Beltane and Eternity

“You are not IN the universe, you ARE the universe, an intrinsic part of it. Ultimately you are not a person, but a focal point where the universe is becoming conscious of itself. What an amazing miracle.”  - Eckhart Tolle from "A New Earth"

 

As Samhain is about honoring Death, Beltane, its counter part, is about honoring Life. And so is the cycles of life eternal, a balance between the light and the dark. The opposite of death is actually not life, but birth.... something I learned from Eckhart Tolle. Life is eternal. Eternity is now and we do not die but transform from one form to another...from human back to mother Earth to feed new life. When this new life rises from death it is like the phoenix rising from the ashes and becoming again. Consciousness and being are one in the same. This is the Cosmic existence all of us are eternally bound to.
