You are here to allow the world to unfold ,
as my daughter asked me
" What would be here if i weren't ?"

That's a perfect Koan.

Children are so smart before they are taught too much. :wink:

 

[okgb]

I know , i was so proud ,
then she got over it
but for a moment she stopped time

 

[fum]

Wow, that's as good as "How am I not myself?" =)

 

[okgb]

Or the more common ones

At this moment , what is lacking

If not now , when




because , of course , this very moment is the perfect teacher ,

Yeah Um what i mean is Yeah
or is that yum

Well lets say music is fundamental to life as a vibration
like the structure of everything , molecules

And the natural default of life is ease & joy
it's only modern society adding [ selling ] anguish

At the risk of being too serious and not adding another funny to this thread, the meaning and purpose of life is simple...to be happy.

 

[okgb]

God is different things to different people , or everything to some ,
and everything IS god to others
quite a misused word these days

happiness as ptown points out is very simple such that people either miss or dismiss it

How do you become happy ? by being happy

Or there is no way to happiness , happiness is the way
and that happiness is the joy that is the natural default of life
get back to where you came

most things need not be any more complicated , the " act as if "
and then you become , comes from Maslow a little ways back

 

[okgb]

Life is life ? no less , no more , perilous to ignore ,
the big question is every question , one step ,
ALL paths lead to the same place
