You really count!

It’s so easy to be cynical, even to give up hope and say  “Who cares?”, “What difference does it make what I do good/bad, because I’m just one person, what effect can I have!?”

This is what some people say to themselves in response to the challenge of living a more environmentally responsible life or the benefits of behaving and living in a more spiritually attuned lifestyle.

And ‘realistically’ they are right.

It seems silly to say that one person recycling or really loving their corner of the Universe while the other 6 Billion of us are not, is really going to make a difference.

But I believe that, that way of seeing the world, that statistical and ‘realistic’ approach is dated, because it doesn’t reflect reality.

According to (my rather woolly understanding of) Quantum Physics –

When we look at anything, we effect it!

Our very observation changes the stuff we see from a wave state – to particles.

Also that two pieces of a split particle no matter the distance between them are specially connected and really One, so if you do anything to one of the halves the other half reacts immediately.

The crazy thing is that each of us are made up of millions of split particles!

Each of us no matter what we, think, feel, say and do actually affect far more than any of us are aware of.

According to some, even our intention affects physical reality!  

This is what Urban Guru’s have been saying for thousands of years.

At the heart of all spiritual movements is the belief that each of us is important, each of us can and does affect the entire cosmos.

Exercise: I want you to imagine that each of us is a small dot on vast cosmic canvas, each of is tinny and insignificant compared to the entirety of the picture.

But when you look at a photo you’ll notice, when there’s a dot missing or when it’s not the colour it could be.

And this is one of the reasons why you are so very important:

If even one of these little dots was missing, wasn’t being themselves truly and fully then the whole picture would be incomplete.

So it’s quiet clear that: We all need you! The entire Universe needs you! The whole world needs you – to be you.

So be yourself completely, whoever you are. Live your life, be honest and be true to yourself, whatever colour, whatever shade just be yourself and be happy being yourself.

So let it be known, you do really count, everything you do, everything you say, everything you feel, everything you think – ripples throughout Existence and for all eternity.

Say it out aloud:

“I am an infintely important and significant part of this miraculous Universe! Everything I do is important and my love for life ripples out to the very edges of the Universe and beyond!”
