Mystical View II

[claymedeiros]

“Not only does the immanent state lack meaning in isolation-so too does the transcendent state. According to a sacred tradition (hadith qudsi) cherished by the Sufis, in the solitude of eternity God was a ‘hidden treasure’ that yearned to be known. The condition of manifestation is that of the One Being seeking to reveal and experience itself.

one realizes one’s own path is not about overcoming one’s personal limitations and attaining perfection, but rather about participation in the desire of the whole being to experience itself.

Interesting. What do you think "participating in the desire to be itself " means, exactly? To me, it sounds like an effortless acceptance and enjoyment of what is, without expending energy to reach for anything else? Dissipation to the lowest energy state? I've observed that, as a whole being, I have a capacity to get trapped in loops. If I can find ways to knock myself out of those loops, I broaden my experience, vision, and connections, and, by extension, my depth of understanding. Knocking out of loops requires struggle? Resistance and struggle broadens experience?

Enjoy the struggle?

Just my musings and 2¢ for Super Tuesday ;-)
