Guest guest Posted January 13, 2012 Report Share Posted January 13, 2012 There was once a time when all human beings were gods, but they so abused their divinity that Brahma, the chief god, decided to take it away from them and hide it where it could never be found. Where to hide their divinity was the question. So Brahma called a council of the gods to help him decide. "Let's bury it deep in the earth," said the gods. But Brahma answered, "No, that will not do because humans will dig into the earth and find it." Then the gods said, "Let's sink it in the deepest ocean." But Brahma said, "No, not there, for they will learn to dive into the ocean and will find it." Then the gods said, "Let's take it to the top of the highest mountain and hide it there." But once again Brahma replied, "No, that will not do either, because they will eventually climb every mountain and once again take up their divinity." Then the gods gave up and said, "We do not know where to hide it, because it seems that there is no place on earth or in the sea that human beings will not eventually reach." Brahma thought for a long time and then said, "Here is what we will do. We will hide their divinity deep in the center of their own being, for humans will never think to look for it there." All the gods agreed that this was the perfect hiding place, and the deed was done. And since that time humans have been going up and down the earth, digging, diving, climbing, and exploring--searching for something already within themselves. ________________________________________________________________________________________ No virus found in this incoming message.Checked by AVG - www.avg.com Version: 8.5.454 / Virus Database: 271.1.1/4139 - Release Date: 01/12/12 19:34:00 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 14, 2012 Report Share Posted January 14, 2012 That's great Steve. LOL It seems also that people do not realize that Buddhists do not use the word God the way we do. There thinking is more like Christ Consciousness. They will not deny God either. I think spirituality should be the foundation of everything. I am hoping that there are shifts in the education system where we find the common ground between all spiritual ideas and make that part of the education system. Some Atheists are more loving and respectful of others than some of the most so called religious people I have seen. If we lose that sense that the person who is starving and may not be very gentlemanly is still human with their own story, if we stop feeling what they must feel or what it would be like to be in their shoes and depend on religion to save us, I think I would not want to be let into that heaven.
