I am reading the TAO and understand it and all consciousness to be one and the same. The TAO talks about microcosm and macrocosm within it as well. I really love the path that I am on at this moment. Looking for ways to expand and expanding who I am and what I believe. I believe that this is what all master teachers teach and applaud any and all paths in getting there. After all it is the journey more so than the destination. I find that once I have reached a destination and pause to enjoy it I find myself asking; “What is next?” Where do I want to go next, what do I want to see, who do I want to be?
I think that is what we do when we transition into the next journey after this physical one ends. I believe that once I reach that point I am quite happy to go on the next journey.
Do I fear death?
I would say at this moment I embrace the journey I am on, I realize there is indeed a destination and at some point I will reach it. I don’t feel the need to fear it as it is really like going to Disney, Paris, or the moon for that matter. Once there, I choose where I go from there.
This is very different from when I was younger with the beliefs I held true then. The fear of making a mistake and being sent to hell, or angering the folks who make the decisions and being punished for something that made them unhappy, much like an innocent person in prison.
Today I see it as I have lived in hell already with some of the beliefs and choices I have made. Living in the here and now really is the definition of Heaven to me. Enjoy this now moment seeing, experiencing, looking for every drop of good there is, and seeing it all as good. Surely that is Heaven in the here and now.
This is not to say that others are wrong and I am right about this. It states where I AM in this earthly experience as a spiritual being.
All is Well
I love you
