WE ALREADY HAVE EVERYTHING WE NEED. There is no need for self-improvement. All these trips that we lay on ourselves -- the heavy-duty fearing that we're bad and hoping that we're good, the identities that we so dearly cling to, the rage, the jealousy and the addictions of all kinds -- never touch our basic wealth. They are like clouds that trmporarily block the sun. But all the time our warmth and brilliance are right here. This is who we really are. We are one blink of an eye from being fully awake.from Pema Chodron's book

Hi Saffron  I don't know if anyone has seen this blog ~ I just checked it out for the first time myself:
http://postsecret.blogspot.com/ This was one of the posts ~ quote:
Favorite PostSecretThe question I am asked most often is,"which secret is your favorite?" My favorite postcard is one I have never seen. In fact, it was never mailed to me. I learned about it recently from an email I received. "...I was very excited because I too had a secret I wanted to post. I thought long and hard about how I wanted to word my secret and I searched for the perfect postcard to display it on. After I had created my postcard I stepped back to admire my handiwork. Instead of feeling relieved that I had finally got my secret out, I felt terrible instead. It was right then that I decided that I didn't want to be the person with that secret any longer. I ripped up my postcard and I decided to start making some changes in my life..."

Well, from one perspective, you never really go anywhere. Your legs might move, but the world is really just rolling under you. Relativity is everything."If there were no angels, would there be no sin? Ahh, don't let me begin..." ~ Pearl Jam. Dean. IP: Logged |

I was thinking about it last night. For an absolute oberver, the world is constant. Past, Present, Future are all containing within. It is the only thing that never changes. If it did change, he was subject to pain. But I guess he is not. He therefore may be called an eternal Father/Mother. Well I like that idea. Not sure, how feasible that is? Have you heard of Brownian Movement. Einteing was observing the movement of pollens in water. It was very rapid.
Similarly every particle in the universe is pulsating with a frequency. Be it even a soul. Actually I think the soul particles vibrate at a much higher frequency. When motion ceases life ceases. One day the whole world would be put to sleep when we all return to our creator. When the planets would merge in to sun. The sun into other suns, the galaxies into galaxies, etc. Then every dream of the one Big dream would be fulfilled. It would be time for a new dream Just a thought. Regards. IP: Logged |

Saffron, can you imagine what the world would be like if everyone lived as if they already knew that. I want to live in that reality. Great comment.IP: Logged |
