The story of walking on the water is a significant and rather glaring bit of plagiarism , borrowed from Buddhism .
What was starting to become evident some 2,500yrs
ago there was the dawning of the awakening
adolescence of of our race . The true vastness
and dimensions of the world around us
was being known, as our numbers grew , knowledge
was preserved and our skills increased and
were traded around as we competed
more and more for
space and resources .
Our ability to measure and deduce
that we were truely swimming between
a macrocosm and microcosm was being experienced more
discretly & fully for the first time.
The invention of speech , the written word or the wheel
and the taming and yoking the horse and ox were every bit as significant
as any other invention before or since.
In Buddha in India , Lao Tzu in China, Zorroaster in Persia , or Socrates and Aristotle in the Greek Isles,
and many others we have the first known entities that began
to deeply regard the world
with introspection ... with these above fellows ,
and later with the invention of "Jesus the Christ"
the power of one's own understanding of his
position in the world may be known thru his own individual
efforts , and not handed to him by a priest
or divine ruler , or come by thru human or animal sacrifice.
These kind of teacher's council was timely and the equivalent of
saying to little children "time out ".
Look around you and within you and see what you
can build there within.
The founding fathers of this nation , i think , had
a very strong sense of this ...we are still trying
to regain a sense of that beautiful potential
for "self-realization" and exploration they
must have envisioned.
Life the "Great Experience "....
