I have heard it said that inorder to truly say that something is TRUTH... You must have personal knowledge of it. Personal experience Anything other than Personal knowledge through experience cannot be called TRUTH. You may hear another's Truth You may embrace it... Claim it as your "personal truth"... However, it is only accepted hearsay. I will share my truth with you. It is truth based on experience. In fact... It is my First experience My First thought. My oldest memory. I should say it is..." Larry's " First experience, thought and memory. Because it goes back to the very beginning of ( I ) "living" as that which is "Larry " In the beginning... ( I ) looked upon a "form" An "object" that had appeared. There had been only void and darkness upon the deep... And now... This "object" in the midst of the void. The "object" had the appearance of that which is physically writing these words. The "object" was THIS body as an "image" and not yet in the form of matter. It floated within the void. That was my first "experience" ( I ) said to myself... "I guess that will be me." That was my first "thought" After that... ( I ) became "me" No longer was there the perspective of the ( I ) looking upon "me". Now, there was only the "me" looking out from this form As "i" floated alone within the midst of the void... "i" said to myself, "This is me." The ( I ) that had SEEN this "me" also had been SEEING the void, but now, as "me"... "i" was able to experience it. There "i" floated... Peaceful... Content... In total Bliss Nothing was lacking Nothing was in excess. There was only "me" "i" cannot say how long i remained in that state. Time did not exist. But... There came a "time" When an "object" appeared... It was a faint gray light. i watched it... and as i did... it drew closer "What is this?", i asked myself and immediately it disappeared. There "i" was again... alone... floating in Bliss. Then... There came a "time" When the gray light appeared again. i watched it. It drew closer. i said to myself... "i remember this !" It was then that "i" realized that it was my attention being focused upon it that was drawing me nearer. It was occuring "within" me. Within my consciousness. Here is where I shall stop. I won't go into the experiences and memories of "becoming" "physical" "tangible" Of deciding to enter this "world". To share my "Life" story is not the purpose of this writing. Nor will I go into any "meaning" or "philosophies" concerning these events. I only wished to share the memories of the "experience" of beginning to "exist" as an "object" What I have related to you is my TRUTH. Based upon personal knowledge and experience. These are not memories that have been "recalled" from introspection or retrospection. These are things that have been remembered ever since their moment of occurring and have been with me every moment of my existence since. This was "my" beginning. The origin of that which would later be called "Larry" Which existed in "image" prior to physical form, And it is the rememberence of the ( I ) having existed prior to the "image" This is "my" TRUTH Now... I will bring up two possibilities... Either this is "my" beginning and "i" have come to "be here" through an entirely different manner than "you" or.... Whether you remember or not... It is "your" beginning also. Am "i" THAT much different than "you"? I'll let "you" decide this... I can only speak of "my" TRUTH. |

Personal experience ... so true brother, I agree. Also ... what a wonderful rememberance to have ... and I am glad you have shared. Either this is "my" beginning and "i" have come to "be here" through an entirely different manner than "you" or.... Whether you remember or not... It is "your" beginning also. Am "i" THAT much different than "you"? I'll let "you" decide this... I can only speak of "my" TRUTH. Good ending with these words We are all the same ((hugs))  |

Good write and I really like this line... "Am "i" THAT much different than "you"?" Say not, "I have found the truth," but rather, "I have found a truth." - Kahil Gibran You are in good company Uriah. |
