Ok, here's a thought for you.
Recall how in the bible Jesus purportedly says:
"unless you become as little children you shall not enter the kingdom of heaven.?"
Well, i've been thinking. Seems i once believed that Jesus was speaking in some sort of well, "tongue," so to speak. A poetic reference to some metaphor or euphoric state. Or maybe something pointing to something obscurely Jewish, or esoterically Greek, or mythically Roman. Or maybe astrologic. But lately i've been wondering............lately i've become curious........that maybe just maybe Jesus meant to be taken literally.
That: "Unless you become as a little child you shall not enter the kingdom of heaven." What if to enter the kingdom of heaven one has to embody child-like attitudes? What if its as simple, as ordinary, as "plain as the nose on the face." simple?
So, can i? Am i willing? to continue to play a holy fool? Continue to talk to the wind and the trees, the flowers and the bees laughing with delight as i might do so. Of being filled with light. Of overflowing with big sky mind / big ocean heart? I can. I will when conditions arise such that.......
