Title: A Zen Buddhist

Gender: Male

Age: Ageless

Chinese Sign: Wood Rabbit

I have been on a spiritual path for sometime now (really my whole life) and have just recently decided the path of a Buddhist. I could never really see myself as being apart of any one religion, they just didn't feel right for me and the fact that as a child it was like walking on egg shells with ‘My way or the highway' attitude about them. After reading and studying Deepak Chopra, the conversations with god books, Bhagavad-Gita, and various other religious text and spiritual leaders, I have to say and this is going to sound like a bold statement and diffidently not form a spiritual teacher because a true spiritual teacher does not have the ego to say such a thing, but I believe…well know that I have figured it all out. The problem is I'm having trouble living it. That is why I have gone against my non religious following and decided to practice Buddhism. I have declared myself a Buddhist for many reasons but most of all because living the life of a Buddhist in my mind will guide me to the way of life I know and want to live.

So my change to the world would be through the way I live and not what I necessarily say. People will find their way when they are ready, sometime their just not ready for a certain perspective. If someone were to travel back in time 2000 years ago and declare the world was round. Who is going to believe you, knowing their perspective and understanding in those times. They would just not be ready for it and would not have the capacity to understand how this could be true.
 

I believe this web site will help speed up the process, God and all gods knows we need the help? So I'm glad to be part of the prcess and will help co-create the universe from moment to moment.

I AM WHO I AM

I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me (phil 4:13). Nothing in my world is real. The meaning of everything is the meaning I give it, and my experience is what I say it is (CwG Neale Donald Walsch).

My pain and suffering is an illusion, for suffering is a state of mind. I am one with all thing and all things are one with me. I am the man who has it all and the bum who asks for anything. I am the woman who is violated and the man who violates her. I am the new born child and also the dying old man.  I am the man who orders the death of millions and I am also the man who brings freedom for millions.

I am my body as I am the air I breathe. I am the grass and the trees that dance in the wind and I am the wind that is the cause of the dance. I am the rocks and the sand of the earth and the stars and galaxies of the universe. I am all thing, all beings. I am all that is and all that ever will be. I am the past, present, and future, for all is happening now, all there is, is this moment. As an observer I see all possibilities unfolding at this moment.

Nothing is outside of me. All things resonate from my pure spirit the observer. The feeling of two becomes one. I am complete always and in all ways. I am the unmoved mover.

We can do all things through Christ who strengthens us, for we are all one. Nothing in our world is real, for we created this universe to experience all possibilities. The meaning of everything is the meaning we give it and our experience is what we say it, for that is what this life was created for, to be the seer and the seen and to experience what it is like to not be God, only to realize we are God.

But in the end as in the beginning I am Emptiness unless I am Whole!

This is my Mantra
