Choose Wholeness
All is one. That is the truth of these times. In essence, that is the truth of all times. Yet now, today, as we all move back into wholeness, it is important to remain connected with that truth, with the reality that nothing exists in isolation.
There is no act in isolation and there is no beingness in isolation.
There is no word spoken, emotion felt or expressed, curse uttered, there is no striking hand, there is no tree fallen in anyone else's presence or not that is without impact on everyone and everything. The tiniest grain of sand being shifted the tiniest fraction of a millimeter by the tiniest breath of a breeze has an impact that ripples not only on that beach, not only on that stretch of ocean, but throughout the cosmos.
That is why it is so important today that you connect with and express all aspects of your beingness, all places of passion within you. At this moment, there are those aspects of which your conscious mind is fully aware. But there are also those of which your conscious mind is in fear but your Higher Self is aware.
Let's say that today you choose to begin writing a book — or to express or deepen any other aspect of your beingness. Do not assume that simply because you have chosen to honor this one aspect that you will give up on all others.
Abandon that form of linear thought. You no longer live in a linear, one-dimensional Universe, if ever you did. Abandon that old paradigm, which is a denial of the fullness of your gifts, the fullness of your very beingness.
Of course, focus is important. But focus need not be exclusionary. Focus can be inclusionary. Several aspects of who you are can be honored and expressed simultaneous to others. None need exclude any other. No two parts of yourself need be mutually exclusive.
______________________________________________________
The truth is the return to wholeness.
The truth is the return to oneness.
______________________________________________________
You will find, as you open to this way of being, that you seem to be operating so fluidly that it seems, as you might judge it, "flaky." That is not the case.
Do not judge your actions in a vacuum. Recognize that all you do and all you are is designed for a deeper purpose than that which it seems to be about. There is a surface, which is your immediate pursuit or expression. But there is the truth, which is the integration of all parts of yourself.
The truth is the return to wholeness.
The truth is the return to oneness.
The truth is the integration of all parts of yourself — the fluidity of who you are, the multidisciplinarity, multidimensionality, multiversity of who you are...the fullness of who you are.
The focus for these times is not a mutually exclusive focus on one aspect or expression of your beingness. The focus is on your Greater Self, that expression of all that you are in all your passion and passions — whether consciously acknowledged or not.
Let your connection with your deepest self, which is your Divine Self, God-Self and Highest Self, align and direct your choices as you honor the fullness of all that you are.
You are moving out of a singular existence into a plural existence. You already see this in the death and out-modedness of the one-job career and one-career lifetime. It is passing from your eyes.
You are moving, instead, into a time of multidimensionality, where you will be more fully aware of the allness of who you are all the time. It is time to open more fully to that simultaneity, to that multidimensional existence, to that expression of all you are: a being of multiple purpose, multiple passion, multiple aspects and multiple gifts. And you were given these for multiple reasons. You were given these that you might exercise and express them all.
You are a multidimensional being already. You have always been. But what you are moving into is an awareness of that, an ability to exist in an awareness of that, an ability to honor and express the fullness of your diversity.
Back when I was in high school in Canada, my Canadian history text was called Unity in Diversity. Unity in diversity: Now that is the energy of these times. The national energy, the global energy...the cosmic energy.
What that means is that as we move into wholeness, as we end separation and move into oneness, we will not be moving back into that same oneness from which we emerged. That initial oneness had no individuation. That oneness was just one single homogenous glob, if you will, of energy.
Instead, we move into a higher dimension and frequency of oneness. That is what many fail to grasp. You are not going home again, in that sense. You are rising in vibration to a higher expression of your home, which is a higher awareness of who and what you are in all aspects of your beingness. That is the power of what some call the Ascension, but which I prefer to call the Integration.

Do not hang your identity on a single peg.
The coat rack of who you are has many, many pegs,
just as the mansion of the Father has many, many rooms.
______________________________________________________
You are moving into oneness with your individuality. You will be in unity in diversity.
Just as your fingers and your thumbs are individual, diverse expressions of the whole that is your body, so too is your beingness an individual part of the body cosmic.
That is increasingly the case. And what is more increasing is your awareness and your ability to be that, to be with that.
So do not hang your identity on a single peg. The coat rack of who you are has many, many pegs, just as the mansion of the Father has many, many rooms.
