The Great Reality

Is to do no harm. We are all simply children of God with differing experiences both in quantity and variety.

a man is just a grown boy, a woman is just a grown girl. The “word” man is just a placeholder. (for an arbitrary moment in time, where we socially say a dividing line exists, and for good reason. But words like lines on a map do not define any real truth, but are simply an outward symbol of inward experience.)

It is this inward experience, that is the only real truth.

A spontaneous creation of existence and Child of God maybe yet another way of saying what Peter describes as being “Hidden with Christ in God.”

Thus creating some confusion, at first a touch confusing. But upon reflection with benefit of time and possibly age, we see what we could not come to see at first, but has always been there from before beginning less beginnings. We are Not God. Yet this all comes springing forth continuously from eternity and of this similarity there is no dissimilarity amongst anyone, let us not be ambiguous about the very Ground of our being.
