"If one accepts that God is All That Is and All That Is Not then any temporal "slice" of this infinite matrix will be perceived as a cycle of creation/destruction" Fine, except that the traditional model (also Adi Da) for any level of "temporal slice" is perceived (or maybe not perceived) as: Creation Preservation/sustaining Destruction This matter of the cycles is very much the subject of Vedanta. Yes? No? "Change is thus truly the only constant".... in the MANIFESTED worlds, but God (as All That is Not) is CHANGELESS Yes? No? "change is manifested as time" In Adidam we would say change is EXPERIENCED as time. We would also say something like "time is the EXPERIENCE of the "distance" between two seemingly separate "points" or "beings" Yes? No? "In a sense, the reason one cannot say what anything "is" is because stasis is the illusion while the endless cycles of becoming/unbecoming are the reality." Yes, and Adi Da's model is STASIS--illusory assumption of the egoic being CHANGE--the actuality of the conditional worlds CHANGELESSNESS--the unmanisfested God in which the conditional worlds and all conditional beings appear Yes? No? And finally (for this post), in CWG how does a being in the "God-Godding" slice of things -- come to REALIZE his/her/its "situation" in the scheme of things? -- come to REALIZE (and live AS) the normally unmanifested God in the midst of "God-Godding"? Yes, your last post did help. I will try to find an item or two of Adi Da's in which he addresses some of these issues. Namaste! Jim
