The materialistic body is a continuation of elements
that have been transcending and including by evolution
ever since the last ‘Big Bang…
Nothing materialistic ever dies and goes away
All those elements that most of us call ourselves in our bodies
will continue until the next Big Bang…
But don’t worry
Not only is that a long way away..
We are not our bodies.
Nor are we our minds and the ego’s we’ve developed
over the body’s whole lifetime.
What we typically refer to as our self…
The imaginary something anatomically built inside us…
That we assume is the us that is control of everything we do
Does not exist.
This part of us is just our story.

Our True Nature is Timeless
Never born, nor will ever die.
As each being goes through this materialistic life
Challenges are faced and a struggle to overcome them
are part of our inherent physical nature.
Everyone will experience physical pain.
When we simply stub our toe
There is physical pain.
However,
Most of the pain and suffering we endure comes in the form of
wrong thinking Emotions
Sometimes nice, more often
Dreadful.
We agonize and ruminate over things that are simply beyond our control.
A lot of us soon identify with our mentally manufactured pain and suffering
Psychologists refer to this as our ‘pain body…
We are so identified with our challenges,
they become more and more who we take our selves to be.
When asked:
Who are you?
The answer typically involves a form of pain speech…
The victim, Poor old me, the one god is punishing, worthless, hopeless
This is the very same perspectives of pain & suffering
the Buddha devoted his whole life to finding a way to overcome.
Most people are rarely in such dire straits that warrants such agonizing…
Yet,
They bring upon themselves these heavy veils that continue to
build up walls that hide their True Nature
This often leads to pre-mature death
Or
They take their made-up miseries with them to their natural death.
What a pity.
Sure,
It is said that this life is an illusion Maya not our True Self
Yet,
In this ‘here & now’… this is all most will ever know.
And,
Even to an Enlightened Master
To not live this life to it’s fullest
Would be … a big waste of time and energy.
Even knowing that time is not real it’s just a creation of our minds
And
Energy can never be lost
Only transformed.
So,
Know that this life and our life is like a story
Make it a good one.
And,
When it gets a wee bit too challenging
Relax
Step back and see the bigger picture
And know
It’s only a story.

Within each of us is the boundless space that is big enough
to allow all beings and situations to be as they are
without affecting our well-being.
Abide there in that Boundless Space.
Our True Nature is…
Ineffable.
It feels like Love, Joy, Bliss, Equanimity
All of which is like our True Nature in that it is all
Object-less…
There is no materialistic aspect that can be affected by
the chaos all around our story.
