31. The pinnacle of civilisation

All my life I thought human civilisation was the pinnacle of civilisation. I came to know my own culture pretty well, then became aware of it's spiritual dimension, and then the spiritual dimensions of other cultures.

Nek minit, began to get a peek into the culture of civilisations a lot older than ours, even before 'human' civilisation here on Earth, from other parts of the Universe, other Universes, and other realities?!

Last week I told someone I admire, 'Gee whaea, my Universe just got a whole lot bigger', to which she laughed and gave me a great, big, hug.

On a personal level this discovery could be overwhelming, but humility simply tells me to say thank you for the reveal. Ka nui tera.
