Guest guest Posted August 9, 2007 Report Share Posted August 9, 2007 "We are only limited by what we can conceive and affirm as truth". This is so simple yet so true. It brings to mind "if man were meant to fly he would have wings". At the time, this was carved in stone, but a small dot of an example of the spectrum I am attempting to describe. -For example, what is the soul? or more stressed is where is it? Yes, it is within us, but equally outside. When others look at us, the look in our eyes, the facial expressions, the way we present ourselves, our words... is this not them seeing the true us? The soul glows brightly, we simply must acknowledge what we are looking at, beyond the body itself. Now let's take a look at the body. If the soul is inside and outside, how does the body fit into the picture? It is like the wax of a candle. The wick, allowing the flame is buried within but yet the flame glows from the top... the outside, yet with no wax, there could be no light. To use a candle as an example is a poor choice because yes, it will eventually melt and be no more, but this is because the body itself is impermanent so it cannot make or create anything that is. Simple math here. The body is a wonderful thing. It allows us to experience emotions, scenerios, intermingle with others. Unlimited necessary and wonderful examples are attained and allow us to farther climb the ladder to grander and even more beautiful things. I find it funny that we are all victims of gravity. We are on this Earth and firmly planted here by gravity. It has conditioned us to point left or right, up or down, north and south. Think... beyond this invisible slavery, it all disappears. We look up into the night sky and try to grasp eternity when we have evolved into a world where every second counts. Also funny. Here, we were given seasons and night/day and this was good enough. Then we decided to be more effecient so we put a stick into the ground and measured it's shadow. Then came the sundial. Now alarmclocks, stopwatches, and all the other little inventions which dictate our lives. Now (whew), back to eternity. How does one measure the immesuarable or time the timeless? Impossible, so with this, guess what? we ARE in eternity now. Isn't it great. As for the validity of the human body, when we come in contact with our angels, guides, and the such, it is mutual. They touch us as we are felt by them.Equally. Form and formless hand in hand. Another beautiful thing. As for this post- why does it exist? because you are reading it! lol.

Guest guest Posted August 14, 2007 Report Share Posted August 14, 2007 Dear Randy, As always your words inspire! I did like the point about the candle, it is a great example for me tho, *smiles* for I love candles and it is so true without the wax the wick, the flame...So very intriguing and grand is this " coffee buzz " of yours! hehe Keep up the awesome expressions of this life, I love looking at the many facets of life from all of our brothers and sisters...The very last part about and why does your post exist, because I am reading...Priceless...So very true at so many levels!
