We are built upon our identities. We feel lost without them. In truth, we are all, each one of us, a part of the collective consciousness that unifies the entire universe. Clutching to the individual identity compounds our problems. When we cling to the idea of being separate, we invite problems. If we think we are physically separate from nature or the universe, we will attract disease. In our mind, at the mental level, if we think that we are unconnected, then, we are sowing the seeds of violence.

We turn selfish, dogmatic, and violent. In other words we become terrorists. Unity happens when we work within the spirit of collective consciousness. When we work from the level of individual consciousness, we dissect. Logic always breaks things down. Intuition always unites. At the spiritual level, collective consciousness operates to unite. If we think we each are individuals, there is no room to grow.

Spiritually, we cannot even take the first, baby steps. Let us look at ourselves this way. At the physical level, we are not individuals. Our body and nature are much closer than we think is possible.

For instance, the sun and our body are deeply inter-connected. A small change in the sun triggers a variation in our body. Similarly, any change in our body reflects upon the moon We are all connected by thoughts. A thought from somebody's mind comes and touches us. Similarly, a thought created in someone's mind travels to touch another mind. A thought sown by someone else, ca touch us. Anyone's thought has power to affect us. Thoughts are like ripples on the waters of a lake. If our ripples are strong, like a wave, we create a surge. We will be leading and inspiring others by our thoughts.

If our thoughts are not from our depth, others thought waves will impress upon us There is no need to fear that other people's thought will affect us. If we work towards deepening our connection with Existence, if we remain with supreme faith on our connection with Existence, nothing can ever touch us. Only a weak mind is vulnerable to negative thoughts So understand: we can be either a leader or a follower. We always think, 'I will not be a leader. I can't do tha much. I will not be a follower either.

I will maintain my own stance.' This is impractical. Lead or follow. You cannot stay in between. Whether you lead or follow, if your connection with Existence is strong, there will b only bliss in your life. So let go of your identity and lead from the depth of your connection with Existence.
