Talking with Nature

[bitsmart]

Heer heer. I fully agree with this post. There is a natural great perfection to this universe, and truthfully everything is connected with everything on a certain level. I like to hug trees and draw energy from them. Some of the really old ones have stories to tell.

The biblical saying "God created man in his own image" is absolutely true. We're all children of God, and we're all gods ourselves; we just don't remember.

This moment IS perfect until the human mind starts to distort and label it. Our preconceptions and perceptions shape our reality. If you see things exactly as they are, perfect as they are, you start to notice amazing things. I speak from personal experience.

I'm reading the book shown in the subject by Michael Roads. It's very spiritual. It's all about how he can hear Nature's voice in his head, offering spiritual gifts along the way. Most of it has to do with the eternal "now" and how everything "is" everything else. You know, since god is everything, we are all god, thus we are all everything. One tidbit that I really liked was that at any and every momnet of our existence "This moment is perfect". I tried it out by closing my eyes and trying to think of anything around or within me that was truly wrong. My mind would try to come up with stuff, but you know what? There wasn't a single thing that was wrong, and nothing in the entire world that was wrong. I couldn't quite "feel" everything as perfect, but certainly nothing was "wrong". As the book says, it's not really like I'm reaching outside of myself for enlightenment, it's more that I just surrender myself to that perception. I can still feel some closed-off potions of myself, but I feel that I've taken a step. I still have desires and such (I'm human, they're part of being human), but it's all good, you know?  Ben
