I see all the belief systems as wagons that may enable you to travel a path to your 'higher' self. Each of the wagons are different of configuration. Some may be lighter, have less wheels, and could be more nimble. Others are heavier, have more wheels, are more rigid, and take longer to adapt to changes in the path.

When the path is smooth, the large vehicles carry more momentum, have a longer wheel base and therefore could be faster and more pleasant to travel with.

When the path is rocky and bumpy, the large vehicles are easier to get stuck. The smaller and simpler vehicles offer you more terrain negotiation.

And then there is the vehicle we are born with, it has no wheels, it can climb and negotiate most of the terrain changes on your path.

For some reason, or the other, we think that we need a vehicle to bring us there, but in my mind we are born with the optimal vehicle, our body. We just have to accept the fact that our body can bring us there and we don't need an external vehicle.

I see the Plants and Animals as sources that can enable us the negotiate the path back to our true Self. In fact I think that they are helping us and giving us clues on how to find our true Self.

After we have found our body back we may be able to travel the path further or it could be that finding your true Self is the destination. We can only find out after we have arrived by our true Self.

And therefore I say; Stay awake and Flux on!
