"It" didn't come to criticize or put down, simply to present the other side. Your answer seems illusionary as well, but interesting. If (as you say) only God is real, and we are created by Him in His image, then that makes us real too. In fact, everything He created is real. If God is real, then his words are real. If God speaks to Prophets then their words are real. It is only our perception that is not real, our understanding, our attitudes, our disorders that alter our own realities.
When I peaked in my disorder I saw a vision of my past life and my future life (my interpretation of) and as I designed my TeePee, symbolism came to mind to represent all of it. I had an artist paint my life around the circle of my TeePee. To me that was very real at that moment. I could look at it or walk into it and feel like I was ascending into heaven. But I was not. I was standing on the real ground.
My illusion tells me that if everyone on this forum was on board with the illusion of Arlan, he would have no trouble speaking.
When you or I write, who is really speaking? Is there some other force speaking through us, or are these thoughts that surface as we write our own?
It is somewhat easy to reason, after writing something profound or out of this world, that it did not come from just our hand and heart but from somewhere else. There are many spirits in the world of somewhere else. Perhaps any number of them is capable of coming to our aide or downfall if we invite them to. Or, perhaps we actually are able to create an orriginal thought all on our own.
I'm willing to participate in this discussion with an open mind. Do we agree that there are two sides to everything? (plus many varying degrees of each)
my best regards, rayww
