Quote:I think that Tanner does understand what you are trying to convey but is simply at a loss of why you hold such an opinion, personally though I think I can see why you would, but I don't hold the same opinion.
I do understand both what he is expressing, and I can see why he would hold the view that he has. While it seems he believes I am attempting to "escape my fate", such is both not the case, and also confusing to me in relation to the ideas he is expressing because if supposedly there are no rules, and we are the Creator and there is no other Creator other than ourselves then that is a limitation of infinity, a setting of boundaries and rules which he appears to express do not exist.
My confusion is not in regards to his opinion, that is clear to me, but rather the way in which he chooses to resolve the apparent paradoxes and contradictions that arise within his own ideologies. I fail to see how the opinion appears to be both absolute, but then makes exceptions any time there is a need to justify the position, yet those exceptions do not appear to be afforded the same liberty to others.
To you, Adonai One, I will say that I have no fear of loss, for what is lost in infinity? I have gone through myriads of identities, and am a different identity to some degree every day and in every moment, so I do not see why the idea of dissolution of identity is applied only to the end of the octave when I feel the identity and personality is actually dying and being reborn constantly in every moment, there is nothing to lose, there is only one. I feel that you believe I believe things that I do not.
I also fail to understand how, in an infinite universe, any concept or distortion could be deemed to be lesser than any other or how anything could be loss. I fail to see how the universe is "mortal" because I do not see unity as death but as absolute existence and while yes, I agree, perhaps in that moment there is only silence, perfect equilibrium, yet, is that moment not already here, present, as the Creator?
I do not understand how there can be infinity, yet the possibility of there being any Creator that is its own other self is destroyed but I suspect that is because of cultural and social discomforts with the idea of a "God". I wish to acknowledge absolutely all realities as they exist in the One, but to be honest, it seems like you only care to acknowledge your own because other realities are in conflict with what you appear to hold as your penultimate truth.
I do not understand why I, as Creator, am not afforded the same liberty of Creation to be aware of this or that manner of other self and view the universe as sacred and divine as a function of my own creative exploration of infinity and the self that we are as the Creator. I do not understand why you attempt to destroy my view instead of including it within infinity. Thus is my confusion.
That being said, back to the topic and actually rather in alignment with what I am saying here I do not believe there is any need to "merge" in the sense of the dissolution of soul identities because the identities themselves are self existent within themselves as aspects of infinity so, as many have said, I feel it makes more sense to fully realize the oneness that already is. Yes, there will be a merging of my identity with infinity at some point, when I so choose, and I will cease to be anything recognizable to this or any other octave, and even to myself, yet my existence will not be lost, the universe contains all things and nothing is ever lost. My thoughts do not lean me towards the avoidance of self dissolution nor the desire to escape, but rather a question within me: what is what is?
I seek to dwell in the mystery of infinity and that mystery is beautiful, astounding, profound and incomprehensible yet I know it is impossible to ever expound the mystery because to remove the mystery is to limit and stunt infinity itself. It is not possible for everything in infinity to be known, for knowingness is a limitation of perception.
In absolute being, there is also absolute mystery, and in that mystery there is the absolute truth of the eternal existence of the One Infinite Creator, for the Creator shall never cease to create and be creative, yet neither has it ever begun. I desire only to love the Creator in all of its infinite ways and so I can discount neither my own position or the position of any other, I can only seek the unity of our positions for are we all not included in the grand illusion that is creation?