Your mansion, the mansion of your beingness, has many, many rooms...infinite rooms.
Each room is a different expression of your Greater Self, of your Divine Self, of the Allness you are. Honor each of the rooms. For each is who you are. Honor each of those rooms. Spend time in each of those rooms.
Perhaps you have rooms you prefer over others. Perhaps it is fully justified, at times, to spend more time in those rooms. But here is the key, and this is part of the whole-making and Integration process: Look into those rooms you would rather not enter, and ask yourself why that is.
Ask yourself: "What is it about this particular room, this particular aspect of my beingness, that I do not want to enter into, that I do not want to honor, that I do not want to express?"
Ask yourself.
Right now, there is a room in your mansion into which you are reluctant to enter. There are parts of you that would prefer to shut that door, lock it, throw away the key and brick up the entryway so that it is not even visible.
Do not do that.
The return to wholeness requires that every room be visited, that every aspect of your beingness be addressed and expressed. There may be rooms you choose to renovate. There may even be old wings you choose to tear down and replace with new ones. You cannot even begin to do that if you have not spent time in those rooms and in those wings.
Your mansion has many rooms. Each room and each wing is an integral part of your beingness and must be acknowledged and expressed if you are to continue your journey of whole-making, your Integration journey.
It is not your conscious, physical self — your small, limited/limiting self, if you will — that will complete this journey. It is your Higher Self, your Divine Self, which now integrates more fully with your Greater Self, your full self.
Your Higher Self is fully aware of all the rooms in the mansion, for your Higher Self was co-architect, co-designer, of this very building, of this very structure.
______________________________________________________
Choose wholeness and integration.
Do not trap yourself in labels.
Do not lock yourself in one or two rooms of your mansion.
Allow all the doors to remain open.
______________________________________________________
Do not hang your identity on the peg of a single calling, purpose or expression. You have multiple expressions, for you are a multiplicity of aspects, facets, talents and gifts.
You are here to serve in a multiplicity of ways. But true service begins with service to your whole-making.
For it is your whole-making that will ripple out into your neighborhood, your community, your country and your planet — propelling and accelerating the whole-making of every other sentient being on your planet, in the Universe and in the cosmos. For no act or choice is without impact everywhere.
Choose wholeness and integration. Do not trap yourself in labels. Do not lock yourself in one or two rooms of your mansion. Allow all the doors to remain open. Remove all the locks. Discard all the keys. Open all the windows, that others may know what exists in your rooms. Open the front door. Open the back door. Let your shine from your mansion out into the world.
You are not a one-room shack. You are a mansion of many, many, many rooms. You are a being of many, many, many aspects, facets, talents, passions and gifts — some of which you have discovered and uncovered, some of which you have not yet, and some of which you run from.
Stop running. Stop running now. Embrace the allness of all you are. Live in all the rooms of your mansion. Fully. Joyfully. Gratefully.
You live in times of wondrous transformation. You have chosen to be part of that transformation, that movement from a consciousness of the singular to a consciousness of the plural. The plural within you and the plural within all — all coming together into a wondrous [one-drous] oneness that remains, through its wholeness, an expression of all the individual parts, which includes all your individual parts.
There is no single calling. There is no one career or profession. There is no single expression of your you-ness. There is only the allness that you are. There is only your myriad expressions of that allness.
Do not close off any room in your mansion. Now is the time to walk through your mansion, room by room — opening the doors and windows and airing out all that stifling, locked-up energy.
________________________________________________________________
Honor the all of you. Be the fullness of you.
Express the allness of you.
Bless the multidimensional, multidisciplinary expression of you.
From that place will you find peace — in this moment and for all time.
________________________________________________________________
Be the allness that you are. Be the mansion that you are, in this great city of connected mansions. For you will find as you air out your room that you share some rooms with others, that every mansion is connected to every other mansion. For all is one in this wondrous, cosmos in which we dwell.
All is one.
Anything else is an illusion. So shed the illusion of separation. Shed the illusion of separation first within yourself by honoring, acknowledging and expressing all that you are, by honoring, acknowledging and expressing the plurality that you are, by honoring, acknowledging and expressing the fullness of all that you are.
Honor the all of you. Be the fullness of you. Express the allness of you. Bless the multidimensional, multidisciplinary expression of you. From that place will you find peace — in this moment and for all time.
