The Bodhi Squirrels

There's a very well hidden story about how the Buddha realized enlightenment.

Very few people know about the auspicious circumstances that led up to his

awakening in approximately 500BCE.

On the previous blog post, I spoke of the little squirrel in the garden of Eden

who tried to warn Eve about the folly of believing in duality. Well, fast

forward several thousand years to the great-great-great-great-grandsquirrels

of this Edenic squirrel sage. These latter squirrels were known as the Bodhi

squirrels because they inhabited the famous Bodhi tree in Nepal. This family of

squirrels would sit every morning in meditation. That is, they would rest in the awareness of squirreluminosity. This created an awesome energy field that

radiated out quite a distance from this tree, so that people walking by would

instantly feel a divine presence of peace and contentment. The funny thing is

no one knew exactly why they felt so good.

So, lo and behold, one fine day Siddartha wandered around searching for

a good place to sit when he began to feel an undeniable pull toward this bodhi

tree. Sid was a sensitive guy and noticed a very auspicious benevolence

emanating from the tree. He sat down to contemplate and instantly awakened

to squirreluminous Oneness!

My squirrel Bucky transmitted this account early this morning, July 24th, which

happens to be the last day of the Mayan Red Overtone Moon year. You see,

Bucky comes from a long line of Bodhi squirrels. He admitted to me that he

purposefully fell out of his tree at only 2 weeks of age, so that he could later pass

on this important knowledge to me. He said we had finally entered a time when

people would welcome the truth!

"May I quickly attain enlightenment

in order to work ceaselessly

for the liberation of all sentient beings."
