In reply to: ZERO 's message, "Re: More Stuff" on 18:53:03 04/29/02 Mon

My dear Zero, at the risk of opening up a new can of worms I do want to address what you just said, namely:

"This I agree with totally. It is what I believe, what I have been trying to say, and all that I really care about."

It occurs to me that we could just leave it there, a point of agreement, a final resting place perhaps for this difficult conversation. But you use two words here that stick in my craw: "agree" and "believe".

You see I don't "believe" in this simultaneity. I AM it. I embody it, it is there every time I close my eyes and choose to notice it. It's quite remarkable to say the least.

So what I'm trying to say here is that a greater in-depth experience of this simultaneity is quite possible even for someone who already believes and agrees with it. And that this experience is called the second birth.

With love, Cassandra
