Confluence

How can we understand others unless we are converted to their position while maintaining our own? This can be particularly difficult with those we like to dislike, love to hate. We may have already decided that we do not wish to understand them at all. Yet this is the example that God, our Source, gives us. God understands everyone. God is isomorphic with, confluent with everyone’s position while maintaining His own. This is different from gods and goddesses who never convert to anyone’s position, who only pretend to in order to get their own way or engage in outright warfare for self gain.

With God as a role model, we engage in paradox. God is nothing if not paradoxical. We open completely to the other’s world view, to the other’s experience of the world while simultaneously not abandoning our own. Paradox. Holding contrary views simultaneously. How is this done? Is it not easier to stand firm within one’s own calcification and judge the world from there? To stare out at the world from within one’s own fortification, protected from all further understanding? 

Self-fortification is old school. These times require, demand interflow. Vengeance and anger and self-righteousness are out, side pockets of putrid staleness. We are becoming more like God and less like gods. How is this done? By moving with the currents of the Life Force itself, by moving with the currents of Love.
