Unified Field Consciousness

By Alisa Battaglia

As I sit in the quiet moment of now, the crisp air awakens my spirit to the early morning hours before the buzz of the technosphere. I just sit—breathing, being, feeling grateful for my life, my mother, and my beautiful home. My heart holds a desire for deeper connection with my neighbors and the greater stream of life moving all around me.

Yesterday, I learned that another neighbor has fallen ill—sudden and unexplained. I offered what I could: knowledge of healing steps and support. In conversation, we discovered a shared secret—we’ve both been feeding and sheltering a small feline family that has become the neighborhood’s gentle strays.

As I sip delicious hot tea, I look into my autumn garden and wonder where my dove flock is. Maybe they sense the felines about. I take notice that the bird seed cake holder needs a refill. I feel a sense of concern to assure the cats and birds are fed. It’s cold and most of their favorite flowers are gone and wonder about the bees. Then my thoughts wander to my new and endearing friend who feeds the homeless and the hungry. He said he fed 50 people yesterday, more than usual. No one should be left in the cold and without at least meal a day. I eat two.

Hardship moves through every layer of life, yet so can grace. We do what we can with what we have—planting flowers for a dying species of pollinator bees and butterflies, leaving food for strays and wild animals displaced by rapid encroachment to lending a hand to those in need in ways we can. To offer warmth to another soul with a kind word or gesture. For instance, a sweater that does not fit will fit someone who never had the luxury of feeling warm in one. These small acts of kindness, born from the impulse of love, are the healing balm that lifts life to a higher order.

Strive to always be better and more loving than the day before, until you realize—we are not separate, but actually all one. While this sounds fanciful on paper and ideology, it is love in action that beats the true heart of the human family. As stewards of nature, this knowing is inborn, yet outbred by a pseudo way of living detached from the very origins upon whom we live, move and have our being. Nature shows us when we are still enough to observe the cooperative link. Everything lives through cooperation.

Ask yourself: What am I grateful for in my life today that fills my heart and overflows me with tears of reverence in recognition of this moment of Grace? Then Pay it forward!

I AM
In Excelsis Deo
