ONE Answer....

>>ONE Works....

I see, with a base of TWO you can have YES and NO which can tell you many many things. ONE gives you only one answer, either YES or NO and no matter how many times you repeat it you still have only one answer. It's a very poor calculation indeed. TP>>

TP:

The "divided/split mind" of man's ego can't fathom ONE. It's totally antithetical. ONE represents total darkness to this paradigm of division, separation, spin, clouds, smoke, fire, fear amidst multiple choices.

ONE is a white room with a white overhead light shining brightly on ALL with ONE door leading outside to a natural divine reality which corespondes perfectly to this unity - ie. where the sunlight shines down on ALL, etc.

Man's ego feeds off of TWO and all non-prime elements which can be divided, sliced, diced and broke up along the way to being defined, measured, regulated, judged, controlled and smothered to a inevitable suffocating reality of darkness and death which IS the opposite of life.

As long as we 1) DO NOT ACKNOWLEDGE ONE DIVINE LORD AS A SOURCE OF ALL LIGHT/TRUTH/LOVE; and 2) WE CONTINUE PLAYING FOOTSIE WITH TWO - IE. PLAYING BOTH SIDES AGAINST THE MIDDLE IN A DIVIDED REALITY....this paradigm of fear, limits and darkness will continue to be supported. For this is Man's World. This is Man's Religion. This is the way of Man's Ego.

If I can imagine ONE light shining on ALL equally then I am already receiving what already exists from the source. You don't need to take any leap of faith to see and understand this using basic reason and logic. And our world is chock full of many, many examples from nature to learn from, etc.

A divided world. A divided mind. A divided reality. All these are, what Emanueal Swedenborg would call part of the "insanity of man." Man's world is insane, by definition, for it's cut off from the source of divine truth that emmanates from this ONEness.

We don't need to kill, blame or shame ourselves over any of this. Just knowing that the source of ALL that is bad, dark, ugly and evil DOES NOT COME OR ORIGINATE FROM ANY OF US. The fact that the majority of individuals in this world have become prey for these spirits does not mean these individuals are necessarily "bad" etc. They are simply conjoining that which they understand with that which they will and love. They become unwitting conduits for this dysfunctional energy and do not even have the slightest clue as to how this happened. For this is the illusion, the lie that mankind has "bought into."

So we end up taking credit for the good and then kill, blame and shame ourselves and others for what is bad. This is crazy. For we cannot have it both ways. Either we are on ONE side of the fence or the other. And there is no way I can do anything to get myself on the side pointed in the right direction. For I am powerless. I am nothing. All goodness, purpose, truth, usefullness must come from our perfect Lord, our God and creator of all the universe. He knows more about me and what I need than anyone/anything else in the universe. And we can ALL have a personal relationship with Him.

All this is well documented in scripture which I will not hold over anybody's head. But Swedenborg does to a marvelous job outlining all this in such incredible detail using simply, direct examples, reason and logic.

Peace.

Light!

ONE!!

GO!!
