The forest is my happy place…
All the trees know my name.
There is no separation from my body…
And all the new leaves
The old leaves,
The leaves that are falling to the ground
And the leaves creating compost for new life and
New leaves.
I am that
According to most non theological logical spiritual traditions…
like Ying Yang and the Tao…
Life is a cycle… Energy and matter is always in motion.
It is understood in all these Spiritual traditions that “we” never die…
“We” are NOT our bodies,
but even they continue on timelessly as in
“Dust to Dust – Ashes to Ashes”…
our material parts will recycle into the Earth…
The other part of “Us”… is simply a ‘Life force’…
known as various names … Chi, Qi, prana, kundalini.
This life force flows back into the ‘collective’ energy of Consciousness…
This aspect of ‘us’ is… ineffable…
words can only give a hint of the ‘Timeless Wonder of it All’…
Very few people contemplate becoming compost
and fewer people have any experience with being… simple an energy.
Most religions create a child like naive story of
a made up place called ‘heaven’ and getting a ‘heavenly body’…
because, the concept of becoming pure conscious energy, ‘beings of light’
and our bodies becoming compost
is way beyond most people’s comprehension.
Even in ‘non theological spiritual traditions’…
the concept of ‘life after death’ – ‘Reincarnation’ – is widely mis-represented.
It’s not until an aspirant enters the ‘deep end’ of their “Path”…
does the True Nature of our Being become…
Realized.
