Re: How did you meet your loved one?
I met my husband on the net, many years ago, when it was still rather uncommon, in the days before the ubiquity of instant messaging (I think ICQ was around by about 1998, but he couldn't use it since he spent most of his time on a Unix machine; we used to talk via Unix ytalk, very archaic by modern standards), in the days when Yahoo was still just a manually updated index in some grad student's personal account at Berkely, in the days before Google (yes, the internet existed before Google, though I know it's hard to imagine if you don't remember it ).
As for spirituality, that's hard to say. My journey is my own, as is everyone's. It's unique. Living is like dying, you really have to do it on your own. You might have some company, but they're not inside your perspective, only you are.
My husband is quite non-mystical, but he's very smart, he's well educated in matters of religion, psychology, myth and archetype, and he's very open minded. When I asked him, not long ago, if he understood most of the spiritual stuff I talked about, he said, "I understand it, but I only grok about a third of it," and I thought that was fair enough. I've really gone past a kind of "point of no return", anyway, and from my perspective now (which is actually simultaneous multiple perspectives), I understand that it's okay if he doesn't grok, it's okay if he doesn't have the same or similar experiences to me. So long as we're in accord - and we are - it's all good.
Besides, he's kind of a centering point for me. It's like I'm the kite, but he's the guy on the ground holding the string. I can fly, but without that anchoring, I might just take off into the stratosphere and never be seen again...
May the light surround you, may you be blessed. May the light surround us, may we be blessed. May love and light surround us all, and may we all be healed and blessed. And so it is, and so it shall be, now and ever after.
