Some might call this sacrilegious statements, they are not, these are questions that I ask the origin of all things while in meditation.
Breaking down our concepts of absolutes is the beginning to transcend beyond mere believes and begin to see our duality from a realistic perspective. Thanks Aroundthetable and everyone for not taking offense in my questions.There's a reason for my madness if you get my meaning. I love to think outside of the box I have a million questions like this one to inspire your original mind. Without using the classic answer of free will can someone reach down and give me your honest view from a personal perspective of coming to terms with your duality.  |
Frank,
excellent questions!
I will too jump and take the challenge!
I will not give you a straight answer but you may find ti through my reply here .
We are no duality. We are made in the image of God, Creator. Image of his values,characters and finally physical form. God is spirit but he chose to make us in this form we are so I believe he also chose a form like that for him in eternity. Though he,being almighty is and can be everywhere since his creative force made all and all was first in his mind . So God can feel every atom and quark in universe -he made it.
We`re his children. Now remember Adam and Eve?
What actually Satan asked them?
"Is it true, or does God really said that...?"
He sowed a seed of confusion. First he confused Eve ,then he said that actually God lied them and if she does the exactly oposite from God`s command for them ,she will flourish. She and Adam listened Satan and it actually happened like God said it will.
But now Satan being restless and annoyed with humans he saw that sowing confusion and lies do the job in easier conquering human mind and eventually soul.
Since we`re not created with a thoughts that we should lie or trick others, we naturally trust everybody without a question,since God does not lie and all that are his , that`s why we as his children trust. And exactly there Satan catch us off guard. Now as we`re a bit older that few thousand or more years ago ,Satan`s lies got heavier and his deceit more cunning than before.
But his initial premise is same. Lure out people from their heavenly father.
All evil sprang out from that.
But in reality we are children of the light and there are no duality. Tomorrow when we return to light and Creator We will emanate a vast array of creative powers in universe, shining our own creativity which was and is inspired by our father .
Also don`t forget, Satan existence was allowed that every soul shows its quality. From Satan himself to prove his statements ( he was proved wrong ) to us to be seen as ones who will fully decide do we stand or fall.
