ms;"&gt;"Empty in nature” means nothing more than “incomplete". Incomplete Potential is Reality; the "Pregnant Void". Full, but empty... moving NOW with infinite possibilities for Eternity.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;"&gt;Comment: and we are taught that to be incomplete is to be less than whole, hah ha ha ha!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;"&gt;Holly: Yes... many people believe there is a "place" (Heaven) where everything is perfect.  If there was complete perfection, there would be nothing.  If nothing is needing or lacking, there is no movement which means what?  There is no Life.  Life is movement with empty Potential.  We don't want perfection or there would be no room for growth... movement... Life.  This is perfect, as it is; open with possibilities.  This does not imply Life is perfect as it is being lived/experienced by egos gone mad, but that with potential it can continue, rather than remain stagnant and complete... OVER.  Stagnant is death.  Movement is Life.&lt;/span&gt;</description><thr:total xmlns:thr="http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0">0</thr:total><author>noreply@blogger.com (holly@definitionlife.com)</author></item><item><title>Mind stuck in "Time"</title><link>http://definitionlife.blogspot.com/2007/08/mind-stuck-in-time.html</link><category>after-life</category><category>awakened</category><category>awareness</category><category>buddha</category><category>christianity</category><category>death</category><category>enlightened</category><category>god</category><category>god realized</category><category>heaven</category><category>hindu</category><category>life</category><category>nirvana</category><category>philosophy</category><category>reincarnation</category><category>religion</category><category>self</category><category>soul</category><category>spirit</category><category>yoga</category><pubDate>Fri, 10 Aug 2007 19:58:00 -0700</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4365246660133124427.post-2686005271524287468</guid><description>&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;The mind is always running behind the experience, or tying to cut it off, but never truly involved NOW.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Try being involved RIGHT NOW with exactly what is taking place AS it is taking place.  Are you always a second behind?  So, NOW has left and "you" are wandering in the past.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;To TRULY experience NOW, the Ulitmate Reality, that "you" must be seen for what it IS.  Nothing more than a thought running a second behind (or ahead of) Reality.

However, to a mind /ego horrified by the prospect of 'death', 'ending' or 'a life with no meaning' this Truth implies that this life lived is a waste and a joke.  During the search, the cosmic joke is KNOWN, but not in any way does life lose its value.  Rather, ALL has value, so the thought of value becomes null in void.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;Compare "no purpose" to a butterfly.  A butterly, to itself, has no meaning.  It goes through change, movement and just IS without needing to do or be anything contrary to its nature.  A butterfly is not aware of "purpose" or "meaning"... a butterfly is not even aware of its apparent separateness from Life.  You, right this very second, are that butterfly.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;The nature of Life / Self / God is simply Itself: Life.  There is no need to be anything else... It is ALL.  There is no need to become anything else... It is ALL there IS.  There is no purpose to Its movement... ALL movement is Its Potential, Unlimited and Unending, with no purpose other than expressing Itself in Infinite ways for Eternity.  Life is simply Life with no purpose other than Living.  You, dear ones, are That.    &lt;/span&gt;</description><thr:total xmlns:thr="http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0">0</thr:total><author>noreply@blogger.com (holly@definitionlife.com)</author></item><item><title>What is fear</title><link>http://definitionlife.blogspot.com/2007/08/what-is-fear.html</link><category>after-life</category><category>awakened</category><category>awareness</category><category>buddha</category><category>christianity</category><category>death</category><category>enlightened</category><category>god</category><category>god realized</category><category>heaven</category><category>hindu</category><category>life</category><category>nirvana</category><category>philosophy</category><category>reincarnation</category><category>religion</category><category>self</category><category>soul</category><category>spirit</category><category>yoga</category><pubDate>Tue, 7 Aug 2007 21:41:00 -0700</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4365246660133124427.post-4367134682755763864</guid><description>&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;Fear is one of the hardest of the emotions to "overcome" or rather, to "find its transparency". Fear is at the core of every emotion felt while operating as a "me", except for the rare deep joy that is felt "within". And what is that fear? The need to protect that "me". When one is angry, they are trying to protect that "me" out of fear. When one is sad, they are trying to protect that "me" out of fear. When one loves, (not the Real unattached Love, but the love that needs to control, attach to and cling to), they are trying to proect that "me" out of fear. Even when one is happy, fear drives the need to "remain happy" to try and protect that me. Fear is the basic human driver of almost every emotion and most certainly the last of those transparent emotions to be seen through. This is most certain, when the last of that "fear" has dissolved, so have "you".&lt;/span&gt;</description><thr:total xmlns:thr="http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0">4</thr:total><author>noreply@blogger.com (holly@definitionlife.com)</author></item></channel></rss>
