Thanks for offering to let me have an opportunity to share my experience with your readers. I have always enjoyed reading your blog; you are quite prolific and thought provoking.
Since I was a very young child I have felt deeply that someone or something was always with me. Perhaps it’s just my own ego or personality, but I have never felt as if I were entirely alone. When I first started thinking about having a guru, I imagined “this must be who has been with me all this time!” This sense of companionship has always felt like a living presence. This is in contrast to my feelings about Jesus who in my childhood I tended to only see in black velvet paintings or nailed to a cross.
