Take the Astral Shuttle to Inner Space

Take the Astral Shuttle to Inner Space

Anything that can be done was already intrinsic to the circumstance of life on Earth. Even enlightenment is a part of the game. Death will free you sooner or later. The longer you live to see loved ones ripped away from you, the more clearly you can hear the clock ticking for yourself.

If there is one thing that is essential to Zen, it is to keep death close. Buddha used to have his disciples hang out and watch bodies being burned. What is it that invigorates this hunk of flesh? Who is acting out this play and who pray tell is watching?

If a tree falls in the forest and nobody hears it, it still sends a wave through the air. If humanity lives and no other species in the galaxy knows it, do we still make a sound? We should be given a cosmic Oscar just for being here.

All things take place within the parameters of the Universe. When Mario dies in one of his marvelous video games, do we shed a tear or do we simply play on with another life? Eventually he makes it through and so too will we. Sinking into the moment, we find the hidden escape hatch. We can take the astral shuttle to inner space. Navigating the light filled seas, we go nowhere, anywhere, and everywhere.

We have many experiences to get the feel for every experience. Cosmic mind is the total in pure potentiality….everything that was, is, or ever shall be, existing as oneness in concept…the ability to see things from every perspective…the ‘I’ behind every eye. As individuals we wake into an interconnected web, working back up the manifestation chain to tune in to our soul and unite with Source.
