To Drink from Enligthenment's Nectar

I was thinking about what this is actually tonight.

And what I came up with is that: "It is communion with all life in the universe in the past, present and future."

That is what drinking from Enlightenment's Nectar is for me.

It's realizing that the trillions or more beings in the universe are all in this together in the past, present and future and that there really isn't any separation at all between any of us.

Where I live there are things like Raccoons and skunks and Deer a lot and once in a while there are Mountain lions who come into this area to prey on the deer. 

Recently, my wife told me of a skunk running down the road within block or two of where we live on the northern Coast of California. Then I must have seen the same one or a family member of this same skunk running down the road with his tail up a few more blocks away. At the time I was worried he would make the outside of my car stink but luckily only his tail was up so this didn't happen.

Often we see Deer and bucks of various ages where we live. I recently saw a young buck with skin still on his antlers because I think rutting season is in the fall I believe but the antlers are growing in already.

The point of all this is: "All the wild things around us help us to experience Enlightenment's nectar because they are just being themselves in their natural state."

So, the point is Drinking of Enlightenment's Nectar I believe is each one of us being in our natural state where we are sort of At Peace with the world.

I can remember visiting Nepal and India and out in the country then in 1985 and 1986 most people don't ever go to school even 1st grade at that time. So, what I experienced around people like this was "Ignorance is Bliss".

At the time I thought about people without radios or TVs or the Internet or reading and writing or listening to the news or reading a newspaper and realized: "Yes. Ignorance is bliss until something bad happens you didn't know about and then you are maybe dead."

So, on one level I envied people like this who never went to school a day in their lives, and yet, it's not likely I would have lived to be 78 there where "Ignorance is Bliss" or was then.

When you travel all over the world like I have and my wife has too, the world and it's people are completely different in every way than you presently think unless you have gone and experienced this too in many different countries.

When you see movies it is usually people speaking English which most of the world might not speak (even though supposedly there are more English Speakers in China than presently speak it in the rest of the world. And even in India many people speak English because it is the least offensive to them of the 300 languages spoken in India.

To Drink of Enlightenment's Nectar is a real Joy I believe. However, I believe it is mostly about having communion with all life in the past, present and future throughout the universe and experiencing that communion right now.
