Knowing - A zen parable on telepathic understanding

Updated: Jul 21

In the last two years, many wonderful beings for whom there is Self-realisation have appeared in my life.

The beautiful thing about these meetings is the immediate and intimate connection. I've lost track of the number of times the words "It feels like we've known each other forever!" have been spoken. We have, of course, "known each other forever"😊. These words seem to be the source's way of expressing our infinite nature.

Meeting each other in joy and as the 'knowing' of our oneness is really indescribable and must be realised in one's own experience.


It reminds me of the zen parable of two famous samurai...


The two legendary swordsmen of ancient Japan finally met. Each other’s disciples eager to see who was best.

One step at a time, they slowly walked towards each other, hands hovering over their blades. Then, standing only a few feet apart, they smiled and retired to a small anti-room to drink and play i-go (Japanese checkers)...


They 'knew'.


When realized beings meet, there is only blue sky and the warmth of the summer sun.
