Why is the self not the self

My Sunday Scripture 2011.6.26

------------------------
The Text: John 6:51-58
------------------------

I am the living bread which has come down from heaven. Anyone who eats this bread will live for ever; and the bread that I shall give is my flesh, for the life of the world.'

Then the Jews started arguing among themselves, 'How can this man give us his flesh to eat?'

Jesus replied to them: In all truth I tell you, if you do not eat the flesh of the Son of man and drink his blood, you have no life in you.

Anyone who does eat my flesh and drink my blood has eternal life, and I shall raise that person up on the last day.

For my flesh is real food and my blood is real drink.

Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood lives in me and I live in that person.

As the living Father sent me and I draw life from the Father, so whoever eats me will also draw life from me.

This is the bread which has come down from heaven; it is not like the bread our ancestors ate: they are dead, but anyone who eats this bread will live for ever.

My Reading Notes:
-------------------

That is one very important aspect of life: I am in you and you are in me.

IN this case, the one we are connected is God himself. Actually we are all connected. But the important part is that we are not only connected ourselves, but also with God. That means, our life has gone through all the world, to the another world. We are all one not only on this planet, but on every where in the universe. In such manner, we can see that the self is not the self, but a part of everything. What does that mean?

It means life is meaningful. It gives us courage.

If you are with God, you will fear nothing.
If you are with God, you will always be happy!
