A Humble Wayshower

What it means to be a Lightworker in today’s society.

“You are not a drop in the ocean.

You are the entire ocean in a drop.”

— Rumi

A Drop in the Ocean.

That’s what society would have us believe we are. Just a drop in the ocean meant to ripple out and fade into the depths of it all — blending and conforming. It wants us to dissolve into everything else; God forbid we stand out too much.

If you’re too different, you won’t fit.

Society would have us believe we’re small and insignificant. How could a mere drop hope to be as valuable as the whole ocean? You’re a part of this massive ocean, but you’re not the entire ocean. How could you be? It wants you to be intimidated by the sheer magnitude of it all.

It wants you to see yourself as something separate to start with.

I hold a different perspective — and I want to share it with everyone I have the pleasure of connecting to.

That’s what being a humble wayshower means to me, a Lightworker in today’s society.

The Ocean in a Drop.

The ocean wouldn’t be the ocean if it wasn’t for the countless amounts of drops that made it up. Each and every one of these drops connects with the others to create this vastness; they all play a role. All of them are the greater whole, and all of them carry it within. They’re made of the same thing.

Within a single drop lies the makeup of the whole ocean.

The drop is the ocean — a miniature form of it.

That’s how I view myself as well as every human being on this planet. In fact, my view goes beyond humanity alone. The way I see it, everything that exists in this universe is a drop, and the universe itself is the ocean. Everything is connected, and everything plays its own role. What changes is simply the scale of measurement.

Holding a view such as this isn’t well understood by society. It’s a Lightworker’s job to help shift that. All of us are gifted in some form, whether that’s writing, singing, dancing, painting — or perhaps it’s more clinical, such as being called to counseling, nursing, or holistic healing. In some form or another, a Lightworker sheds their light.

We house it within ourselves and project it, and that creates a ripple effect.

There are many who would wish to dim this light, but even they hold their own sacred role. It’s through the challenges and trials they offer that a Lightworker shines even brighter than before.

If it wasn’t for the rain, the rainbow wouldn’t have the opportunity to display its iridescent hue.

That’s why I’m grateful to those who have rained on my parade.

They made the march more colorful.

All throughout my life, I’ve held an innate curiosity toward the world we live in. In the beginning, it baffled me how small-minded some people were. I couldn’t comprehend how people wouldn’t contemplate the meaning of life, the secrets of the universe, or the reason why we’re even here. Those questions plagued me since I was a child.

I always felt as though there was something I was supposed to be doing, but I didn’t know what. I just knew I wanted to be of service. I wanted to help people, understand people, and connect with people.

The connecting part proved a bit difficult, though.

This is common with Lightworkers. More often than not, we’re outcasts. We’re ostracized for our broad minds, deep feelings, and unique quirks. We’re different, and many find these differences difficult to understand. How do humans tend to react when faced with something they don’t understand? With confusion, frustration, judgment, fear, criticism, or downright hatred and disdain — and that’s precisely what I received.

I once felt like a victim, a problem, like I was defective somehow — but I’ve released that.

Now, I feel incredibly blessed.

I’m grateful to have walked the path I did, to live the life I live. If it wasn’t for everything that happened, I wouldn’t be the person I am today. I wouldn’t have been able to help the people I’ve helped. I wouldn’t have been able to act as a guide because I wouldn’t have walked the road. I wouldn’t possess the dear knowledge I now hold.

I wouldn’t have woken up to the truth.

I’m not just a drop in the ocean; I’m the entire ocean in a drop.

So is everything and everyone else around me, and I want to help them see it.

Everything is connected.

It is my sincerest wish to assist with humanity’s ascension. By ascension (for those who don’t understand), I mean coming home to our own sacred and divine nature; to unconditional love for self and others. Heaven and Hell are places that exist within us, and the one that becomes our reality is for us to decide. Everything on the outside is a reflection of what’s on the inside — and not just within us alone, but within the entire world as we know it.

Everything is connected.

Mother Earth is our divine teacher, as are all her inhabitants. The entire cosmos is our guide, and we have access to it at any given point in time. It’s all within us, after all. I’m a lifelong learner, and I look to the future with a childlike wonder. There was once a time when I trashed these views because society told me they were wrong, but I’ve seen the truth. I’ve felt it resonate through every cell in my body, down to my very bones.

We’re not just a drop in the ocean. We’re the entire ocean in a drop.

We’re meant to ripple out into infinity.

We have no limits — we never end.

And we never will~
