A distress signal, the beacon to let others know you are in need, that you are hurting, in a vulnerable position and wanting help of some sort. How do we let others know our needs? Why do we feel that we cannot send out a beacon of distress? Is it because we do not want to burden or make others feel uncomfortable? Why? Is it because we don’t feel completely connected to those around us, like we are cut off and removed from the whole?

When everyone feels as though they are removed from the whole, then a whole fails to exist. Unless you believe you are part of something larger, that you are bonded in love to those around you, you will always feel detached. As humans it is up to us to light our distress signal when we need help. This is a signal only, to allow others to come and help, those who feel as though they are in a position to do so. This signal is not direct begging, it is a passive sign that you are in need. The next step is the allowing. You have set your signal, now it is up to you to not refuse the help. Too many times we ask and then think that the helper does not actually want to help, or that we are a burden. As part of something whole, it is our duty to come back to that whole. Martyring one’s self in the face of help and offering is a very conditioned thing to do. To turn away help, or not see it standing in front of you is to turn your back on the whole and therefore on yourself. Allow your arms to open in thanks and gratitude for the help that is coming your way. Help is never wrong, help is always out of love. Humans instinctively want to help each other, this is our true nature. We know inside that we are part of the whole, part of the Divine, it is our egos who try to convince us otherwise.
