i'll be back to read and commet later

I strive to walk the path of happiness
That both Buddha and Jesus trod
The key to enlightenment is in knowing we are
All contained in one consciousness, or (mind of Creator)

The enormity of the concept of being so connected
Of all creation being "one" is a fascinating journey
That should motivate the individual into learning about it
To study what great minds have learned in the past
Is the only way to achieve peace and happiness

To realize that  we all are literally breathing together
As one consciousness , gives new perspective of life
When we take our mind off self,and think "we not me"
A whole new vista of possibilities come into play

Buddha became enlightened by seeing his own breath
Arise and subside. noting how it comes and goes in a
Continuum,which is the pattern of life and death
Genesis in the Bible tells us that God breathed life
Into  humanity and all creation, therefore the theory
Of collective consciousness is firmly established

I believe our future life in heaven will continue,our
Education, eager to learn of the vastness of God's
Imagination, it lasts throughout eternity, to keep
Us in a perpetual state of happiness,along with other
Relationships,that  provide love and contentment

Buddha and Jesus agree, the best path to happiness
Reaching (heaven,nirvana) is in  making others happy
To do that takes contnuous seeking of ways to become
More enlightened through our collective consciousness

Yes, and our breath here brings in all that is breathed out elsewhere. Thoughts, pollution, love, hate, they are all there to be inhaled. We add to it and send it on. What have we done? Awesome. Liz

Inspiring! A collective consciousness is what He wants us to strive for - sharing His love and bringing Light to all. These are powerful words for all of us to live by. Thank you so very, very much!

God bless you. Kathy

As someone with a very Gaia-like/pantheistic perspective, I love that you contemplate the "one consciousness" concept - I have always found Divine Truth in this.

Eileen, just a smile can lift someone who never has been shown any love up to realize life isn't so bad after all and some people do care. We should all let our lights shine for others to see we are all human and most of us do have a kind heart. This is inspiring, heart rewarding, and well written.

It is those souls who have the humility to lose self-awareness who find themselves everywhere and in all things. Their souls and spirits fly free of the constraints of reserve and concerns for self-protection or aggrandisement. They are without boundaries and barriers. They ebb and flow where their positive energies take them. You can see the lightness, the brightness and goodness of such a person in people like Mother Teresa. Their essence is not restricted to one fragile human form. Think you've inspired me, Eileen... We need more such beings to raise our collective water temperature so that within it all might become soothed and bathed... K xx

You walk a marvelous road, Tiger Lily.

I've always been fascinated by Buddha's teachings myself. He believed that on our journey to Nirvana (Heaven) we go through many periods of 'Consciousness' or perhaps, many different lives. So he believed that in the next life, we might be something else other than a human being - perhaps, even an insect - so he advocated compassion and respect for all living creatures, something I can really relate to.

I will take anytime the gentle Buddah and not the blood thirsty Mohamed of Muslim renown, even Shinto and Zen or Yoga or...
But our collective conciousness seems not to grab today the God's given breathed life upon us.
Inspirational and as always...deep.

A strong and inspirational offering! Concentrating on others makes our own problems seem small in comparison, I think. Deeply written with a message for all, regardless of beliefs. Hugs~

God, do I agree with that, he is in every breath and leaf, and in all of us together all at once, and yes instead of me, we, yes, but demands the ego take second place, the only way to reach the real us. You brought much light and wisdom, and shared much happiness reading it, may the light always be with you! Jasmin Horst

So good to see you back on AD...I was worrying about you!
My fave in this is:
"believe our future life in heaven will continue,our
Education, eager to learn of the vastness of God's
Imagination..."

That would be a marvelous continuance, indeed!

I have always wondered if the tiny darn fonts I keep seeing here and there is supposed to make the poem more enlighting or what? I've never understood the attraction for it, and I don't recall you resorting to it, but maybe I just missed it . . . Even with my glasses on my cataraxcts won't allow me to deal with this . . . sorry . . .
