“Everything You Do Is Sacred”

Hafiz said, Now is the time to know that all that you do is sacred. Now, why not consider a lasting truce with yourself and God? Now is the time to understand that all your ideas of right and wrong, we’re just a child’s training wheels to be laid aside, when you can finally live with veracity and love. Now is the time for the world to know that every thought and action is sacred, that this is the time for you to compute the impossibility that there is anything but grace. Now is the season to know that everything you do is sacred. What’s the message in this? Now is the time to know that all you do is sacred, everything you do is sacred 14 billion years ago, there was this magical moment that happened, were somehow in a void of no thing. Nothing, there was no thing there, a seed was somehow created and went and grew up quickly to the size of a grapefruit, this infantile animal, infinitesimal seed is expanded to the size of a grapefruit and then kind of we call it the Big Bang, and just all of a sudden spread out all these different pieces of energy colliding with each other and eventually creating mass and material and and eventually creating single celled organisms and and eventually those being spread out. And out and out. And out until all of a sudden there comes earth. And even then the single celled organisms are bringing enough oxygen where all of a sudden his ozone layer is created, and multicellular organisms get created. And then were created. And I’m thinking and I’m conveying this to you right now, with some level of awareness. Every thought we have, every action we do, every feeling we feel is connected with everything else that’s out there. There’s an incredible amount of science that speaks to the reality of emotional and behavioral contagion. That what we think and what we do actually has impact ripple effects across people and things around us and the people and things around us have that ripple effect backed us. So there’s this sense of interconnection, that’s there. Everything we do is sacred. How is it felt? How does it feel when you when you give, when you bake cookies and you give give them to your neighbors to give them to your family and friends? How does it feel when you say kind things to other people? It feels pretty good. Plenty of science shows that compassion actually helps us feel and spreading and generating a sense of love and kindness actually has positive neurophysiological impacts. Why is that? It’s really fascinating. Well, could it be? Because when we spread good stuff out there raises the hole in some way and raises ourselves with it? Could it be that there’s some interconnection out there? That shows us that everything we do is sacred? Everything we do matters? And, and and Is it is it true that maybe we don’t know everything at the same time, maybe we grew up in a culture, or a family that told us what was right and what was wrong and who was right and who was wrong. And when we were right. And when we were wrong towards ourselves. All of a sudden, we get really self critical towards ourselves with how we dress and what we say and what we think and what we can’t do and what expectation we can’t live up to. But all of a sudden, those were just a child’s training wheels to be laid aside when you can finally live now with veracity and love, isn’t it time we loved ourselves and then and then what happens when we bring more love into our lives towards ourselves or towards other people? How do we feel? Is there a reality to the proof is in the eating of the politic? If I am and and putting those those judgments, those old, those old that old sense of of what’s right and wrong side for a minute, and then I and I live with a sense of veracity and love and it makes me feel good and I actually feel good as a result of it. Is that not me tasting the pudding and then realizing that this is actually good. Considering that for a second isn’t it important to use our own experience as a barometer for what feels right and wrong? And and and set setting those those learnings aside and doing that instead? What does it what what does it feel like when we think about every thought and action that we do is sacred and what does it feel like to even consider
to compute as Hafiz says the end possibility there’s anything but grace. Did the single celled organisms that lived a couple of weeks long think in their small lifetime? What’s the point? I just live a couple weeks and nothing changes? Or did they realize that billions of years later it would lead to these life forms that are here right now? Is it possible that what you think and what you do right now, you can’t even possibly compute the impact you’re having on future generations to come. There’s a reality behind what we think about how we think and what we do and how it really matters. And, and, and maybe there’s a there’s there’s a sense of letting go. And there’s a sense that there’s a, there’s a sense of grace, that’s there. Everything you do is sacred. Everything you do is sacred.
