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

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.
But our collective conciousness seems not to grab today the God's given breathed life upon us.
Inspirational and as always...deep.

Life and spirituality play out much the same. Whichever path we chose is good as long as the end result is the same. Peace, Love and Blessings Always, Paul.

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!
