Re: Separate/One

Those who cannot deal with duality find themselves trapped in a hall of mirrors of their own making. Is it a wave or a particle? A candy mint or a breath mint? Are we all one or separate? To take sides in such arguments is to adopt a point of view which is fundamentally incoherent. The debate is misplaced at its root because inherent in such debate is the assumption that one is the "correct" view and the other is "false".

The point of it all is that it is pointless. If it were not pointless there would be no freedom and one cannot be free if there is an exogenous purpose to reality, for life is a process of creation, not discovery. In this is the glory of God. Therefore choose and live and love that choice, for it is in that free choice that we announce and declare, express and experience Who We Are and Who We Choose to Be.

"ah but then love is the same as lust so wtf, no?"

No. Love is spelled L O V E. And Lust is spelled L U S T. They are spelled different; and they are pronounced different. And they are different.

Lust only thinks as far as orgasm. Love thinks about breakfast...
