Guest guest Posted June 15, 2007 Report Share Posted June 15, 2007 The journey to Godliness, is a journey. . . backward. It is a journey to the source, to the origin. It is not a journey forward. Because, Godliness is not 'destination' to reach . . . but, the Source of all journeys. Tracing back the source of matter, scientists end up at Big Bang, the event that created whole universe out Nothing. Trace the Source of a thought, an experience, an emotion, a feeling. . . and, we end up at the Formless Consciousness, the Nothingness that scientists say, is source of everything. And, in our case, that Big Bang happens every Moment. . . just before a thought, a feeling, an emotion is born. Trace it back and we always end up as same Nothingness, Formless Consciousness. . . which is also known as. . . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We don't reach Godliness by trying to 'become' something; we reach Godliness by tracing the Source and abiding there. We abide as by not starting the journey of 'incarnation', identification with the form, the 'incarnation', which usually, happens every moment! http://tinyurl.com/yoe5w6 { neither samsara nor nirvana is a place. Samsara is a process of creating places, even whole worlds, (this is called becoming) and then wandering through them (this is called birth). Nirvana is the end of this process. } Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And what you say about it happening *every moment*... just so! Indeed, what to me is the Now is just what you have said here. At any moment I can dissolve back deeper, to the most subtle nano-sense of breath/ light. Even as I write this... melting more primordial. I have many times tried to describe it, but always so much more complicated than what you have written here. I couldn't be more delighted that you have solved this riddle of communication for me!

I wonder about nirvana though... for it seems that perhaps nirvana is not ending the process but a seeing so completely through the process, seeing deeply to the very core, that its ordinarily toxic nature is finally remediated.
