A very thought provoking thread Turtle. Well done. On reading not only the quotes you offer, but others surrounding it as well as regards the previous thread on 'Power Days' which contains the same quote as regards the 18 day cycle of zeniths and nadirs, your last sentence gave me pause. Indeed, if "Anything and Everything" is a gift to the creator, then there is no wrong way, failure, need to judge oneself much less anyone or anything else, given that Every single "perceived" imperfection, shortcoming, less than-ness, blemish, horrible experience, failed relationship, disability, ailment, death of loved one, tragedy, planet blowing up, and even murdering despot massacring millions, is already in the stated state of bliss and perfection. As hard of a pill to swallow as it is, it may be so. All is in fact already in the state of perfection given it proceeded from the previous state of perfection. It only seems less than perfect while in it.
Much like a Buddhist or mystic Christian philosophy, we already of course know this on so many levels, but seemingly only intellectually so. But stopping and taking true pause to actually deeply reconsider it within one single moment of the day causes it to resonate with another feeling all over again. It is another matter altogether to do this than is merely allowing the profundity of it to merely trickle off of our tongues when parroting such considerations. It is fascinating.
Why would the Creator elect to create suffering for ITself? As a Creator, might there not at least have been an "as efficient of a path" to offer ITself, if not a better one, other than torturing us as ITself through ITself?
Let us not derail your provoking thread by offering opinion here to my above question of suffering. I will pose this as a question as a separate thread towards the effort of not diluting yours. Let us continue deeper with your wonderful point and thread.
