Little stories as they fall.

Angry Bird

"Damn" said angry bird
"I wanted that perch!"

"Damn and double damn!"
What is it worth?

"You want to do a trade angry bird?" asked bird perched.
"Damn I just wanted that perch" squawked angry bird


"Trade I said, did you not hear me angry bird?"
"What are you saying perched bird, you will give up your perch for me if I give you this spot in my tree?" he squawked again

"Sure" said perched bird
"Damn it" squawked angry bird

"What are you damning now?" Perched bird asked angry bird

"I am just surprised that is all" said angry bird

"Surprised how?" asked perched bird

"Well I wanted that perch so bad, but you were perched right where I wanted to be, so it made me mad you know so I damned out loud. Then when you said you would trade me, I was so happy you wanted to give your spot up for me so I damned that too"

"So your little angry outbursts turned to joy almost immediately angry bird. All because I was willing to give you what you wanted almost immediately so that helped didn't it?" said perched bird.

"Sure I guess so" said angry bird

"Well" said perched bird. "What if I change my mind and don't trade with you?"

"How will you react then?"

"Are you saying no trade now?" squawked angry bird

"No, I am just asking you if I change my mind how will you react then?" said perched bird.

"Damn you, I just want that perch, I am willing to do a trade and I don't want to think about not getting what I want, you see?" angry bird squawked even louder at perched bird this time.

"So be it then" said perched bird. He slowly closed his eyes and went back to sleep.

I am all this
Cant you see?
Two little birds
You and me

How can I not
As creation speaks
Tells me so
Now I reap

Reap the efforts
To become effortlessly
The point of emptiness
That is creation's glee

The joyful imagery
Of knowing I am one
To know and be
I can make it fun

I can know
That as I see
As I create
Is as I be

There is no separation
In me from the thorns
From the anger
Or the valley
Where streams are born

It is
In knowing
Like birds of a feather
It is
in being
As one together

Sticking unattached
In me as all
Birds in trees
Anger and falls
Trees and feathers
You and I

So the stories I tell
Are from the wise
To know I am all this
And you are too

Nothing can separate
the creators view

As birds of a feather
I am the feathers
I am the birds
I am the perched one
I am the angry words

But am I
All this just to know
To find the words
As my knowing flow..

Consciousness continues after brain activity ceases.
In life we practice death moments.
In NDE we practice both life and death as one source.
In death we continue on as consciousness.
In life we continue on with life as all this if we need to be all this.


Why?
So we learn to trust in life more complete.
Why do some require all this and others not to live their life?
Because some are here to open gateways of origin in the nature of balancing the whole
Why?
Because life is an incomplete/complete state of movement that seeks itself to move more complete as itself so some move differently that is all.
Why do we need to know all this?
So we trust in the unknown of life moving as one with knowing of life in us. The more we know the more we come to not know.
Why?
So we learn to see that life is more than what just is and what we see and know.
Why do we need to adjust to the unknown of life in this way?
Because people are afraid of the unknown.
Why do they fear the unknown?
Because they fear not knowing, they feel unsafe.
What creates safety?
Our earliest memories create both safe and unsafe memories.
Why do they influence us to be this way?
Because they create us to be in this world in everyway this world is created. Our memories reflect who we are into this world in everyway we know ourselves to be in this world. We become a reflection of the world in us.
So I create myself based on the world?
Yes. Until you break free from the world as your reflection and open to more of life beyond just human ways.
So what more is there to reflect on?
A whole big wide open universe moving through us all.
So the moon and stars are my reflection in me?
Yes your seeing the world in its natural state as you are and can be.
What is natural state?
It is just being you.
Is that all I am?
Yes that is being you naturally.
So look to the natural world beyond humans and I will find my own natural state?
Yes you can if you do this.
How do I do this?
By listening.
With my ears?
No with your whole being.
No one ever taught me how to listen past my ears though.
That's why the moon and the stars, the sun, the trees, the sky, clouds, rain and sand, earth and waters show you more clearly how to do this.
But how?
By being in it and experiencing you in all that.
You mean nature helps me to listen deeper beyond my ears and with my whole being?
Yes it does.
But how?
Because you are nature.
I am?
Yes you are.
But I am me?
You are everything where you are, when you listen.
Ok so next time I am in nature, I will listen to nature not humans and know my whole self is listening?
Yes.
But how will I know if I am listening with more than my ears?
Because nature is whole and complete and it naturally reflects what you are even without knowing.
Really?
Yes.
So the more I am in nature, the more I can listen more grounded as myself complete.
Yes.
That is too easy!
You know what humans say don't you?
What?
Life wasn't meant to easy.
True they do.
So it appears your listening deeper already I wonder why?
I don't know


Exactly.
