Nothing in our lives happens in a vacuum. Nothing stands alone. From any moment in your life, no matter where you are or what you’re doing, you can follow the threads backwards that connect it to all other moments. At this moment realize that you wouldn’t be here, doing what you’re doing if all the prior moments’ actions and circumstances hadn’t occurred. You can play the “If/then” game to see this. “If that hadn’t happened, then this wouldn’t have resulted and I wouldn’t have done what I did.” If any moment in your life had been different than what it was, the resulting actions and reactions would have been different too. The circumstances would have changed and life would be very different from what it is right now. So, every moment – every instant that has passed in your life has resulted in your being who you are, and in your doing what you’re doing at this precise moment.
But, your life hasn’t stood alone. Nothing happens in a vacuum. Every person in your life and in the world has a fabric of moments and actions, events and circumstances woven behind him. Every instant that has passed in every other person’s life has made him precisely who he is and has affected what he is doing at this very moment. The passage of their every moment led to the instant the weave of their fabric of life intersected yours. As threads are woven, they mesh with one another.
You can take any point - any moment in life and un-weave all the moments that led up to it; and you can branch out in countless directions from each moment in the life of each person to the countless moments of the countless lives of others. Nothing stands alone. How many generations of interwoven moments and lives and circumstances and choices have led precisely to this one? The weave is seamless. We're all connected in infinite ways so thoroughly that if one thread were pulled, the entire fabric would unravel. This has allowed me to see that my life has been affected, in some way, by a housewife who lived in Persia in 1300 B.C. or a blacksmith in Philadelphia in 1812 or an airline pilot who is right now landing his plane on a runway at an international airport.
But, the weave of life gets far more complex than every moment being connected to every other moment. We are more than just a collection or a result of all our passing moments. We experience each moment of our existence whether or not we're aware of experiencing anything at all. Each experience colors our perceptions and has an effect on not just what we think, but how we think. Our perceptions color the way we remember every prior moment, and the way we anticipate or prepare for every future moment. The way we think affects our every action and reaction. So, if any one person who has ever had any effect on your life had ever done or perceived any one thing any differently, then the way you perceive your life right now and the way you would create your future moments would be totally different.
In this manner, we create our lives. With every action, there’s an altered perception. With every altered perception, there’s another choice for our actions. Every action affects every other living being and every perception. And, every living being affects every other living being. This change is constant and is the “flow of life.”
What is the speed of thought? How quickly do thoughts color our actions, and actions color our thoughts and perceptions? Thoughts are energies, unbound by size or distance or the pull of gravity or the appearance of light or the density of matter. How quickly are our thoughts created and manifested, observed and reacted to and passed on, in some manner, to another's perceptions and resulting experiences? As creators, we all create the flow of life. As infinite creators, we create its infinite flow – instantly ever changing.
So, Be who you truly Are. The light of your being will travel around the world in the blink of an eye and will affect for all time to come, all that will pass.
