We are (Get ready for this, as ridiculously unbelievable as it is) vehicles of transcendence. We are transcendent reality writ large, spilling over, pouring out. Along with Jesus, we all can say, "The Father and I are one!" Except but... If only... We are at once, transcendent wonders and the slime at the bottom of the pond. "OM Mani Padme Hum" was produced for us about us. Except but... If only... We all are one slight shift in perspective away from knowing and being it is so. That slight perspective shift is called "Enlightenment." It is realizing what's what. It is knowing and being what's what. It is acting/living as though what's what is what, thoroughly, completely, absolutely. We are one slight perspective shift away from it all being so. Except but only... What? Except but only what? What is standing in the way? Keeping us from seeing/knowing/ understanding/being what is so? Don't let life get in the way!
