Trust Love (for the wrong reasons)-reply

[Guest guest]

Ultimately, you know that 'you' will die,

So, sooner or later, you have to Trust Love..........

I love this for all the right reasons.

Yours

philosophically, psychologically and spiritually unsound.

Dear James,

You wrote:

Such a sentence may sound 'beautiful, but it is really quite sloppy and

philosophically, psychologically and spiritually unsound... which is luckily

'good news' :-)

Firstly:

If the certainty-of-death (or the fear-of-death, or whatever the reason may

be) will get you to love or "Trust Love," what kind of trust is that, what

kind of love is that? Certainly not unconditional...

Secondly:

Death only occurs conceptually in the mind of a non-participating onlooker

who is observing a process taking place with someone else usually called

'death'.

Thirdly:

Someone undergoing that process (the process that is usually called 'death')

has a totally different perspective... Nobody can talk to anybody about

'death' from subjective experience... It would not be death, would it be?

Fourthly:

In fact, the ones who talk from experience, possibly because of a (usually

called) Near Death Experience, they assure you that 'death' does not

exist... They assure you in fact, that only love is real... and that is what

causes them to "Trust Love" even more.

So, James, luckily you've got it the wrong way around....I am so happy to

say.

Love, James... Wim

I once overheard a caterpillar saying to another one, while quoting James

Traverse:

"Ultimately, you know that 'you' will die..."

The other caterpillar cut him off, not in the least alarmed...

"I doubt that!" the caterpillar answered, "I always dream of us having wings

one day, and that we will fly."
