You can't put a label on it because no label is big enough. <g>

It's the eternal infinite process of "becoming", of God "godding". All of the "confusion" arises because we want to "put it in perspective". Yet there can be no "perspective" apart from this process because God is the all-in-all.

The closest approximation we have is the mathematics of the continuum. A continuum has no parts and each nonfinite "subset" (of which there are uncountably many) contains the whole of the continuum. This is one of the reasons why reality is sometimes described as holographic.

I really believe that if you take away Adi Da's fixation with the ego and Fred's fixation with numbers and "claim" that the three of us are all saying essentially the same thing. And yet this is but a glimpse of the infinite majesty of God which fully and equally encompasses and includes all of the perspectives found here. Hence, paradoxically Adi Da's perspective on the ego is as true a reflection of reality as is my rejection of that perspective. And as I bathe in the infinite light of the One that Fred so joyously celebrates I equally stand in the fires of Hell that others believe I inherit for choosing not-Jesus or not-Allah. Because whenever we say "I am" we create and define, express and experience Who We Are and Who We Choose to Be. And in this eternal process of becoming our freedom is absolute.

And if this makes any sense I haven't made myself clear enough. <g>
