From: Alchemy of the One
We rely on the counterfeit, and often conditional, support of others rather than on that which sustains life and upholds our very existence. ~The Seer
We trust our friends and those who are part of a tribe with which we identify, but not strangers. The conclusion therefore must be that we find the predictable trustworthy and believe that external circumstances bring support, rather than that we manifest it ourselves through our environment.
The tribe is neither predictable nor trustworthy, unless we are prepared to forfeit our freedom to live according to the song of our heart. The tribe predictably delivers support only to that which conforms. Uniformity is the nature of tribalism, whether it is a tribe of two as in a friendship or partnership, or a larger one as found in a church or society.
When we put our trust in externally generated support, we sell ourselves short. We rely on the counterfeit, and often conditional, support of others rather than on that which sustains life and upholds our very existence.
When the core of our being knows that the One Life is benevolent, that It moves and breathes Its Essence through all creatures, trust follows. The knowledge that births trust must also include the understanding that from our vantage point, the grand scheme of life cannot be seen for its beneficial and life-enhancing qualities. We must also harbor the deep conviction that the individual is the microcosm of the macrocosm. If life is macrocosmically benevolent, it is so for the individual as well. The individuated being is not sacrificed for the whole as a means to an end, it is the end.

Profound and beautiful! Thank you!
I was wondering last night why hardly any of the Original Ones are not more inclined to interact as a community with one another. Are we meant to be alone? The Original Ones in Russia appear to be very close with each other. The ones in America and Canada? Not so much. I wonder why this is. It's like were all "loners". Are they happier this way or are they still shy with each other? I guess I just remember a time eons ago when we lived in close communities and I miss that. I miss being surrounded by more compassionate and conscious people.
I would enjoy a conversation about that if you are inclined because I have wondered the same thing.
I know only one OO, and I'm eager to know more. Situated in Holland though.
Also I suppose there's a division between followers and serious longterm students of Almine. Everyone applies the information she gives in their lives to varying degrees. And there's many OO's who aren't a follower or a student of Almine.
But I love the energy from the people here; I recognize it as well. I actually wish I had an OO friend around the corner seeing as most of humanity is so alien to me. 😊
By the way today I feel the loneliness of being an OO extra strong.
By the way is Alexandra = Alex Murray, or two different people? 😛
I am feeling it particularly keenly at the moment too. I wonder if there is any news regarding the proposed Ashram/Ashrams? I am not a member of the groups where this might be discussed. I would be grateful if some indications could be shared on this site too. With thanks in advance, Miriam.
ps: Thank you again, Rogier for your answer to me in my emails. It completely resonates.
So eloquent. Thank you for this heart warming message Almine. Most grateful.
Thank you for this profound teaching!
