We as human beings have speculated in many areas of our universe. After
centuries of pondering, we've developed ideas pertaining to the manifestation of
life, and labeled these concepts, truth. The truth is we don't know the
beginning of Life. We have blindly accepted the theorizations of idealists who
visualized the manifestation of "life as being." Through this visualization,
many have been led to numerous and divergent beliefs, and drifted from our
proper relation to nature.
In addition to that, somewhere during our search, we have allowed our true
natures to become unbalanced. This imbalance leaves us partial people,
stimulated from only a physical point of view, thus leaving our spiritual selves
unnoticed, unattended. This negative state of mind, hinders our growth in the
true knowledge of self.
When a transition is made, (when we die), many are led to believe that there is
a heaven or hell somewhere, waiting to receive us. If we would only use our
minds and stop depending on another's concept we would know that heaven and
hell are only mental states of mind. TOP
How can another human truthfully say where life ends or begins, or what shall
take place after life on earth? Don't you think that such a prognostication
would be most difficult, unless of course, our informant had experienced it
himself?
If we would use the time we spend thinking about where we are going when we
leave this earth, and think instead about where we are going and what we are
doing while upon this earth, the peace and tranquility that life has to offer
would be ours for the thinking.
Only when the mind is focused inward, will we find the answers to the
adversities of mental limitation. The adversities which we ourselves allow to be
a part of our lives. It shouldn't matter whether sand or rocks rest on the
bottom of the sea; air or electrons beyond the blue skies, as long as we know
that we are one with all of creation.
The capacity of that oneness can only be found in the midst of self. So remove
the dark clouds of ignorance from your mind. Explore the virgin soil of your
soul and share the joy that blooms from the intimacy of human nature.
The air that we breathe to keep the stream of life flowing, is it not the same
air that is conveyed through the beauty of a flower, the whispering of the
birds, the muttering of the sea, and our counterpart who stimulates our
inner most being. TOP
Can we walk together in the midst of winter, and some of us not feel the chills
from the high winds? Can we eat of the same food and one not benefit from its
nourishment? The sun doesn't separate the gleam of its light when glowing on
earth's face. It shines as one light so that the energy may flow through all of
life's possessions. The trees and the rocks do not stand apart, but together as
a mountain of nature's beauty so that we all may see and recognize the oneness
of the universe.
UNIVERSAL.
Universal includes, collectively without limit or exceptions. Yet, some of us
tend to focus on out of space when thinking universal. Looking collectively
would enable us to visualize the whole as one including all of life's
possessions.
It doesn't matter whether you are in Spain, Japan, or America, the same problem
that exists within the realm of one exists within the realm of all.
