Buddha and Jesus on The Mountain: Original Story

in #earthnation6 years ago (edited)

You embark on the gorgeous day ahead, with a sound, positive mind and excitement!

For you are committed to bagging the peak of Mt. Liberation.

Feeling confidently guided by a strong voice of inner conscience, a Godly calling summons you to the adventure.

The message is clear and strong and you are sure of a heavenly experience, meeting your maker, at the top of the most difficult summit climb you have ever embarked on.

As you ascend, working hard, muscles and joints dutifully heed your mind’s direction. You keep your eye on the prize. You're on your way.

Seemingly floating with ease past you, Buddha smiles gently asking "what are you doing?"

You respond that you are on your way to the summit where you will know God, and to this achievement you are devoted!

In Buddha's reflection, you wonder, Am I working harder than I need to?

Within moments, like a swift gust of wind, Buddha has dissolved into the distance.

Another 6 hours up the mountain, you are fatigued, yet are finding deep inner strength to continue the journey upward and onward.

You come upon the most gorgeous brightly floral meadow you have ever seen. Jesus, adorned in white robe as per usual asks, "where are you going?"

Excited by this heavenly visit, you take this as a sign, that you're on your way, and respond with light hearted confidence, “On my way to meet God!"

Jesus responds simply, “Is God not right here? and here?" gesturing to the divine appointment of the moment, the vast valley below, and finally wipes his arm high into the sky in the direction of the sun.

Feeling certain, you safely answer, "that the summit beyond, at the very top is much grander, sublime and heavenly in fact, and you are being guided to meet your maker."

Not a moment later, you decide not to waste time at the meadow and continue towards your goal. As you proceed to lift each limb bearing the intense summer heat, you wonder why Jesus thought not to seek more, content at the meadow, like any other.

Persistent and determined, you know you are being summoned by God, and so proud by your diligence and fortitude you keep on. Your heart beats fast, and you climb with a nice wave of adrenaline. The pulsations in your chest and heavy breathing assure you that you are in a body and for this you find gratitude and feel immense peace, for your mind was not off and about on its usual wonderings and this feeling of clarity is pleasant and Godly.

One thing though, is nagging, pressing in your mind “Will I really see God?” You felt for certain that God was guiding your way. This you were sure of. The day’s venture had a purpose and a goal, and your efforts fulfilled a desire for sweet Godly peace and the nectar of victory!?

Onward and upward you summon the strength to keep going. Your original plan was divinely guided and this knowing felt good and fueled you through the heat of the day.

Another 2 hours later, you ponder stopping and turning back, for your feet are quite blistering and soar, and the sun’s rays have obviously penetrated through your facial protection.

And Yet, you set in your mind that only upon summitting the pristine peak, will you find what you were looking for.

Already this is an incredible journey!

You met Buddha, seemingly too cool for school, and had a friendly chat with Jesus... you are now even more certain that you were bound for success.

After a long day’s work, heavy limbed and dizzy, you are indeed feeling quite satisfied when you begin to see the summit’s peak. What you have been searching for, will surely be found.

With a final surge of energy you take the last 100 steps, feeling satisfied and successful, you feel your heart pumping, fast, as you absorb the vast heavenly landscape before your eyes.

Wait?! And what is this? Chilling at the top, resting on a rock, Buddha and Jesus greet you with a wink and the offering of a freshly cooked sandwich, and a fresh cold beer.

What?! these guys again?

Exhausted, you are happy with the friendly greeting, but a bit perplexed.

Where is the main cheese? Where is God? you wonder?

After a friendly chat with Buddha and Jesus about how beautiful the moment is, with glorious sun, a heavenly view, and deep blue vast skies, assuming you had done what could be done, you decide to make your way down the mountain before its too dark.

You feel happy, yet still left wanting more, and wonderfully perplexed, you wonder how you could of misread the signs.

You pondered what you do differently next time to perfect the experience, to meet God?

And, still, wondering when that same heavenly voice that guided you up the summit would summon you once again,

and Alas you would meet God! <3 ;-)

I LOVE YOU, Lila*Star

@upvoted

And thus I ask you; Who or what is God to you? Waht is your image of the concept of God?
As with all alegorys, there is not a 1 way to see the meaning to take from them, yet there is in essence only 1 messege behind each. But wil we find it?

TY for asking. God to me is the presence of every being and every thing. God is the sum of it ALL. The Divine Intelligence that is us, in us, houses us, and guides us. Aloha Ke Akua = God is Love.
