Guest guest Report post Posted July 5, 2004 Once upon a time, a young fish asked an old fish: "Everyone talks about this thing they call 'ocean.' What the heck is it?" The older and wiser fish answered: "The ocean is this thing that surrounds you on all sides." The younger fish didn't understand: "There's nothing around me! Why can I not see this 'ocean?'" "Of course you cannot," the old fish was patient. "The ocean is both inside and outside of you. You were born in the ocean and chances are you will die in it. The ocean flows around you, just as your own skin does." Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest guest Report post Posted July 6, 2004 We are surrounded by God in His various manifestations to the point of even being a part of Him, yet we ask where is God? Is there God? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest guest Report post Posted July 9, 2004 One needn't jump (or fall) from the consciousness of God to appreciate the all pervading nature of God. Indeed it is just the opposite. The jumping is the forgetting. One Hand Waving Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
