Re: Stages

Stages are interesting until one realizes that they too are part of our created reality. In Meher Baba's God Speaks there are amazingly detailed charts and diagrams illustrating all manner of stages, realms, cycles, etc. To the extent that such constructs find resonance in one's experience they are blessed, but love admits no bounds whatsoever and cannot be contained or described within any structure no matter how elaborate or sublime. St. Thomas Aquinas claimed that God is simple by which he meant that God cannot be analyzed or otherwise structurally composed. Since God is All There Is this simplicity adheres to the infinite expressions of the divine as well. All structure is thus fundamentally illusory from the perspective of ultimate reality.
