Immortal and Sea Turtle

Nagasawa Rosetsu 1754-1799

A story in China once mentioned a journey of the Eight Taoist Immortals. In their wanderings they encountered a vast ocean. Each Immortal used super natural powers to cross the sea. One took the time to share stories with a sea turtle.

In crossing over the barriers in our own life, is it any different? Super natural powers are not outside of our life, they are of our life. It is when we use our natural abilities to elevate ourselves, it appears to be super natural from an outsider’s perspective.

We are all on a journey to discover our essence, when we hold that essence to be truly our own, we also discover the nature of being immortal.

We become more in the crossing of each barrier.
