~Odyssey of Autumn's Breath

This life's movement for me is the work of erasing myself  to experience what I am. In a visit with a good student of Buddhism, we came across this:

life is not a riddle to be solved,

So, too, for me, eroding the ego helps one to experience the truth of what they are, some call it Spirit-soul. The truth of our existence that life is a reality to be lived and a dream we are having, both true.

Karma, measure for measure, or to do unto others as you would have done unto you are all an affirmations of the truth that God is one, and how we treat others is, in a direct and practical way, how we treat ourself. We receive what we give. Dalai Lama says:

“what you want for yourself, provide for another.”

Everything is one, and this is the truth of our existence. Karma is not another law, but a practical expression of the unity of existence. Everything is one, and that one thing is love. It's essence may be concealed from our eyes and ears, but if we train ourselves through meditation to see clearly, we see that all is an expression of One great love that is not separate from us, that never ends, only changes and forever is…
