~On Death~ You would know the secret of death? But how shall you find it unless you seek it in the heart of life? The owl whose night-bound eyes are blind unto the day cannot unveil the mystery of light. If you would indeed behold the spirit of death, open your heart wide unto the body of life. For life and death are one, even as the river and the sea are one. In the depth of your hopes and desires lies your silent knowledge of the beyond; And like seeds dreaming beneath the snow your heart dreams of spring. Trust the dreams, for in them is hidden the gate to eternity. Your fear of death is but the trembling of the shepherd when he stands before the king whose hand is to be laid upon him in honour. Is the sheered not joyful beneath his trembling, that he shall wear the mark of the king? Yet is he not more mindful of his trembling? For what is it to die but to stand naked in the wind and to melt into the sun? And what is to cease breathing, but to free the breath from its restless tides, that it may rise and expand and seek God unencumbered? Only when you drink form the river of silence shall you indeed sing. And when you have reached the mountain top, then you shall begin to climb. And when the earth shall claim your limbs, then shall you truly dance. *Your only young once but you can live forever....awaken ! open your eyes to the greater dream. ;-)

When you have lived so completely , that you have become life itself , understood all joys by diving deeply into the depths of man's sufferings...then you become free to transcend or ascend. Life and death become one with the eternal in the end. In our essence there is always been the original unstained , pure seed from the dawn of creation. A seed that is God himself. That "essence' that may lie deep within the atoms and is found everywhere wide flung throughout far galaxies and heavens, is truly the light of the creator. It is eternal and forever. It strives to restore, balance and create harmony even in the face of discord, always. You find it in the silences and the vibration of light. In the silences of your soul. It's power greater than a billion suns. It is as subtle as the scent of Orange Blossoms. It has the roar of a mighty waterfall, and as still as the sacred Caves of ascetics of yore. It has a sound that is sweet and pure only heard within the mind. And it is there shining always within you. Are we beings of light truly? So Christ suffered greatly when he saw and contemplated the suffering of humanity , but vould never swerve from his own "self Knowledge" of god. He was living in the Palm of God, and even with the threat of Crucifiction, betrayal , and the judgement of men, he could do no more than sacrafice his life , and continue to show the way. Such a Great A blessing, that he would die continuing to show the way, for he needed not care, but so defines the loving will of God. He died in the arms of truth. ..so it also is well to know that he made it all the way home , and returned to the Father. Jesus heard the sound and whisperings of the father and followed them untrembling to the end. Surely at times even Jesus knew despair, for he was a man . But the truth and knowledge of the father never let him be lost. Such a life , and so hard a journey. The world was his test, his journey. As now it is ours. Use well the days Civ ;-) Marsh
