Question by Karma of the Poodle: Influences of enlightenment in beliefs?
Can you describe your physical and metaphysical understandings this way?
Spirit with no spirituality
Religion without Dogma
Living and dead
Happy without need
Sad without sadness
Whole but in parts
Singing without song
Enlightened but not learned
Above but not below
Are we not these things? Above all religions our own temple of religion? We are ultimate sacrifice without losing anything. Sharing it with another to reach the enlightenment that only 2 or more can reach in the ultimate expression of consciousness?
I see some are confused about my statement. These are the things I, myself, feel at times of my spiritual searching. To find the balance in all things but take into consideration of those and their beliefs. We are ALL one. We may not believe in the same label of belief but religion is in ourselves and not a group. All paths are seperate but we all experience these things, maybe differently, but I was trying to show the commonality of it all. We ARE ourselves and being one with eachother. A common thread of enlightenment seekers reaching for that Nirvana Raji explained.

It sounds like you are Looking and have found some but that s not it. In the Bible – Peter was like that. Jesus called Him the Rock. But He denied him 3 times. and He found His and the answer is recorded in Acts 2 -38. Something he lived his life for.
Karma, if ONLY Spirituality COULD be reduced to a collection of one line slogans. Unfortunately, it is far beyond the capacity of one line sayings to adequately describe. Each of us must form our OWN understanding of our place in the “big picture” with respect to our personal sense of Spirituality. There is NO “One Size Fits All” set of guidelines which works for everyone, in spite of what SOME Religions state when referring to their scriptural source. WE each have our own concept of Deity, “Nirvana”, and a moral center from which to begin our search for oneness with the Divine. We each have a different goal from the next person no matter how closely similar our goals may appear. Each of our goals has that touch of individuality to it which differentiates our goal from another’s whose MAY be similar on the surface. While your words MAY indeed be beautiful (and they ARE), each of us will see them and come to a slightly different interpretation based on our perceptions of the universe around us and our roles in it.
We MAY share our interpretations with others and that may or may not shape their views and interpretations a bit but, that new interpretation by them will STILL be slightly different from OUR interpretation for our OWN goals are still slightly different, no matter HOW similar they may appear to be. This is why those Religions whcih insist on total and complete conformity are doomed to pass away into the void and those which honor and respect our individual differences while still being able to share our views, interpretations and concepts, will endure long past the more structured Faiths.

All is…perfect…as are the thought you’ve shared here! But, we are not these things, words or thought. We are simply the expression of the Divine, however you may define that for yourself. So you are right, for you, about you…only you. You are perfect; so am I…let’s dance!
I think that’s good insight to it. Many don’t really believe that we are all one and a lot of people do believe in religions. That can’t be changed. But if you want to share more of these ideas with people who are open minded and share some of the same thoughts, then visit http://www.moonlitdreams.net. Hope to hear from you soon!
