Guest guest Posted July 14, 2003 Report Share Posted July 14, 2003 How I am everything The tree is a tree to me. The house is a house to me. The tree is a home to the bird and the house is just a smelly place. The sky does not have the potential to become a tree, or the bird to become a horse. The essence of potential is that it has no current existence. It lies in wait to become whatever its potential is. A tree becomes a shade to me and a home to a bird but it cannot become the sky. Water can become ice or vapor but not diamond. The attributes given to parts of the whole can only take place with consciousness. The mind forms a shape for an item to describe its use and consciousness takes that form to make it seem real so the life form can participate up to its potential. The intense beauty of individual consciousness is that it has no limitation. It is not a part of the whole because it is not limited by attributes. I am said to be everything because I am nothing in particular, that is, I have the potential to be anything so I must be without attributes. Indeed, anything must be formed by consciousness to be said to have potential at all. I am said to be everything because I am consciousness. Love Bobby G.

Guest guest Posted July 15, 2003 Report Share Posted July 15, 2003 Bigbobgraham < How I am everything Dear Bobby G: Gee, whiz, you are everything Why why why? WHY? Because I love you!!! OK, so nothing profound from this department :-) So sue me... No, enlighten me Then I can be profound And utter words without a sound Seriously, you have been on my mind for over a week now. I was going to email you to make sure you were OK. Then out of nowhere, you popped up with your post At least, now, I know what you were doing, sort of :-) And how you are doing, sort of... Um, if you lived in a treehouse, then it would mean something to you, would it not? By the way, Is your house smelly? ------------------------- So, James can be eloquent Eric can be poetic And I will be the lunatic Speaking of the moon, some of the posts on some of the lists (not this one, of course) are fuller than the moon right now I really think there is something to that... AHA...I Am That...so there Love and kisses of nothingness and sugar and spice and everything nice, Joyce PS Be nice to others > How I am everything > > The tree is a tree to me. > The house is a house to me. > > The tree is a home to the bird and > the house is just a smelly place. > > The sky does not have the potential to become > a tree, or the bird to become a horse. > > The essence of potential is that it has no current existence.
