To laugh often and much; to win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children...to leave the world a better place...to know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived. This is to have succeeded. - Ralph Waldo Emerson
I believe in what is called God, a collective intelligent universal higher power. I also believe that It created Us so It could 'experience' all that creation and It gave us the power to create as well. I believe we choose relationsips so that we can better know who We are.
Just read a little online. Sounds fascinating. Paro, a beautiful valley in Bhutan, is one of the most attractive tourist destinations of this mountenous country.
Paro, the most beautiful of all Bhutan's valley, was also historically the centre of two of the most important trade routes to Tibet.
Today the new road to Phuntsholing on the Indian border runs through the valley, amid a patch work of rice, paddies, wheat fields, trout filled streams and scattered settlements.
Here the Paro Chuu flows south from its watershed in the chomolahri range. Above it in a rocky outcrop of the sleep hillside stands the Paro Dzong, at an altitude of just over 7000 feet, over looking both sides of the valley this dzong was historically one of Bhutan's strongest and most strategic fortresses. Before the rebuilding of the Tashi Chho Dzong at Thimpu, it was also the seat of the National Assembly. The Paro Dzong has a long and fascinating history. A monastery was first guilt on the site by Padma Sambhava at the beginning of the tenth century.
When in future years, the legend goes a lama went into the forest to prepare planks for a chapel, he uttered the mantra "Hun" and the planks miraculously moved on their own town the site work on the Hunrey Gompa, carries on by the village by day, was continued at night by the spirit and the hoof marks left by their horses are still visible today as evidence for the unbelieving.
We, you and I, have many conflicted thoughts but who's to know who is right?
I enjoy intellectualization too. Somtimes concepts that are simple resonate with me.
Some simple things make sense.
I really respect your beliefs. I think we both have a lot to 'remember'.
Truly, lots of love to you, FunGuyWithBrain. I like you.
I'm sorry I wrote anything about a stupid riddle. My ego got the best of me. You are highly intelligent. Keep searching and I hope you do find out something more to let us all remember. You're cool.
The Universe and beyond and beyonder is intelligent.
He, Him, She, It, Universal Intelligence,Mother Nature, Mister Nature, The Great White Whatever... wanted to experience Herself, hahaha
Him created little twinkling souls as reference points to experience HIS/HER/IT's magnificience.
We create just as the Original Intelligence creates because WE are parts of .... IT.
We've been doing this a loooong time - us, twinkly souls. Sometimes we forget what we are doing here. To experience and create - really to have some fun. But, we forget.
I've forgotten a lot so I'm trying to remember things. I don't remember answers offhand but they are all there (the answers) inside. AND, through YOU, in relationships.
RE: has anyone read the book the Secret by Rhonda Byrne
