We too are full of so many things and yet empty of a separate self.
Like the flower, we contain earth, water, air, sunlight, and warmth.
We contain space and consciousness.
We contain our ancestors, our parents and grandparents,
education, food, and culture.
The whole cosmos has come together to create
the wonderful manifestation that we are.
If we remove any of these “non – us” elements,
we will find there is no “us” left.
Rog note:
Our bodies integrate the ingredients of the entire universe
and has been ‘transcending and including’ in ever increasing complexity
since the ‘Big Bang’ 13.8 billion years ago.
A certain popular religion adamantly states that what all the scientist state…
is fake news,
as they feel that the entire universe is less than 7000 years old…
a wee bit of a difference
:-O
But, regardless of believing a religion or knowledge of scientific facts…
In deep Spiritual philosophy,
according to most common sense non-dual traditions…
The contemplation of ‘Realizing our True Self’
is a fundamental part of attainting the ultimate goal of Enlightenment.
The part of us that was never born, will never die, does not suffer
and is beyond time… Thusly,
“We” are not our bodies.
Becoming Self ‘Realized’
is a process that anyone with the Right earnest volition
can Awaken to – in this life.
This Wisdom liberates one from the inherent ignorance, confusion,
pain, and suffering
all sentient beings are challenged with.

My aim is to present
a deeper, higher, wider, non-theological perspective
into common sense Spirituality
that most of us folks raised in the ‘west’ never get introduced to,
to fulfill life’s most intriguing questions…
