This is a shared predicament: wanting to resonate with others over a similiar state of mind, of being. As Rumi says: ‘There are many ways to climb a mountain, yet the view at the top is the same’. We must take our own unique path up that mountain - no ‘Sufi’ teaching is identical between Seekers; each is moulded by the growth of the organic seed within. True, we should - we feel - be able to find others sharing this Path, or another similar path.
Is it for us to hang-around in a like-minded group of friendships? Perhaps when the time, place & people is right. Other times perhaps it is our lot to resonate with what we are doing, and the network - the Design - takes care of everything else.
The search for Truth often demands obscurity. Yet every thought, action, and intention is recognised, listened, and responded to.

Hi Marc: mailed you but it bounced. Check back in when you’re back around. Hope all is well.
Kinglsey: thanks for that, it was quite helpful. I think also there was perhaps an element of me being a bit self-indulgent too!

Friends, relationships and stuff…..
Today was (is) one of those days where the ‘real world’ is trying to tell me something: synchronicity is everywhere.
Firstly, I have been pondering all week on the nature of friendship and the lack of it, of how difficult it is to be in harmony with people and meet others of ‘like-mind’ as the saying has it. I have struggled with this for a long time - even moving countries in part because of it and it is still ‘an issue’. All my best friends have somehow disappeared, think I’ve gone mad (which may be true) or just avoid me for unspecified reasons (although I am always careful to make a bad impression and one supposes this must get wearing....) and new ones seem in short supply. Moving country seven times in five years doesn’t help either.....
