The river of life

[spiritualll]

I remember when I was a child I would go to a sort of a park which was rather like a big and beautiful garden. I would go to one of the many rivers there and I would stare at the flowing water and sometimes collect tadpoles in a bottle. Those little creatures are very connected to the river and to life. They spend all their life in the river, swim freely and one day die.

I still remember the image of the river now. The water was clean and not deep. A small river.

I believe that life is sacred.

That's a nice story that mirrors life. In truth, we're the tadpole in water. You are using a Greek word in the title, which has a linguistic meaning in parallel to Greek. It's like East / West. River of Life. Put two together to make one new meaning.

AMN in Greek means Lamb. In Hebrew, it means True, or our word Amen. Join the meanings, then look at all linguistic roots of AMN in Greek words. You will be amazed.

AMN - Lamb
AMNI - River of Life
AMNIO - Bowl catching the sacrifice of a Lamb in Roman times
AMNION - Sac covering a baby in the waters of a womb
AMNIOTIC - Water of the Womb
AMNESIA - Sia means condition, so not remembering your past life is Amnesia.
AMNESTY - When God forgets
dAMNATION - God remembering

It's the True Lamb, or Baptism. Immersion as sacrifice, rising to new life (born again). Baptism is the river of life, or the life we live. It's rebirth from John 3. Indeed, a tadpole becomes more, like a butterfly. Frogs become princes. Princes become Kings.

I did exactly the same, but it was an harbourside bay with sea creatures in rock pools

And i also believe Life is sacred.

And so are we and our individuality.
We need to respect that we're just a part of it.
We have yet to learn how to harmonise with it.

If any should wish for help in feeling part of all, this little thought may be an aid.
That we are not simply bodies passing through life, but life passing through bodies. petex.

Awesome quote. Not humans having a spiritual experience, but Spiritual Beings (Sattva) having a human experience. Temporary existence is not eternal truth (Sattva).
