Duality, faith, love, the horror, and God

***

When you judge what is considered external, you create a reference point called 'me' internally, thus inventing a separation, and creating a duality, called hell, which does not actually exist.

The horror now is that even faith is not enough to sustain us in this life- we must also have love. At first we did not live on bread alone, now we cannot even live on faith alone, nor understanding for that matter, but only on love. And yet this must mean that we are finally truly alive, for now God suffers through us in the absence of love, and finally something will be done about it.

You can't disappear while holding on to anything.
