your question is dependant upon your interpretation of what the Divine consists of to you, and not what the Divine's interpretation of what the Divine consists of to Itself. 8)

Ah, but if I'm an extension of the divine, how could there be a dichotomy?

obviously because thats the way the Divine wants it. perhaps the Divine wishes to know what it's like to not be Divine. is the fruit of the Tree like the Tree Itself? are the individual molecules that make up your being like the totality of your being in any way in and of themselves? in these regards, there are only questions, and no answers. who can really say "why" other than the Divine Itself? certainly not Esmer. 8)

That water molecule in my lefthand index finder, making its way back to my heart as we speak has not the ability to judge or to question "why."

But to return to the subject (ask Esmer), what did you think of the most recent Rambo movie?

everyone I know who has seen it has told me they liked it. I think I, tho, haven't seen it, and have no desire to see it. doesn't mean I won't watch it if it's on, tho. 8)

Why do I keep waking up at 5am every morning? What's with that? It's 12pm San Fran time...does that mean my body is craving lunch?

Oh and do you reckon this sore leg I've had for several days is deep vein thrombosis? Should I go to the doctor?

Why was the member of the resistance whistling the same tune as the one sunny sings when she's cooking eggs?

Every time I think of you
I always catch my breath
And I'm still standing here
And you're miles away
And I'm wondering why you left

And there's a storm that's ragin'
Through my frozen heart tonight
I hear your name in certain circles
And it always makes me smile
I spend my time thinkin' about you
And it's almost drivin' me wild
And there's a heart that's breakin'
Down this long distance line tonight....
:P

sounds about right. of course your body will take time to adjust back to it's previous rhythms. and I would go to the doctor, just to be safe. the last thing we want to do around here is miss you permanently. 8)

because it's a popular song with significant relevance to certain aspects of the storyline. 8)

for those who have no preferences.
When love and hate are both absent
everything becomes clear and undisguised.
Make the smallest distinction, however
and heaven and earth are set infinitely apart.
If you wish to see the truth
then hold no opinions for or against anything.
To set up what you like against what you dislike
is the disease of the mind.
When the deep meaning of things is not understood
the minds essential peace is disturbed to no avail.

The Way is perfect like vast space
where nothing is lacking and nothing is in excess.
Indeed, it is due to our choosing to accept or reject
that we do not see the true nature of things.
Live neither in the entanglements of outer things,
nor in inner feelings of emptiness.
Be serene in the oneness of things
and such erroneous views will disappear by themselves.
When you try to stop activity to achieve passivity
your very effort fills you with activity.
As long as you remain in one extreme or the other
you will never know Oneness.
