Eager to find out which of the 12 wombs I embodied (although its is my understanding that everyone embodies all of these but this would be my particular strength) I returned to meditation to start asking more questions, though I had a hunch it could be one of several.
Instead the conversation took an interesting turn. I began to ask her questions:
ME - how is that I am so far removed from Buddhism, being raised the the western world and christian. I have had no access to teachers and have had such little contact with it. I've sought human teachers and every attempt to gain understanding physically about Buddhism has not succeeded.
QY- Because you already know everything that you need to know. Why would you go back to school if you have already graduated?. You are born into this world so that you may understand how the universal truths taught in Buddhism can be understood from all religions, cultures, and societies. You can reach people and communicate with others in a more advantageous way since you are one of them in your body, you have more credibility. Just listen to me and journal, I will teach you everything that you need to know. I will give you information and when you need to, you will research like you always do and you will have a greater understanding of what I am teaching you and how it applies to you.
My goodness, never in a million years could I have obtained this knowledge of my own means (I am not this brilliant.) It makes sense- everything I have experienced as a human that has brought me to this point of understanding and had I not endured this particular human existence I would have not become the eager student and healer that I have become.
