I have to write this, because I wont be able to write anything else until I do. It was 2 weeks ago today that my mother’s mother passed away. This experience has spurred a lot of reflection and contemplation for me. I won’t disclose the details here, because I believe that it can only be expressed person to person, but I’ve had some of my beliefs confirmed in a very real way. This has really deepened my thinking in this area, the area of spirituality. The world’s great religions, and the world’s great spiritual guides have all written about interconnectedness in some way. Personally I believe that we are connected to each other on a spiritual level. I believe that we will comprehend this connection fully at the moment of our death. Until then, it will be part of the great mystery of life that is destined to elude us all.
If you’ve laid under a blanket or a sheet with another human being, and felt them pull the covers away, or even felt the sheets moves as they turn and shift; This is my analogy for spiritual cocnnection. Our physical bodies are seperate, but like the blanket, a single cloth covers us all. When a person close to you pulls away, you really feel it. This feeling can even translate into physical sensations or sense perceptions.
I have believed in a connection of this nature for sometime, and in a way, my grandmother’s passing has confirmed these beliefs.
