Weekly Newsletter: Never Alone

​     Some religions teach that we have been separated from The Divine and from each other. Many of these same religions teach that we can be reconnected with The Divine and from that point on we are no longer alone because The Divine stays with us. There are some religions which teach that we are never alone, but that we are a Divine spark, and The Divine is always with us.
     Experience may suggest the first is true. Our times of loneliness seem to argue that The Divine has abandoned us to our own decisions and our own paths. We certainly seem to be separate from one another. But, what if this division was nothing more than an allusion — nothing more than a dream?
     I am not a theologian. I don’t suggest that I have the answers to these questions. But, I have to admit I am fascinated by the idea that I never walk alone. Many religions hold to the belief in angels that watch over us everywhere we go. They believe angels are spiritual beings who do the work of The Divine. If angels watch over us, then why not other divine spirits? Why not our Divine Father/Mother? The Divine loves us, and I choose to believe that He/She watches over us, and that we are never alone. Maybe it’s not good theology, but it feels right to me.
