Now. If I am not here something is missing from the great fullness of life. If I am fully here, all is well, complete, as it should be. ‘Now is the acceptable time, now is the time of salvation.’ when I have reached my final now moment I will be absorbed into the total fullness of life. 1 Reply Hot Sauce6 years agoHot SauceLive in harmony with nature; obey the dharma that is revealed to me; practice gratitude; embrace the yin/yang in all of life and don't resist what comes but flow with it ("To yield is to conquer"); follow my social roles and duties with zeal; imitate God in the way I treat others, remembering that LOVE is my true nature; follow my deepest desires; study and learn from science; study UFOs and aliens; practice being playful, creative, and theatrical, getting in touch with my inner child; run like ...

How can I contribute to the “great fullness” of life? By dispelling the “great fear-ness” which is taking over Western Society. Again this is the time of year when some attention is payed to Joshua Emanuel the Christ and this is a site basted on the works of Br David a folower of J.EtC. so it should come as no surprise that Matt 17:20 and the values behind it’s words ought to be the prime pointer to entering the great “fullness” of life. 20 Jesus said to them, Because of your unbelief; for truly I say to you, If there is faith in you even as a grain of mustard, you will say to this mountain, move away from here, and it will move away; and nothing would prevail over you. If not that passage then surely ..

Sufficient for each day is its troubles. And paying respect to Br David here by connecting the above with a quote from “Faith beyond Belief”.. “Faith means trust – ultimately in life. When we trust in life, we trust the source of life. ” And he quoted Suzuki Roshi “the opposite of faith is fear.” Read More4 Reply Elaine6 years agoElaineCreate something.

To take care of my wellbeing and to share quality time with friends, family, and community. To be reminded that we all go through things and to give when I can. Also to be receptive and receiving, giving another the opportunity to share their love and gifts. The mystery of giving goes both ways in the exchange. That is where I see the great fullness of life. 3 Reply Antoinette6 years agoAntoinetteI can contribute to the great fullness of life by determination to live love and compassion each moment. Spread joyful love for the gift of life. 2 Reply Doreen Nixon6 years agoDoreen NixonBy living in the moment! 3 Reply Kevin6 years agoKevinBy living my own life fully, each and every day. That said, my mind and heart turns to the victims of the tragic school shooting in Florida this past week and their many grieving family members and friends. The “great fullness” of their lives has been crushed out forever. It seems to me that every time mankind turns on itself, from wars to rage, it chips away at the fullness of our own collective humanity. 5 Reply elizabeth ward6 years agoelizabeth wardI don’t think the great fullness of their lives has been crushed out for ever.
