Lesson Two A Common Root
A simple seeker was meditating on her spirit teacher’s explanation of their relationship. He didn’t need physical existence or human form, He told her.
“Why?”
“I use you as ballast, to connect to your particular world of illusion.”
“If my world is one of illusion, and I can reluctantly accept that it is, or seems to be, at times, then at least some others must also be living in a personal world of illusion. Are they each separate from each other?”
“Yes, we each seem to know that our so-called individual world is intricately connected to everyone else’s world, even though surface appearances deny this reality.
Only on the surface do our individual worlds of illusion appear to be separate.Beneath this illusion there’s a common root that holds us together; that connects us inextricably together, as one.”

A Simple Seeker’s Note to Herself
Lesson One Perhaps Spirit was helping me to accept that we live in a world of illusion if we think that we’re separate from other people, places, and things. But He and I live in different worlds.
“Worlds are as communities and the same rules apply; the correspondences are the same. No world is totally isolated from any other. The forces, or Universal Laws of Integration and Synthesis impel us to develop personal relationships with other individuals and groups of individuals.
Perhaps, not-so-simple seeker, you also learned that there’s no real separation between people, places, and things. Everthing and everyone is connected to everything and everyone else.The ten thousand forms of plant life each contains roots that connect them to a common ground that nourishes them all, and without which they couldn’t survive.
Collectively, we’re as a picture puzzle, with each being as a piece of the whole. There is only one world, which contains all smaller worlds. There is only one humanity, which contains all races. There is only one religion, which contains all religions. We each may live in different ways and/or in different worlds, but we each live.”
