Collaboration

This Week's Quotation:

Collaboration, not competition, is the royal road to sustain us and all the beings who inhabit the Earth. Collaboration calls for empathy and solidarity, and ultimately for love. Collaboration inspired by love is the way to achieve health and wellbeing for ourselves, and for all the beings with whom we share The Planet.

~ Ervin Laszlo, The Survival Imperative

Collaboration

Jerry Kvasnicka, Collaborating with Love

What a beautiful antidote Ervin Laszlo offers to the current state of division, separation, and conflict that characterizes much of what is currently being experienced on our beloved Planet Earth. The current state of affairs, perhaps epitomized by what is happening in the Middle East and Ukraine, is so utterly alien to the creative process of life emanating from Universal Being.

I am feeling more and more like the title of Robert Heinlein’s book: Stranger in a Strange Land. I incarnated on earth to experience the delight, even the ecstasy of creation, to let the ingenious power of Love flow through me in rich expressions of words, work, art, and song. And yes we all experience some of this, but how much more would be possible if our life performance was on a stage where peace and harmony were the order of the day?

Meanwhile, we do all that we can to bring this Planet and its body of humanity back into alignment with the original design of creation and the awesome potential inherent in that design. This means that collaboration, not competition and separation, will be the dominant theme of our lives. No matter who approaches me I embrace them with the spiritual arms of acceptance and Love.

Surely this applies not just to the people who are physically with us but to anyone we see on a computer screen or television. When we detect an act of integrity and true character on the screen we immediately support, celebrate, and empower that act in our own consciousness. By virtue of the heart connection we have with all humanity, this plants it in the mass consciousness and serves to bring Heinlein’s “strange land” back to Reality. This is our spiritual service in these challenging yet also grand and glorious days.

About Open Windows

We, the authors of this blog, dedicate it to the transparent exploration of the world's sacred scripture and enlightened spiritual thought. We believe that the original inspiration of all faiths comes from a common source, named and revered in a myriad of ways. With that understanding, the innumerable symbols, beliefs, and practices of faith cease to divide. They become open windows to a common reality that inspires and unifies us. We find deeper insight and nourishment in our own faith and from the expression of faith from others.

We hope these weekly quotations and meditations speak to your heart and soul.
