It seems almost inevitable that a person’s thinking process begins with the current reality they are experiencing. So it begins with whatever issues there are in the world in which they live, with whatever division, conflict, and struggle there may be. Then they ask themselves, How could all of this get better? How could all the factors needed for this world to thrive come together? How could all the factions come together and experience connection and harmony? Or perhaps they simply think, Why can’t all these people get a clue?!

Thought processes tend to start with what is and then image how it might become incrementally better. What would happen if we switched that paradigm? What if we entertained the inner perfection of the world—of each person, and of all humankind, together? And then let our thought process unfold from the standpoint of that inner perfection?

For that to happen, we would have to suspend our disbelief that our inner perfection could manifest. And that’s what I am inviting you to do as you read this Pulse of Spirit.

Here is how I would describe our inner perfection. We are a Family of Souls. There are more Soul Families beyond our own. But we are the Soul Family for Planet Earth.

Some of us are incarnate in human flesh. But not forever. That includes all humankind. And there are those who are not currently incarnate in human flesh. That doesn’t make them irrelevant to us. We all have a spiritual dimension to our stature, even those of us who are incarnate. Being in the flesh doesn’t deny that. And having no human flesh at the moment doesn’t deny a Being’s substantiality and relevance to the Family of Souls.

We are a Family in Love. Everything that transpires in the cycles of Creation happens within the network of Love that is established by the golden threads of connection between us all. We are a constellation of Light in the firmament of Planet Earth.

Just as there is a center to every manifest form of Creation, from the Milky Way to the atom, there is a center to our Family of Souls. All the Love of this Family, all our knowledge, is concentrated there. We invest our Love in this illuminated heart of our family.

The center of our Family is not just a space. It is occupied by Beings who are the nucleus of our Family. And there is a Being of ultimate Love who is at the very center of that nucleus.

This Being incarnated in a previous age, though he is not incarnate now. And still, he is not defined by any dimension of human culture. He is not defined by race, religion, color, or geography. He stands at the center of us all.

While we, as human beings enjoying a cycle in the flesh, have the possibility of error, there is no error possible in this inner perfection of the Family of Souls. Love reigns supreme. It is a liberating Love that frees all Souls to be perfectly themselves in expression, fulfilling their parts in Creation.

This pattern of inner perfection includes every Soul in heaven and earth. Every man, woman, and child is part of it, whether they know it or not. And most do not know it.

Participation in this constellation of Souls is the basis for human harmony. Each of us orbit around the nucleus at the center of our Soul Family. That orbit establishes our place in the Family and our relationship with one another. It establishes the part we play in Creation.

Shall we begin all our thoughts with the knowledge of this inner perfection? From this perspective, there is no problem to solve. There is only the processes of Creation to fulfill.

If we do not experience this Reality and our place in this Family of Souls, what is the conception of Reality within which we are operating?

Now consider the usual attempt to make the world come together—to create greater levels of human harmony, more ecologically aligned ways of functioning, and less risk of all-out war, disease, and poverty. All the while, the world is mostly unconscious of the inner perfection of this Family of Souls and of the organizing principle of this Family. What are the chances of our success as a race without awakening to that Reality?

Let us fully remember our Family. Let us remember the Love that illuminates this constellation in which we participate. And let our Love for the One at the Center of us all fully ignite, creating the power of fusion that transforms humankind.

We are the part of this Family of Souls who are in the flesh, in this world. Let us do our part to bring awakening to the world.

Do we have a better plan than this?
