That is what I love about pantheist buddhist and pagan outlooks rather than the particular branch of christianity with which I was raised (don't want to genearliase to all xianity). But the idea in my birth family was that there was one soul out to compete wtih all the other souls for a place in heaven and to dominate over rivers, lands and animals as if this was the way it is. I have never felt this in my bones. Rather I have felt is so much a buddhist or hindu or some pagan views, sharing one soul with everyone. And what you say I feel deeply but not heard it expressed so well ie) all a weave in this wonderful universe. I guess having insights though is necessary for you to feel it and live it out in a path. I guess once you close your mind to it you are nver open to those expriecnces of oneness. WHen did you experience a view like this and does meditation help affirm your path? It seems all buddhist mediate LOTS but I do find my displicne wavers. Are you in a sangha and does it help? thanks blessings and togetherness seeker [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] |

Date Posted: 18/05/07 20:21 Hi From a buddhist stance, certainly for me finding that place of love and clarity beneath the ego and self preoccupation through practising meditation brought shifts in me. And over and over it increased that sense in me that the universe and all creatures are mutually interdependent and vital. I have a sangha with whom I meet every month, sometimes two. They are mostly buddhists but that isn't the point really, is nice to find people who believe in a path of peace as the only way to live in this world, to share silence with them and a sense of relating beyond words and ideas, and to share energy with those who are interested and motivated to find ways towards harmony and reduction in suffering for both themselves and other. Ultimately the sangha is all beings animate and inanimate. To me anyway it is our community in the world. Nice chatting my friend namaste zenwind /\ [ Post a Reply to This Message ] |
