Death is coming

The closer death creeps up upon me the less I am able to understand the reasons for life or living.

Yes I have experienced a close family member dying and unlike television it takes decades to handle such a thing. To think I am going to put my family through such a thing when I finally leave is more horrific to me than the thought of death itself.

My life was and is still a learning experience but when all said and done what am I to do with all this accumulated learning over my lifetime if I just die. There is no logic or reason to this.

Long ago I became aware that the God story that is sold to the majority is just a nice story to give mankind with a message of a basic layout of how nice life could be if everyone followed these ideas. Not many in life do and if one thinks about it the good and evil structures actually depend on each other. The good that can be experienced in life is only understood as good when there is it's opposite to compare it to. This is not rocket science only common sense in reality. I am not saying we need to experience bad but understanding in it is needed to appreciate the great things many of us can have in our lives. From birth to death there are many ways mankind helps his fellow man. How many ways can you help?

Relaxation By Yourself In Nature

By Heather Anderson


When you are completely in a state of relaxation then there's no separation in between yourself and nature. It's like your feeling of self simply dissolves and you become part of every thing about you. There is no boundary between exactly where you finish and exactly where nature begins.

This state of consciousness is called 'non-ordinary reality' and it is almost dream-like and part dream-state. Nevertheless with out the distractions of 'ordinary' existence and also the time and space to be it is not that uncommon to spontaneously drop into becoming at one with nature.

It is this 'space' exactly where most of my biggest insights have come from whilst out on the nature quest. The reason for that is that my conscious thoughts is out of the way and it feels like I am obtaining immediate messages from nature and spirit. This really is part of the transition phase with the vision quest process because you're attaining insights across the intention you set.

Being at 1 with nature is a most magical and nearly enlightened area to dwell. It feels like you're 'in tune' with everything that's going on about you moment by moment. I've spoken with some Tibetan monks about it at a monastery I stayed at in Austria and they described the state of enlightenment to feeling quite comparable.

However, I discover investing time on your own for 3-4 days in nature with out distractions allows the space for being at one with nature to happen. Then almost spontaneously it is relatively easy to drop into it without trying.

Whilst there it's most easy to appreciate the mental space. Nevertheless the point of this really is to then integrate the insights you obtain into your daily life whenever you are able to enter the third re-integration stage. For instance, if you get the sense of melting into one with nature the next stage is to incorporate this into your every day life.

That means that you should try to align your existence inside a way that there is no feeling of separation between your self and anyone that you meet. There ought to be no feeling of separation in between any object that you see. This feeling of being in a sense of relaxation is a real and tangible state to reside your life from. It is just a matter of integrating this way of being into your existence in each and every second to ensure that your every day life is usually linked towards the truth of what is true.
