We’re Not Alone Here

Dear friend,

This morning turned blissful, but it didn’t start that way.

I woke with a feeling of sadness. So many friends are dealing with difficult circumstances right now that it shook me — it was a relief to have Sonnie barking at Chiara and me to get out of bed and moving.

We made coffee, sorted Sonnie’s breakfast, and sat together at the kitchen table for a twenty-minute meditation. After a few minutes, the sadness began to dissolve.

It’s not the same every time you meditate. Sometimes you struggle; other times, you’re taken with it — the way Chiara was yesterday morning. She sat at the table and went straight into it.

For me, the dissolving began as I realised we’re not alone here on earth, working it out among ourselves. We have help in the form of spiritually advanced beings.

During their time on earth, they followed many different paths and came from many traditions, but now they work as one to help humanity evolve — to become peaceful, forgiving, kind.

That is evolution.

I used to believe it was superstition to rely on spiritual wisdom in this life.

Now I see things differently — as if my earlier consciousness was somehow upside down and back to front compared with the way it is now.

I was once certain I was right. Now I’m not so certain about very much, except that life is happening right here and now:

the roar of a jet engine far up in the dome of the sky,
sparrows in the hedges of my neighbour’s garden,
a giant mastiff stretched out at my feet, dreaming,
the shadows of the wisteria over the kitchen door dancing in my coffee cup.

I’m still concerned about my friends.

Till tomorrow
Love
Mikey
