Waves have always existed on this planet, in Nature and as part of the human trajectory. So many different waves, so many different colors. Today, a shimmering iridescent blue; tomorrow, perhaps a rainbow. Diverse people flowing together from every direction. We feel joy at the unfolding, hope in the possibilities. Dawn emerging over the ocean, peacock feathers, butterflies, sunflowers…. This is not a political party or belief system. This is the inclusive wave that connects us all through time and space, a seamless expression of love and compassion, which can only arise when separation falls to the wayside.

Yes, we currently live individual lives in different bodies, but before that we were all light, indivisible. No opposites or polarities. Before birth and after death, there is oneness. Can we open to it now as well? When we set aside the illusion of birth/death, oneness is revealed as a continuous Presence. Beyond the complicated systems humans have created, there is only stillness, peace. Take a deep breath and you are there. Everywhere all at once, no beginning or end. This is what wise souls throughout the ages have spoken of, and we have only to pause and breathe to realize it at the deepest level.

We are entering that Pause now (also called the Great Shift). One by one, people are dropping the stories they have been told all their lives and entering the present moment, in which their minds and hearts meet around the globe and form a garland of color and light. A garland that is both ephemeral and eternal. It is a shift in conscious awareness. Ultimately, each human being becomes one with infinity, which envelopes all lifetimes and Being itself.

Humans originally formed beliefs and opinions to explain the universe and protect themselves from fear of uncertainty and “others.” Those systems of thought, based on artificial separations (us/them), are currently dissolving or imploding, and we are discovering that the world around us contains emerging seeds of harmony and unity. Together, we are learning the truth of connection, which transcends words and language and even fear. Seen from our hearts and souls, there is only the Oneness that infuses the cosmos with love.

In Virginia Woolf’s novel The Waves, one of her main characters expresses an inability to distinguish his life from the lives of others around him. Perhaps we too are reaching that sense of merging—that we many are all one and were never really separate. Global awakening to what has been called the universal soul. Or waves in an infinite ocean.
