Dear Beloved,
This little antidote was forwarded to me in an email recently from an
unknown author. It spoke to me and seemed an appropriate theme
to share with you for Valentines Day or any day when love is needed.
A well-known speaker started off his seminar by holding up a $20
bill. In the room of 200, he asked, "Who would like this $20 bill?"
Hands started going up. He said, "I am going to give this $20 to one
of you, but first, let me do this. He proceeded to crumple up the $20
dollar bill. He then asked, "Who still wants it?" Still the hands were
up in the air. Well, he replied, "What if I do this? " And he dropped
it on the ground and started to grind it into the floor with his shoe.
He picked it up, now crumpled and dirty. "Now, who still wants it?"
Still the hands went into the air. My friends, we have all learned a
very valuable lesson. No matter what I did to the money, you still
wanted it because it did not decrease in value. It was still worth $20.
Many times in our lives, we are dropped, crumpled, and ground into
the dirt by Life and the circumstances that come our way. We feel
as though we are worthless. But no matter what has happened or
what will happen, you will never lose your value. Dirty or clean,
crumpled or finely creased, you are still priceless to those who DO
LOVE you. The worth of our lives comes not in what we do or whom
we know, but by WHO WE ARE and WHOSE WE ARE.
The deeper theme to this story might be that our own worth and our
worth to each other is beyond the relative. The ego suffers when life
does not go the way it thinks it should. The ego projects feelings of
being alone and unloved, worthless, and powerless. The ego loves
to wallow in the negative. This is when it is time to reach to the
transcendent reality, of who and what we are beyond the physical.
The transcendent experience of reality could be described as LOVE
without conditions and limits. Have you ever wondered why someone
would risk their very own life to save a strangers life? Perhaps it
might be because, at a base level, there is the inner knowledge that
we are all the same, we are each other. We are One and we belong
to each other.
