Light for the Journey: Climb Higher, Love Deeper: The Spiritual Truth That Brings Us All Together

by


What if your personal journey upward is quietly aligning with thousands of others—until one day, you all arrive at the same radiant summit?

Remain true to yourself, but move ever upward toward greater consciousness and greater love! At the summit you will find yourselves united with all those who, from every direction, have made the same ascent. For everything that rises must converge. ~ Pierre Teilhard de Chardin

Reflection:

Pierre Teilhard de Chardin invites us to see life not as a competitive climb, but as a sacred ascent toward deeper love and higher consciousness. Staying true to ourselves doesn’t mean standing still—it means growing upward with authenticity, compassion, and spiritual integrity. The most beautiful part? We’re not climbing alone. Others are rising too—from different trails, diverse beliefs, and far-off places. But at the summit, we discover we’ve all been moving toward the same light. In a divided world, Teilhard’s words offer deep reassurance: unity isn’t found by forcing sameness, but by ascending together in spirit. Everything that rises must converge—not by command, but by nature. So take the next step, with love in your heart and truth in your stride. The summit is waiting.

Because one calls,
Something appears.
Because one does not call,
Something disappears.

Thinking Out Loud ~ Our Shared Consciousness

by

Joseph Campbell speaks of a shared plane of consciousness in Reflections on the Art of Living. He says, “I am more and more convinced that there is a plane of consciousness that we are all sharing, and that the brain is a limiting machine that pulls it in. . . .  I’ve had such experiences on enough occasions to attest to that; meeting somebody, having i kind of “click,” and knowing that you are going to do something important together that will be a major feature in your lives. I mean, when you meet people who are going to be a deep significance in your life, knowing that it’s going to happen is somehow right there in the first meeting. It’s a very mysterious business. P.132

Note: I’ve had similar experiences. This week the name of a workout buddy, Brad popped into my mind. I hadn’t seen Brad at the gym in more than a year. I had this feeling I’d see him this week. Did he show up at the gym? No. Today I went on a nature trail hike and was out a good distance when who did I see coming up the trail toward me but Brad. Some may say that was a coincidence. I think our meetup was in the realm of the shared plane of consciousness. . Yes, it’s mysterious business as Campbell says, but it also fills me with awe and wonder.
