nice outfit ... the philosopher, the eternal return, and that which is behind the things, and the samsara ... and in this way it's hard for the philosopher to engage in politics, in power, and also for others to listen to the philosopher, as she/he speaks of the unseen i'm starting to believe more there is no ego, there is no person, no subject, just a collection of dynamic desires and impressions, and that free will is quite limited - we are who we are in ourselves and via our environ. people could do whatever they want, only for the problem that they can destroy not others (always been the problem) but now also the planet (the new problem). as the will needs opposition, in destroying the world humans may destroy themselves, in that in the void without the world and without the thou, there is no reality for a human - then truly only dust, only the evacuated rational thing, a physical thing and not more. yes, society sublimates the base desire, and education raises the good, yet the dynamic whole must always realize in some space - the balancings. man must overcome his materialism to survive, and know that what she is is not material, but the life force, the spiritual - that is what distinguishes the human, that it is soil that has moved beyond soil. without climbing the hierarchy, we revert to dust.
These are very thoughtful considerations, and although the owner of the channel has chosen to overlook them, I most certainly will not. There exists a contradiction in your thinking, to at once believe, you have no ego AND think the will is limited. It is _because of_ the ego that the will _is_ limited, for the ego stands in opposition to God's Will. The world exists as a surface illusion, a dark cloud (as it were); and just beneath the level the body's eyes see, death has its circle. It is the realization you seek that your will and the Father's are ONE, which finally overcomes the materialism you fear. For EITHER the world OR God is real, NOT BOTH at the same time, not both in the same place. Thus the paradox is resolved. You are very close to solving this mystery of being. You stand just outside the gate. Your feet are in the garden. As serendipity would have it, the present lesson I am doing for myself fo today's mental/spiritual orientating, speaks directly to the heart of your thoughts, I feel, and so I will show it, and let it show itself. ~*~ I have already chosen what You will. _1. Father, I thought I wandered from Your Will, defied it, broke its laws, and interposed a second will more powerful than Yours. ²Yet what I am in truth is but Your Will, extended and extending. ³This am I, and this will never change. ⁴As You are One, so am I one with You. ⁵And this I chose in my creation, where my will became forever one with Yours. ⁶That choice was made for all eternity. ⁷It cannot change, and be in opposition to itself. ⁸Father, my will is Yours. ⁹And I am safe, untroubled and serene, in endless joy, because it is Your Will that it be so._ 2. Today we will accept our union with each other and our Source. ²We have no will apart from His, and all of us are one because His Will is shared by all of us. ³Through it we recognize that we are one. ⁴Through it we find our way to God at last.
