Meaning no disrespect but...prove it! Prove that Reality is Love or

any other label.

Could it be that Love or Reality is everything there is including:

machine-guns, rape, torture, brutality, ignorance, poverty, suicide,

etc.? And: beauty, hope, love, peace, affection, tenderness,

kindness, charity, joy, humor, laughter, excitement, etc.?

Is that your own personal experience or something you read about?

Why do you suppose Reality/Love has provided/created machine-guns at

all? If Totality or Unicity is, machine-guns must be part of it's

purpose and design - but for what purpose does Reality need machine-

guns, etc.?

 

Could it be that Love provides machine-guns to help its self (there

is only Love) find its self again through serious misery and pain?

Are machine-guns a very effective way for Love to stop itself from

wandering too far away and forcing itself to come on back home to

itself - which is Love? Is it possible that everything in Love's

entire universe - bad/good, right/wrong, is placed here/there to aid

Love in its return home after a good outing?

Dear Jim,

 

It is something I red. I have no idea what I am talking about. I am sorry.

Namaste Alan and all

In a message like this due to the number of contributors, it becomes

difficult to figure who is responding to which section of whose post.

I am a bit confused as the embedded sentences do not make sense.

Any thoughts on formatting replies for a lay reader to follow the

thread easily? ( My suggestion- while replying keep only those

sections of original message to which replies pertain; if there are

more than two people- draw lines to demarcate current reply)

 

Many Pranams

Sridhar
