👍 So the peril is the cleaved mind and our Tendency to see things as opposites. I tried to have a conversation recently along the lines of the Biblical story of Adam and Eve being a parable about the dangers of dualistic mindsets, rather than a literal story about man versus woman. The conversation went nowhere... of course...
Look it's a nice commentary, but it's flawed in practice. If hate is an illusion, and love is an illusion, then the emotions of hate and love are what exactly? Biochemical reactions? Something to be medicated out of existance? I've watched much of that Aquarian High Council series... There's much of value to it, but there's also a degree of hatred, masquerading as justification for spiritual war. War definitely has a spirit to it, but this thing called spiritual war seems very much like feminine violence, rather than actual war. Perhaps we could just dispense with the niceties and bring back Voodoo. That seems to be spiritual war.
It's not saying that love IS an illusion; it's saying that there CAN BE an illusion of live rather than the reality. There is most surely a reality of love. But it's not a dualistic concet with hate as its "opposite."
Isn't love and hate the same thing in some streams of thought? If it is, then it's a Yin Yang, with the balance point in the pivot being the place to be. That I understand in some ways. What I don't understand is behaviour from supposedly loving people who hate other people. That one has always been perplexing.
OK so, ACIM takes a different approach; that is the essence of its whole philosophy. No, love and hate are not opposites any more than truth and lie are opposites.
the most we can do, except keep an eye out for others in her sit. And I'm waiting for someone to tell me what drug she came off of and went suicidal immediately. They should all switch to heroin and bourbon. Much safer.

We know that it involved rapidly coming off of her medication a year ago...and then having a very, very difficult 11 months
Thanks........I think of her often.

Well Said Eric !
