There is only one Absolute Reality. The only obstacle between you and recognition of that reality is any thoughts that you have about who you think you are.You find out who you are by finding out who you are not. It's as simple as that.That is what Jesus meant when he said; "There is a way that seems right to a man, but that way is the way of death". As young children we totally lived in this place of bliss before we were taught to think and interpret life from a mental viewpoint. Jesus said: "One must be like a child to enter the kingdom of heaven". He is of course referring to this state of Being.
It is not difficult to do as it is your natural state of being. The mind is a wonderful servant, but a terrible master.

I might clarify just a little. Each of us has our own reality. We construct our own frame of reference and from that vantage point we navigate amongst all the other realities that exist. Tim will continue to believe he is going some place special despite running into my reality on this forum. My reality is we are already some place special. I am just a bump on Tim's road to where ever it is he thinks he is going. We grab what ever we need to support our frame of reference, its only natural. Tim grabs scripture to support his.

No matter where we go we are there so to speak. Who ever we are is not something we can ever escape from. We can externally act differently but inside we are who we are and have always been. This doesn't really change much.

If Jesus said you need to act like a child to get into Heaven. He might of also meant that by acting like a child you were already in Heaven. As in follow your Bliss and exist in Heaven right now.

Why wait?

The skiing was so go today I am going right back up there in the AM. Its suppose to be sunny so I am going to act like a child and go play in the woods with my dog.
