On the Corona Virus

​A One Life Tutorial on Corona Virus
 
The nature of this Corona Virus has much to do with changing notions of separation. First of all, the virus has come from an animal source. This means that the relationship between humans and animals is changing, that animals and humans are coming closer together—the boundaries between the two have become less rigid. This is a return to a more profound state of knowing the nature of all beings not as separate entities, but truly as One Life.
 
Secondly, people are practicing social distancing. This means that a great deal of attention is being placed on the space between self and other. We suggest that this space—the space between you and another—is being redefined. It is no longer the space that separates you, it is the space that connects you.
 
By this we mean that there is an intimate connection between you and all others that is being rediscovered. You are being reminded of how deeply and profoundly you are connected to everyone and ultimately everything. You are being reminded that your life actually depends on everyone and everything much more than you may have previously thought.
 
You are also having to examine all the things you take for granted, and all your behaviors that are habitual. What is it that you have been doing that is essential for your well being? And what have you been doing without presence, without consciousness? Many things have been thrown into the air so that they can be sorted out in a new way. You are being asked to look at your priorities and your vulnerabilities. You are being asked, "What matters?” and "What does not matter?"
 
What matters is deeply personal, and universal at the same time. There is an enormous shift underway as earth’s culture moves away from acquisition and indulgence as an aspiration for a good life, to the deeper understanding that what is really aspired to is connection, compassion, loving kindness. So in this time, if you recognize the opportunity to acknowledge from the depths of your heart, connection to all beings, connection to all life, you will reach a state of awareness we identify as One Life Awareness.
 
All healing is a movement into a more profound state of being. You are one with everything from the virus to the stars, and in that knowing lies profound peace and fearless acceptance of what is. That is the foundation of a joyful life, an amazing existence, and healing that is endlessly beneficial to all of One Life. Let yourself be mindful and aware, feel loved in every moment, for One Life is love of the highest order.
Be who you are, be well, and so be it.
