    The greatest wisdom there is, to realise you’ve already arrived, because there was never anywhere to go except to be here and now…

      So this is it? Pretty pointless, huh? Now what?
      Open your eyes!
      Luke 6:39 - _And He spoke a parable to them: “Can the blind lead the blind? Will they not both fall into the ditch?_
      2 Corinthians 4:3-4 - _But even if our gospel is veiled, it is veiled to those who are perishing, whose minds the god of this age has blinded, who do not believe, lest the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine on them.
      Ephesians 6:12 - _For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places._
      John 14: 6 - _"I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me"_ - Jesus
      John 8:31 - _“...If you abide in My word, you are My disciples indeed. And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.”_ - Jesus

      Matthew 7:13-14 - _"Enter by the narrow gate; for wide is the gate and broad is the way that leads to destruction, and there are many who go in by it. Because narrow is the gate and difficult is the way which leads to life, and there are few who find it."_ - Jesus

    Such astonishing wisdom! The Buddha at first refused to teach, because he did not believe that humans could understand the simplicity and, really, the nuances he Awakened to. He had to be asked 3 times before he decided to Teach. And, here we are "Now," being given so many opportunities to reach that beautiful Simplicity. Amazing! Thank you for this reminder.

      Nah, it needs Jesus more than ever! With the amount of social decay, corruption and crime, immorality rife, we all need the one and only saviour, Jesus Christ.
      John 8:12 - Then Jesus spoke to them again, saying, _“I am the light of the world. He who follows Me shall not walk in darkness, but have the light of life.”_
      John 7:37 - _"If anyone thirsts, let him come to Me and drink. He who believes in Me, as the Scripture has said, out of his heart will flow rivers of living water."_ - Jesus

    Where is there?
    Where are you going?
    You may be there already but you don’t notice it.
    You have to let go your past to get through the Pearly Gate.
    Your future is rear view mirror of your past.
    4:43
    Are you a head or a tail?
    This moment is the creation of the Universe.
    This moment is the Big Bang.
    You don’t strain in creation.
    Look at now.
    See it happening, not where it comes from.
    It happens.
    6:24
    What you want is the same question as what is now, what is life.
    Look at the way it comes.
    Thanks Alan. 9 April 2024. 🌹🔥🍀🤣🍑🍺🍁🚗💗🦒🥂🤣

    I’m going to be a tree next at least I want to be put in a tree urn so moving at all and breathing until that happens, is nice. ♥️🌳 I don’t have anywhere to go or anything to accomplish I just like being wherever I am for that day and being alone if the people that day are too toxic to interact with. And even if my SO flushes me, nbd the sewers are where the tmnt hang out lol and if it’s just tossed in the garbage, also cool. Part of the cycle :)
