Are you beginning to feel the threads of life pulling together in your life? Do you see the amazing intertwining of your life with the threads of all the lives on Earth, past, present, future?

You cannot still possibly feel that you are just a cog in the wheel of the world. You are the axis. You are pivotal. You are like the switch that synchronizes all the trains on the track. You are of great importance to the entire unfolding of life. Of course, you will not know for a fact all the connections you make and how integral you are, and yet you are gaining a greater sense of the connectedness.

You don't have to know. You don't have to know anything, the same way you don't have to know how digestion works. The important thing is that you digest. You don't have to know all about the circulation of the blood. Your blood circulates. You don't have to know all the effect you have on the coming together of the Universe. It is enough that you have an effect.

You are essential to the interplay of all life. There is not one person's life that you are not connected to. There is not one event in the world that you have not influenced. There is not one shred of goodness that you did not help materialize. You have been instrumental in confusion as well, yet you are becoming clearer now, and so will the world become clearer before your very eyes. It makes no more sense to imagine that you are separate from all of life than it would be to imagine you are separate from Me. You can imagine all you like, but that does not change the connectedness.

You are like the On button of a blender.

You are like the handle that cranks the victrola.

You are like the hand that rocks the cradle of life.

You are instrumental and integral. I kid you not. You are a kingpin of the Universe.

No matter who you are, you have a mission in the world, and, by hook or by crook, you are fulfilling it.

Nothing is as it seems, beloveds. It is always more. It is always simpler and, at the same time, more complex. Not complicated but intricately complex. And so you cannot follow the threads, and yet each thread is simply connected to the one next to it, and so on. There is no end to the connectedness.

By the same token, the tree outside your window influences you as well. The tree loves you beyond a doubt. And so now remember to love that tree and the whole kingdom of tree-dom in the world. You are inseparable from the trees and plantings around your house and everywhere else too.

Certainly, the tides of the oceans have their influence on you, but don't think that you don't influence the tides as well. Whatever goes on in the world, you play a part in it. You may have thought you are nothing much at all, and I am telling you that you are crucial to the play of the Universe. You are a great influencer. Know your importance. Take it seriously at the same time as you let it roll off your shoulders. You contribute to the writing of the script of life. You are a consenting partner. You are on the Board of Directors. All of creation plays parts of diverse kinds, yet no one plays a bigger part than you. No one. No one is more essential than you, and no one is less essential. The biggest name in the world is not more important than you. Leader or follower, you lead just the same. There are no notes played that are not yours. Even as you are sure you don't know how to play the game, you play it well. You are an adept. You are of great consequence, beloveds.
