Loving tree, with seven billion branches.
Be Love.
