(In honor of the victims
of the Pulse Nightclub tragedy.) The
other day I was looking at an aquarium full of
clown fish, some orange and black with white
stripes, some all back with white stripes swimming
together oblivious to the differences between
them. Everywhere in the wild you can see the same
behavior where differences can make little
difference until man enters the scene. In a
supposedly far advanced state over the lesser
creatures, differences do exist. The tolerance to
those differences can be graphed and calculated
throughout history in the currency of a human life
and just how much a person’s existence is measured
in relation to the rest of the population. The
valuation of a human life varies with location and
time period along with how much those differences
affect that value. Recorded history provides
benchmarks to judge by and it starts with how
karma and a soul’s higher self has assigned the
parameters of a person’s birth. Factors setting
the value on a life have been fairly consistent
even up to today where the color of a person’s
skin, the belief system they abide by, the station
in life in which they find themselves, the choice
they make in sexual partners can all make huge
differences in the development of one’s
environment. Contributing to the assessment is the
location of one’s birth, the parents who have
agreed between lives to accept the responsibility
to have an influence in the lessons a person has
assigned themselves. It is how that person deals
with those lessons they’ve laid out that gives
rise to the consciousness needed for ascension. The last
but most important factor we’ve left off is the
understanding a person has on the value of
themselves and those around them. It’s separate
because it is the internal calculator which can
often set values based on the external factors
already mentioned even if it is only in the
subconscious mind. History is the perfect gauge to
see how life has gained and lost in value through
the centuries. Slavery, indentured servitude and
the sex trade industry have all contributed to
extending the gulf in the price of a life to
actual money as opposed to a personal intrinsic
value with the soul-changing lessons necessary for
the individuals involved. Subjugation of a land or
a people also changes the dynamics of those who
are the conqueror and those who are conquered.
It’s this intolerance to the differences found in
others that only promotes tolerance of those
differences in people who before may not have had
a strong opinion one way or another but are forced
to take a stand in defense of those differences if
only from a moral standpoint. It’s the
future we have to look to so that as many people
as possible can come to understand that the price
of a life is incalculable. No value can be set for
something which is so rich in experiences and
those trying to set a value fail to take into
consideration the future lives to come, the
present potential and the past lives that brought
about that moment. In higher dimensions, these are
the true factors that can’t be assigned a value.
We are beings of light and light is free.
Increasing that light comes with the sharing that
same light to others, giving them a hand up from a
place if they’ve assigned themselves a low
personal valuation and just need to be reminded
that they, as well as we, are worth far more than
what they, or ourselves may think we’re worth. In love, light and sorrow
as one, Russ and Karra
