Independence Day

Independence. You want it or you fear it. You strive for it or take it from others. As with many of your other concepts and ideas, in our reality, independence does not exist.

If you were truly independent, you would be a lifeless empty shell. All things in your life that you have achieved have been through the grace of Spirit, and the assistance of other humans placed on your path.

As an infant, you are completely dependent on another. Growing up it is beneficial to have responsible adults to guide your footsteps. Even those who aspire to create businesses of their own and make their own way in life are dependent on people to purchase their products, people to promote them, and assist them in trivial matters so they can go about the business of thinking they are doing it by themselves.

What you may wish to seek in place of a concept which does not exist, is a healthy interdependence. A fair exchange for the assistance or a willingness to pay forward when you are not in a position to give back. Interdependence feels warm and comfortable. Like players on the same team. A sports team cannot exist with only one player trying to fill every position. The team of Humanity is no different. You need doctors, police officers, firefighters, sales clerks, wait staff, child care providers, artists, musicians
and all other occupations.

Even the most dependent of your race, newborn infants, bring innocence and love to their parents and to the Earth. They are interdependent with their parents. No one gets, or gives a free ride on this planet. You are here, you are powerful and you are attracting all of the people and experiences you need to be successful. The first step toward what you think of as independence is the word, please.

Enjoy your day and celebrate your position on the team of Humanity. We are always here to help. Happy Interdependence Day! ~Silas

Jinnzania's side notes: My recent experiences have taught me that when you let go of sadness, you make room for happiness, when you face your fears, you find a courage that you never knew was inside of you, and when you release your fears of dependence and helplessness, you find incredible strengths and abilities you never thought were possible.

When I truly, with all my heart desire something and send out a request to Spirit, I am always answered. I have learned, however, that I must be open to the form in which the answer comes. Sometimes I'm given exactly what I ask for, other times, I get the resources I need, and still other times, I find people who can help me.

Whatever business you're in, you cannot be successful without the help guidance or patronage of other people. When you finally get over yourself ( or your ego takes a nap), and say, "Help, please!", help will always be given. Sometimes you have to stop scratching your lottery ticket and pick up the twenty dollar bill that is lying on the sidewalk. It may not be a million dollars, but it's more than you had a minute ago, and who knows where it will take you. Millionaires have started with less.

Happy Interdependence day!
