Ishmael

Read ‘Ishmael’. A 1000 repetitions for all of mankind.

Daniel Quinn makes points and draws images that draw attention to our imminent extinction. We know this. Its already common knowledge that we are heading towards our own death. But to be taught by another of God’s creations gives a wholly different take on it.

So here we go on an Ishmael triggered look at my understanding of my world.

Why am I here- To live and die like all of God’s creations

What do I ultimately want- Shanti [inner stillness]

When will I achieve this- When I die [the rishi`s of the Upanishad`s may have achieved this in this life, but I don’t see myself going through with all that it takes]

Who is my God- the universe in me, around me.
