Intelligence, understanding, metaphors, love, laugher, sorrow, judgment, death, god, and meaning

***

Man is confused by his own intelligence‑ he cannot believe that he understands what he understands, and, because of this fact, he cannot understand why he does not understand what he does not understand.

(Metaphors exist so that those who understand them will have their understandings corroborated, and those who do not understand them will not have their misunderstandings corroborated.)

Man, you have simply forgotten that YOU ARE LOVE.

It is not an ability of the bound to become unbound.

Laughter slips in and out of the world. Sorrow remains.

There is no sin, only judgment. Judgment is sin.

I am immune to the disease of meaning.

You do not leave the world to find god, you leave the world because god had found you.

Death is the event in which form has ceased to be enjoyable.

There is, at this point, no asking for occurrence to end.

Being never ceases to believe itself.
