This We Know

This is a philosophical journey inspired by my book "This We Know". Take a few minutes out of your life to not only change the direction of your life but also the direction of the lives of those not yet born. This we know, all change starts right here, right now.

This we know.

All things are connected.

Whatever befalls the earth,

Befalls the daughters and sons of the earth.

Times,

They certainly are a-changing.

Humans did not weave the rich web of life,

They are merely a strand on it.

All that's needed is love,

And money alone cannot buy it for you.

The universe is fully conscious,

With serendipity hardwired into its fabric.

There are no coincidences.

All things are connected.

This we know.

We know this too.

In the time it takes you to listen to this meditation.

Right over the planet around a thousand people will take their last breath.

And around two and a half thousand new souls will take their first breath and require feeding.

And each of these new souls will be born into the illusion that everything is separate.

When the opposite is true,

As this we know,

All is connected.

And we know this too.

At any one time on planet earth,

Around two billion people are sleeping.

And we also know that we dream for around half our sleep time.

So that means at any one time around one billion people are dreaming.

But it also means that over five billion people at any one time are awake.

But just muse on this.

How many of those five billion people are in some sort of waking dream?

We also know that the ground under our feet is moving around a thousand miles an hour.

And every hour,

Spaceship earth moves around 67,

000 miles in its orbit around the sun.

And together on this special planet we call home,

We travel around half a billion miles together every year.

But despite this rapid motion through space and time,

Some people are standing still.

Some people are even going backwards.

When all the time it's much easier if we all travel together forwards.

And we know this too.

Truth is only a measure of how well what we observe fits our personal model of how things work.

So we want our truth to expand.

All we have to do is change our personal model.

Is there a world out there that we're observing from the inside?

Or is that world a projection of what is going on inside our minds?

We know this,

That we may never know which of those is true.

But what we do know is that by exploring both of them,

Our personal model and our truth can expand.

And we can also know for sure that we don't know something.

Whereas we don't know for sure that we absolutely know something for sure.

If there are two things we really do know,

They are these.

Firstly,

Once we think we know everything,

We stop learning.

Secondly,

We know exponentially more now than we used to know.

Therefore there is undoubtedly exponentially more still to know.

A wise person once said,

Do not cross a chasm in two leaps.

If we are to cross a chasm,

A great way to do it is to build a bridge.

So just imagine on one side of a deep gorge is the way that we used to be.

And on the other side is the way that we could be.

And just imagine this,

That the way to build that bridge is to get everyone on one side of the chasm to start meditating every single day.

And automatically the bridge will build itself and everybody can get across to the other side.

And we know this too,

That many aspects of the world around us are less than ideal.

We also think that we know that it is down to somebody else to make that change and to build that bridge.

But what if each of us was the bridge builder?

What if the change starts with you and me right now?

And we know this too.

In around 110,

120 years time,

Each of those two and a half thousand new mouths that started to breathe while you listened to this meditation won't be around.

In just over 100 years time there will be all new people.

And the world that we enjoy today is based on the imaginations and the endeavours of our ancestors 100 years ago.

So what knowledge can you bring to bear right now?

To leave as a legacy and a gift for those that will come after us in 100 years time.

This we know,

All things are connected,

Not only in space but also in time.

Well that was beautiful and profound. Yes! You, Me and ALL OF US are the Bridge Builders! We are all part of the legacy of the “tsunami of love” as Pam Gregory would say. Thank you for your profound timely insights, beautiful voice, and clear bell. The perfect antidote to releasing accumulated angst overnight, an unfortunate feeling that hits me some mornings. Peace Be Upon You… and ALL OF US!!!

Lovely little meditation,. With a well-designed inter-weaving of facts and energy-expanding-possibilities, this track leaves one with a balanced sense of hope, as well as stability in the foundation of the infinite love and support of the universe. How delightful to have one’s horizons, broadened even further, in consideration of what was already quite extraordinary. Beautifully done, Tom.
Thank you!

Beautiful, insightful, and profound. Tom is the best

I was wanting a meditation reflecting on the illusion of separateness and Tom’s meditation was perfect! Thank you!🙏

Thank you Tom! As always this is fantastic guidance

Not sure about the bridge building itself, but otherwise completely sensible!

Very well put. Certainly makes you think.
Thanks Tom. 🙏 Happy Christmas and a bright New Year! 🎄🌻

I really loved it!! Thank you so much for all the mind-blowing and provocative ideas you've mentioned in this practice!!!

One soul’s presence makes a difference-This We Know. After having you do the Zoom with my workplace, a brand new Senior Living Community, has a new regular Tom Evans meditator on Insight Timer. Her smile was dimming, her energy was waiting. She announces to others that she has been meditating every morning ! Age 85!
Introducing you through my yoga classes and you agreeing to give of yourself via Zoom brought new life into individual souls, across the pond, their lives in this new Community. We are all connected, This We Know.
Thank you, Tom.

Wonderful lesson. I wish more of the world could hear it.It put everything into perspective. " In one hundred years most here now, maybe all will be gone.

Thank you for sharing this inspiring meditation. 🙏

A peaceful thoughtful meditation. Thank you.

Very nice, Tom, I trust you are keeping well at this time. 🙏🌷

What a beautiful reminder that we are not only connected to all around us, but also through time to all that came before, who’s imagination and creativity has allowed us to enjoy today’s way of life. I just wish I could have continued to listen to the music at the end. It sounded like it was getting to something magical. The music that you use for your work is always outstanding. Thank you so much for this. 🙏🏻✨✨✨
