Recently, I rewatched the 2019 movie Yesterday, which allows us to contemplate a world without the Beatles and their music.
The premise of the movie is that a global electrical glitch eliminates some very well-known cultural icons. In this revised world, there is no Coca-Cola, no Harry Potter and most poignantly, no music by the Beatles. I love this fun-loving movie and, of course, the music.
One British man, Jack Malik, is hit by a bus at the exact moment of the global blackout while riding his bike and carrying his guitar on his back. His friends buy him a new guitar and ask him to play them a song. He chooses to play “Yesterday” by the Beatles. His friends think he wrote the song and are amazed. Deciding to claim all the songs he could remember as his own, Jack becomes famous. Only two other people world remember the Beatles and they are happy just to hear the songs regardless of Jack passing them off as his own. The other two Beatles’ fans also pass along the great news to Jack that, without the fame and notoriety, John Lennon is still happy and alive.
After enjoying rewatching show, I allowed myself a few minutes to contemplate what it would be like if the Beatles had never existed.
Obviously, we can’t define or necessarily feel the lack of something that didn’t happen, but we can marvel in the knowingness of the joy that this reality with Beatles music brought the world. We can even contemplate the joy of still having John Lennon with us, in this scenario.
While playing with this thought process, I heard from my guidance that this is how Source feels about each of us in the Experiment in Duality. We all have contributed to the joy and wisdom in the Experiment. The Experiment would not have been as rich without everyone’s contribution. Every inhabitant, every being, regardless of which of Mother’s Earth Kingdom we represent, have added to the complexity and knowledge that is being written into the Experiment’s Conclusion. Source wouldn’t want it any other way. Source considers the Experiment a success because it is how we experienced ourselves as vibrant, magnificent and exceptional. It is how we remembered ourselves as Love. And as the Spiritual Hierarchy and the Beatles explained to us, All You Need Is Love.
Namaste.
