I will let Solon speak for Solon. I was just stating what I read in the header you referenced. You raise some wonderful points which touch upon many fundamental issues. First, one of the many paradoxes that thwart human understanding is the simultaneous immanence and transcendence of God. God is both wholly present and wholly apart from everyone and everything. In previous posts I've characterized this is that He is both consistent with and orthogonal to everything. One way I've understood this paradox is that our relationship to God-as-immanence is love while our relationship to God-as-transcendence is worship. The latter perhaps illuminates somewhat the 'All grateful' attribute of God since God is both self-immanent and self-transcendent as well. I believe the key to our differing perspectives on the subject of morality lies in the Illusion of Disunity. If We Are All One then one will see things one way. If We Are Many than one will see things in another way. I observe that denial of the reality of unity leads to one set of misperceptions while the denial of the reality of separation leads to another set of misperceptions. I accept both.
