Namaste GM,

 

IMHO opinion in illusion there appears to be differences but it is

itself delusory.

 

If we give any validity to creation at all, for arguments sake; lets

call it energy moving/acquiring energy, continually.

 

So there is gross material energy rising to subtle. It is only at

the gross material level that energy as an animal for instance eats

and other animal to acquire sustenance or energy. At the subtle

level there is no such violence but just the movement of energies,

which is continual anyway. For in the energy soup there is nothing

but movement, originating with the disturbance of the Gunas. So as

the scale moves up it becomes subtler, so obviously the subtle mind

would feed on subtle energy, the gross body on gross material

energy. All being energy anyway!

 

If we put on many thousand X glasses we would only see an moving

energy soup. It is through a restriction, or limitation of senses

that we see each other as gross material and perceive the world.

 

For in the end if the soup stopped moving the world would disappear

and us with it................ONS...Tony.
