We've Come a Long Way, Baby

I believe only ONE exists. This means that despite what appearances may suggest, there is only ONE appearing as the all and working together in perfect harmony/oneness for all time.

Just because I believe in the ONE and oneness doesn't mean I still like everything. However, I also realise that there are always gems to be gleaned from any situation whether I like it or not. In other words, I can use any experience as a tool to realise the truth of the ONE.

A few days ago a large part of the UK was covered in snow, which brought London to a standstill. Snow is one of my least favourite things. I couldn't even travel as there were no buses on the day. The weather forecasters said the last time we had that amount of snow was 18 years ago, which I can vividly remember.

At the time, I remember running out of food and feeling rather resentful and fearful about having to walk to the local shops, about a mile away, in those icy conditions. I ended up catching a cab home. After the cab driver left me outside, I remember standing in the middle of the road with bags of shopping, terrified of moving because the road and pavements were so icy. I was frozen stiff and its snow laughing matter. Walking from the road to my house was like Scott trekking across the Antarctic.

That was then and this is now.

The me that I was then saw everything as separate from myself. Therefore, snow was seen as perilous and according to my perception so were my experiences.

Now I see everything from the perspective of the ONE. Therefore, even though I still don't like snow, I realise that I'm not separate from the snow and icy conditions. All is one. I, therefore, expected the day to unfold in perfect harmony.

Before I left home, my mother asked me why I didn't stay home. I said I needed to go out and write about the glory and majesty of the ONE. She asked me to do some shopping on the way back. On my way out I tried calling a friend on my mobile to chat but he wasn't in the mood for oneness. I figured it was best to let things be as I know everything is working out for the best.

While I was trudging in several inches of snow in the local park, a girl informed me there were no buses. I figured I would head to the local Internet shop. On the way I met a bus driver who confirmed there were no buses running.

During my walk I met this man who wanted to talk about stuff that was going on in his life and grudges he had against the local authority. I listened and reminded myself of the truth of the ONE and that love is melting all grievances for everyone, which I ended up writing about in Love Melts Grievances and Grudges.

At one point, two men warned me about an approaching car I hadn't noticed. Just shows how all of us were jay-walking together in perfect harmony. I stopped at the local supermarket for some grocery. I then walked home in the snow with two bags safe in the knowledge that we were all carrying the shopping together.

Later our next door neighbour shovelled snow from the front of the flat, which was another demonstration of the all working together in perfect harmony.

I believe as the ONE occupies all space and time, the ONE was available to assist me across the road 18 years ago when it was icy but I wasn't open to that possibility.

Now I know that though we may appear to be separated in time and space, we are always working together as one to accomplish any task and to fulfil any intention.

Thank you, snow, for helping me remember how far we've come, though I can't say I like you very much.
