All Things Are One

I channeled the following message in collaboration with my guide, Lily in early January of 2021.

I stumbled upon it in my email today and was once again grateful to received the message.

I am sharing with you in case someone here might receive from it, too. 💗

If you have the fortune of living grandparents, without pain or harm in the relationship you have with them, ask them questions. Call them. Learn what you can of yourself and your history from the living while you can.

Ask them about their childhoods. About their parents and grandparents and great-grandparents as far back as the know or remember. Ask what soil their feet have touched. What soil their hearts are tied to.

Learn from the living elders in your life. Grands, Uncles, Aunts. Godparents.

This isn't an instruction to put yourself in harms way if the relationship with your elders is abusive or harmful. But if there are elders in your life who you trust, wait no longer to ask them questions.

Hold space for them to speak on their experience. Notice the blessings of wisdom in their stories.

I don't know what's going to happen January 21st. But I do know that no matter what happens on that day, it is only the beginning.

Stay in your prayers. They do not need to be big or elaborate to be potent and sincere.

When energy escapes me, when I am in need of prayer in the moment, I can lean into my favorite two-word mantra, “I harmonize.” By breathing deeply, closing my eyes, and repeating these words, I am able to recenter, refocus, restore.

The words are the magic, yes, but so is the repetition of the words. Repetition of spoken word, or written word, of signed word, is magic. Say your magic words, your prayer, your mantra over and over again. Chant out loud if you can.

Have your sibling or your roommate or your lover chant the words with you. Have your BFF chant with you over Facetime. Notice the sensations you experience when you repeat the words rhythmically rather than saying them just once. Notice the sensations of chanting with others rather than on your own.

The Alchemist flew from my bookshelf just now as I asked Lily for a mantra to offer to you. When we opened the book, the words that jumped out were:“All things are one," the old man said.

While I do think this “we are all one” messaging totally gets used in wellness circles to spiritually bypass folks, that's not what spirit is offering me for this quote.

I am one with my Highest Self.

I am one with my Shadow Self.

My Spirit is one with the Spirit of God.*

My Body is one with my Spirit.

My Body with one with the Earth.

The Earth is one with all of their plants, creatures, water, soil.

I am one with Creation.

I am one with the Next World. With the Equitable World. With the World centered on Black liberation and reparations. the World of Indigenous Sovereignty. the World without borders or nationalism.

Heaven, Hell, Earth and all dimensions around and in between are one.

I am one with all things I am. I am one with all things I envision. All things are one.

God, Goddess, Creation, the Universe, Spirit, the Source, insert your preferred label for the source of all creation here

All of these ideas, summed up into one simple mantra: All Things Are One. Four single-syllable words that can be easily tapped into and chanted.

We access the frequency of "all things are one" when we chant together.  We awaken that vibration when we pray, cast spells, make magic together. And thanks to facetime and zoom, we don't have to compromise anyone's health to chant together.

Now, not everything spiritual and/or magical must be collaborative. But the things that are great opportunities for collaboration benefit in such a huge way.

This is the energy of the 6 of Swords, 3 of Cups, 6 of Pentacles, 3 of Pentacles, 6 of Cups.

Temperance reminds us to keep our heads cool and clear and keep our energy, our spirit cleansed. Temperance reminds us that all roles in collaboration are fluid. Temperance warns against rigidity and emphasizes that being fluid is not an excuse to be unreliable. Be honest about your limits and boundaries, with yourself first, so you may extend that honesty to others.
