If so how does your duality reflects the true nature of God ? Here's a hint of where I am at in answering this question for myself, see if you have this same dilemma. As a parent I want my children to be better than me. My children are more valuable for me than myself. I don't want my children to become me, I want them to become their own person. We as parents are not perfect , the reality of our lives is that our children inherit both our attributes and our faults. We view God as a separate reality than this one. The classic tale of Dr. Frankenstein comes to mind for me as God's situation when it comes to sentient beings. Once again these are questions I ponder upon , they have help me to come to terms with myself and my relationship to the origin of all things .  |
Dear Frank
Honestly it is such a complex subject you wont get a satisfactory answer on a forum theer is just not enough time or space.
Dr Hawkins covered the subject fully to my satisfaction but it took two books and 400 pages. One I can recommend is" Discovery of the presence of God / Devotional Nonduality."
You can start to transcend seeming opposites as seeing alternatives instead.
Not hot and cold but a sliding temperature scale more heat less heat.
More of Love less and less till there is an absence of love.
Another biggie is causality. Nothing is causing anything to happen. We all have a potential and react within that potential to situations. For example one person will get angry on hearing something another will shrug it off. The event does not have the power to make some one angry. No one has any power to make you do anything short of a loaded gun of course.
Duality does not reflect the nature of God.
God does not have a nature in that no human term can be applied.
Unconditional Love is nearest.
Kids are ready to hear this when they are ready.
Im sure you are a great father, why worry!!!
Hope this helps Frank
