The internet has been a great gift in more than one way, but just one comes to my mind today.
I am a recluse by nature. I live in isolation and have little exposure to other people. Most of the time this suits me. It gives me quiet time in which to meditate, make art, garden, enjoy nature and write. However, there are times when I need a friend - someone to talk to who shares my interests. So I, like so many others, reach out through the internet. I find groups who share my yearning for spiritual knowledge, for the plumbing of mysteries, who make up the web of the brotherhood. I have a great desire to see the coming of the brotherhood - the unification of those who desire above all things to achieve spiritual awakening – to make a great step upward in spiritual evolution. So, then, I surf this web and find pockets of loving thoughts scattered here and there where I pause to delight in my “friends.”Some of them are writers like myself, whether of blogs or books, it doesn’t matter. Sometimes it is seen in artworks – hidden as though in a code, it begs you stop and let it seep into your mind and heart. And music! Spiritual truth, though formless, can be expressed in all forms. Many of the brothers have taken on the purpose of teaching awareness. Some of these teachers have become very well known for their books and conferences. Yet, I know there must be many who are alone and praying on the mountain until sweat drips like blood into their sandals. All are equally great, all purposes equally important. The thoughts of each have made channels from above into our dense world, so that it is no longer as dense, but filled with holes through which light comes from God. (You can call your Creator “the universe” if you like, but only GOD will do for me)
