The Transformative Process Of Nature And Humans

A human life is in certain ways very much like a cloud.  A cloud coalesces, comes together, and looks solid... but
it is nothing more than vapors.  Not very solid at all.  Wind to a cloud is like destiny to a person.  The cloud must
follow the direction set forth by the wind, and a person must follow the direction set forth by fate or destiny. 
Clouds and wind are, in a sense, similar to a life and destiny.  After a cloud progresses through its cycle, it disperses
and transforms to 'nothingness' (vapors).  It then rises again to form into another cloud to go through it's cycle again. 
Much in the same manner, a person progresses through their life cycle ....completes it ....disperses, then
dies/transforms and comes back to human existence through rebirth to repeat the cycle again and follow its
destined conditions. 

Invisible vapors form clouds and invisible energy (chi) forms humans and their lives.  Vapor is the mother of clouds
while chi is the mother of humans.  Both vapor and chi emerge from spirit.  From the viewpoint of human observation
clouds can form shapes of animals, mountains, or other objects, but the shapes are merely illusions and not solid. 
Only illusory.  Similarly, humans are able to create illusory shapes of wealth, fame, and power.  Those human shapes,
however, are just as illusory as the shapes clouds form.  At its core both consist of nothingness.  Perhaps it is not so
shocking that clouds and humans both consist mostly of water.

When a cloud forms and comes into being it follows the laws of the weather conditions prevailing at the time the cloud
came into existence.  Likewise, when a human's chi gathers and comes into existence, it must follow the laws of the
heavenly conditions prevalent and the specific moment that they came into creation.  Those heavenly conditions are 
referred to as destiny.  A person has no more free-will or control over their existence than does a cloud over theirs.  
Clouds follow wind and humans follow destiny.

A person who has more wealth than another in the human realm, is like a cloud that holds more water than another
cloud in the heavenly realm.  Wealth and poverty to a human is nothing more than denseness and sparsity to a cloud. 
Some people hold more money than others, and some clouds hold more water than others ; either condition is no
better or worse than the other .... it all springs from the same source. 

Clouds linger in heaven, while human's linger on earth, and when their time is due and their cycles are complete
the clouds of heaven descend to earth and the humans of earth ascend to heaven (although in an inner direction).
Yes , a person's life is no more, or less solid than vapor clouds ..... and no more or less important either.
