Duality of God

2000-4-11 11:18:00

Chris and others have quoted an interesting scripture about God. "I am Alpha and Omega, the Beginning and the End..." (Rev 1:8) Notice that even God uses duality in describing himself. He did not say: "I am the nothingness between Alpha and Omega or that He was just Alpha or just Omega. Instead even God had to use duality in describing Himself to us mere mortals. Alpha and Omega, Beginning and End are terms of duality as much as positive and negative or night and day is.

Chris said: "It is possible to be in a space of consciousness where there is the absolute ability to respond without reaction ..."

My dictionary defines "response" as follows: "A reaction, as that of an organism or a mechanism, to a specific stimulus." If a response is a reaction then one cannot respond without reaction. You seem to be saying that you can respond without responding. Perhaps you need another choice of words to make yourself clear.
