Belief #2:
We Are All Connected
by Marnie L. Pehrson
Because of what we discussed in Belief #1 (that
we are each children of our Heavenly Father) we now know that we are all
brothers and sisters. On a quantum physics level, the same subatomic particles
that make up me, make up you. We are all connected at a quantum level. I can't
hurt you without hurting myself, and I can't help you without helping myself.
Jesus repeatedly admonished that we should
"be one." In the light of quantum physics, He may have meant that
literally! He may have been emphasizing this very principle. After all, He did
say, "do unto others as you would have them do unto you." Why?
Because, as we say in modern terms, "What goes around comes around."
We don't have to give up our individuality or
freedom of choice to "be one." That's not what He meant. In fact,
it's our uniqueness that, once combined, makes a beautiful "whole."
The apostle Paul used the analogy of body parts - each being necessary and
important to the function of the entire body.
When we share what we know and have with others,
all are blessed. I firmly believe that a great percentage of the time other
people have our answers. They are in our lives to teach us something, to
support us in what we've already been taught, or even to test our knowledge of
what we've learned up until now.
In this light, even those who treat us unjustly
are in our lives for a reason. They are there to help us prove our knowledge
or to improve it. When we look at others in this light, we begin to see that
those who are drawn into our lives are there for a reason. How can we hate
them without hating a part of ourselves? How can we belittle them, without
belittling a part of ourselves? For on a deep level, they are a part of us,
and we have drawn them into our lives because we needed them there.
I challenge you to look at the people in your
life - those you love and those you find it difficult to tolerate; and ask
yourself, "What can I learn from this person?" Once you've
discovered it, you'll be able to love them for having taught you something
new. As for those trying individuals, you'll be able to love them for being
the "test" that proves to yourself and God that you are faithful to
the knowledge you've thus obtained.
