The notion of ‘oneness’ can be a hard one to grasp. For instance how can a homeless beggar and me ever be as ‘one’? Because the spirit only knows one thing: pure, thick, deep love!

I had a dream one night where a mans face kept being flashed to me. I awoke feeling deeply disturbed by the vision of that man. It was only his face I saw and he appeared dishevelled and wild looking. It was not a face I’d seen before yet it was an image that was being etched into my psyche. That morning I was driving to my studio and I was a little lapsed with noticing the change of traffic lights. When suddenly a man stepped in front of my car and I narrowly missed crashing into him. The distance between us was the bonnet of my car and he turned his whole body to looked at me. He was emotionless, not panicked, not alarmed, not scared. He just stood there untouched by the terror of what could have been. I leaned a far forward over my steering wheel as possible to get a clear look at his face and my heart sank when I realised I knew this man. OMG! This was the man that was been flashed to me in my dreams. He’s homeless! and just like that he continued on his way. For the rest of that day I felt intensely stirred by the whole crazy thing. I couldn’t explain how suddenly I felt connected to that man. It was nuts! As I sat in my studio not doing much work I made a spontaneous decision to go to the city library (which I’d never been to before that day). Along the way I passed a street cart selling some fruit and I bought two of everything. Some part of me (the part of me that I now refer to as the ‘knowing’) was already wised up to the purpose of why I was buying two of everything. I was starting to feel like I wasn’t me anymore and that I was being led somewhere I needed to be. One of my reasons for going to the library was to research ‘fatima’. In a psychic reading I’d had only a few days previously I was told I needed to know more about ‘fatima’. Ok, so here I am in the library with a bag full of twinsy fruit. I looked up which isle I might find some books for my research. When I get to the entrance of my isle I am completely overwhelmed with what I see and all I can do from falling over is hold my chest for fear of my heart leaping out of my body. I was frozen with astonishment. The man in my dreams, the man I had nearly run over with my car was calming sitting before me flicking through some books. All I could do was walk over to him and I very gently gave him one part of each of the fruit I had in my bag. He looked at me with a gaze that penetrated my whole being. “thank you” is all he said, as he humbly reached forward to receive his fruit. I asked him for his name and he said “john”. In that moment I understood the meaning of ‘oneness’. This clip about the cat and the dolphin took me right back to my experience with John. Devotion to love is the path to a unified heart. ONENESS! The yogis say that the purpose of being dedicated to the path of yoga is about living a wholehearted devotion to the Divine and Divine creation. Devotion is the key to unlocking our hearts. When living with an open heart, we see clearly as the pathways of our lives unfold. Thank you John.
