The coffee was all gone when I woke up, not a nice thing to do to a good Dutch girl who loves thick, beautiful coffee, then I got a rash from the junk that was there (coffee), and so on. Anyway, I really had a smile all day from your email, "As above, so below." Love, Annette Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Energy, in its purity, isn't an "existent" and has no "is not". When reality is as it is without a framwork imposed, when there is no position for viewing - one can say what it isn't, but not what it is - saying what it isn't doesn't deny anything, because there is no "negation" here. Words may be used that seem to suggest something - like "simplicity" - but simplicity is a quality and is conditional - when there aren't conditions, what is it?
