The One Bridge We All Need.

In thinking about bridges, it was not long before the obvious gap between individuals arose in my consciousness. If there is separation between individuals that what is needed to overcome the sense of separation.

To continue the figure of bridges what type of bridge would bridge the gap? Yes, the one bridge we all need is the bridge of love. Love your neighbour as yourself.

Hi Col,

In response to your blog of interest. http://www.simplelifeinchrist.com/have-we-co-opted-our-faith/

In his paradigm he is interesting but he is speaking from his perspective of the church of christ. It is a bridge that some will find interesting and will used to enter into that perspective, he will lead over his bridge into his perspective of the church. Will it be the same as what I knew or you knew, we will have to cross that bridge to see, I think I will give it a miss. Re transforming platforms, if I don't have anything more to say it doesn't matter, really can't add anymore to reality. Reality is, This is it.

Transforming Platforms, Bridges on the way.

No gurus, messiahs, prophets just transforming bridges to be traversed on the way that is no way.

People and their views are just platforms for viewing reality from their perspective. Whether it is Brad, Col or Peter. If I add to this blog it will just be to take a look from the different writers' perspectives. If you never crossed any of these bridges it doesn't matter because reality is where you are; there is no path to it, you are right in the middle of it now with no journey, no map, no guide and no bridge. If I add`to this blog it will simply be to say it doesn't matter whether you cross this bridge or that bridge because reality is where you are, THIS IS IT. But some bridges will be interesting structures simple from the point of view of the respective authors. But it doesn't matter whether you cross or not but as we walk and share this experience together I'm happy to view life from different perspectives and dally with you there for a moment as a fellow traveler.

If I was to add another metaphor, it would be to say, awaken to the perfect infinite now and enjoy the harmony that is.

What is a transforming platform?

What are transforming platforms? They are bridges on the journey to self discovery? These bridges are in fact the writers on enlightenment throughout the history of humanity.

These writers write about enlighten Masters or about their own understanding of enlightenment.

You may wish to transverse the Bridges simply to look at a vista from the perspective of one of the following writers.

You can always turn around and cross another bridge or simply cross it as a matter of interest, remember crossing a bridge doesn't mean a life time commitment to that teacher and/or to never crossing another bridge.

You may conclude that some of these bridges lead into deserts, or swamps or to self glorification. You need to stay alert.
