He was the only family member who never blindly accepted Christianity’s templated claim that its god had a living presence in shaping the heartbeat of this ephemeral reality’s ever-changing present moment flash-in-time.He never took the blind leap to become a Christian.Having been raised under semi-fundamental living circumstances may have left the author with somewhat of a chip-on-the-shoulder attitude towards Christian wisdom. The insights that surfaced in writing this text has exposed and helped bring clarity to the miscued rational those fundamental beliefs are founded in, bringing him closer to realizing emotional balance.At age 21, he barely survived a car accident that left him weak and feeling quite grateful just to be alive. During recovery, out of innate curiosity and the gratitude for life itself, he wanted to consciously touch the buzz of life to intrinsically witness it in action.He intuitively felt this living force had an intrinsic connection ... that this could only be done where he had the capacity to actually feel or touch life itself and that was inside his living body.At the time, he made no association between the intellectually sketched cognitive impressions left from the rather abstract religious theology’s template he was taught at church and the living message he was seeking with his self-designed sensual method for reaching this end of consciously touching the living presence of life’s essence.It took twenty-five years before, while hearing the end of a book review on an obscure internet radio station, describing how a certain strain of a spiritual discipline uses the same method he had engineered to feel the buzz of life, that he made any conscious connection between an intellectually learned and remembered religious template and its present moment sensual incarnation.Theravada Buddhism uses the act of feeling the buzz of life to self-train the mind control to develop a wisdom-enriched enlightened understanding about the nature of the ways of this impermanent reality to undo the human ignorance that causes human suffering....
