by Big Dave | Nov 23, 2020 | If you were to give a speech to everyone you will meet in your life, what would you say?
I have sat thinking about this question for quite some time, and have gone on a journey choosing, then un-choosing, the words to include in this speech and the message behind them. I concluded that it’s quite simple – rather than trying to preach something (which is outside of my experience and thus out of alignment with my day-to-day self), I would just approach it from the most authentic place possible.
I would say, ‘Thank you for offering your presence to me in this inconceivably precious life that we are both living. I may or may not ever take the curriculum you have offered me, and you may or may not ever take the curriculum I have offered you. But, like a spiders web, our overlap is essential to the whole cosmos. We have forever woven a thread through the fabric of history and thus, eternity. So for that, thank you. It’s an inconceivable blessing to have shared this plane with you.'”

Words can never do justice to the essence of this question. But here goes:
“Those of you who, like myself, wander endlessly through the ocean of delusion – I wish for you to see through the veil and choose faith over skepticism. I wish for you to trust the light that shines brightest for you, and journey down that path – the path of your deepest truth. The path that, once you begin to walk, you realize that there is no other path. I wish for you to find this path, walk this path, and I wish for you to enjoy the journey.”

“Having researched this topic previously, I know that the average person will come in contact with between 800,000 and 1,000,000 people over the course of their life. Some of these people will pass as the cashier at the hardware store, and some will be as close as family or lovers. However, all these people will cross paths with us at some point in our lives, and some part of ourselves will be exchanged with some part of each of these people. Thus, I imagine an auditorium full of people, ready to hear a pithy, yet profound message – my deepest offering, deepest aspiration, for each of these beings. Having said that, here is my speech:
‘May the light that is within me, though often skewed by my own afflictions, reach you in some way. And may the corresponding aspiration – for your deepest wellbeing, for your path out of suffering, and for your own journey to truth – be realized in this lifetime.’
This is all. May all beings have happiness and the cause of happiness. May all beings be free from suffering and the cause of suffering. May they never part from happiness that is free from suffering. May they abide in equanimity – free from attachment and aversion.”
