About Five Minutes

 Life can bring wonder, even going through death of self and others can be amazing to the experiential soul. I am brought back to this topic because of the suffering and lack of certainty I see in the eyes of people after a loved one dies. I will start with bringing what we actually exist as into perspective. We are a tiny speck of our true life when we are living here as humans. Like you, I am flesh which is created by energy consciously touching atoms to make such a vivid illusion of life. Here we live our life disconnected from the rest of existence because we recognize ourselves as individuals. But it is amazing to me that we forget our individual is made of many parts, that are made of more parts, and so on we move beyond the microcosm until we recognize our self as just energy. Consider energy and human death, the life experiencing self was just touching the atomic layer of reality, but has pulled out of that portion of the structure of our world leaving a different energy th...

 When I see my child, a mate, a coworker and even strangers finding joy I almost always have a sense of joy filling me. There is no doubt that we are social beings, here to grow, play, work and die in a community. I have thought about and wondered over death since I was 12, at times I determined that life was without reason due to it's definite end. My vantage point has changed but human death is as certain as ever and still I work to find a way to make life more wonder filled for others. I appease my own desires but also am trying to open minds to a world full of happy people; I feel it is a part of why I exist, even if I have to live to be 150 to help it happen. We try to live by logic as it flows in from the human brain, until the vision of self is expanded to soul, then beyond to being a portion of all, everything and nothing. From there one is the whole and life is a portion of a limitless supply of possible experiences as the entirety of every portion of existence. It is at t...

 I find myself worrying about everyone's physical being, but truly it is their connection to understanding that I am concerned about. Suffering and pain, a long time ago I wrote that these were what life was made of. At that time I was living as nothing more than a body on a planet in a universe that I pictured to be as big as our galaxy. My concept of being was so limited and my focus was on one level of life that is truly microscopic when we allow ourselves to know more about the universe with all it's galaxies. It is mind blowing when one can begin to imagine the layers of consciousness that are held within the awareness of every human body in every state of being. Then the realization of the wonder behind having any form of thinking at all should be amazing as we stand as one portion of a whole that can be so confounding. Because we have been standing here thinking of ourselves as all important, when really we are each a tool of our whole to experience another possibility o...
