Non-physical entities do not behave in the same way as physical entities. For example, they do not break down over time. They are eternal. Timeless. Love is a non-physical entity. It doesn't break down over time. Instead, when it's "true love", absence makes the heart grow fonder.

no

Each and every "thing" possesses 3 qualities: Essence Being Existence Existence is its physical manifestation. Being is it's function, "what it's doing". Essence is the absolute minimum, smallest, simplest example of it.

It's brilliant. I loved reading it. I look forward to reading it again. ^^ My favorite part, on the first read ^^ Ah. You've met my soon to be ex-wife? ~sarcasm~

Which begs the question? What is Truth lacking a generative principle? Can truth exist without any motive of outward expression?

Agreed. Not simple.

Not "only a result of... " "it can also be a result of a natural consequence" Fair enough

Only? There's always another way. Even in a room with no windows and doors, there's a way out behind the eyes.

"Only" is a red flag. Assertions phrased in this way are almost always false. The resonance can also come from shared experiences: being born, having parents, witnessing thunder, opening a gift, fear of the unknown, desperation, panic, longing, etc... It's a natural consequence of being human.

In all seriousness, what you're observing many describe as "birth-pangs". The ass-hattery is a natural consequence, or perhaps collateral damage, of major transition.

I gave you a clue. Try to keep up.

In relation to the Divine all is omnipresent and concurrent. There is no manipulating.

Traditionally, it's done thru visualization and affirmation.

death and dying are among the greatest mysteries of the human condition. Contemplating these mysteries, among others, is a way of triggering mystical experiences. They're literally awesome and wonderful.

~thumbs-up~ yes

The human part is dying and returning. I hear you.

It's returning to the womb. It's blissful and alone.

Evil is pleasure derived from malice. It's a type of vitality which develops constriction, isolation, and craving.

Only? No. That's one way to appreciate it. Another way is realizing the essence of the gift which is beyond its material wrapping as a manifestation of eternity.

the alternative is to breathe. just breathe. You can do all those things. But you don't need to. It's OK. Follow the breath with the mind's eye. The mind follows the breath. The heart follows the mind. One breath at a time. Follow it and relax.
