Jim: Well, that paradox to me just gives me the comfort of knowing that all is well. So whatever happens in the manifested world, with the negative over positive and the positive struggling against the negative forces, that it's all teaching the creator and it's the creator learning about itself in the smaller version of ourselves as mind/body/spirit complexes and in the larger version of the wholeness of the creator who made all things. So...all is well, whatever it looks like.
Carla: And you're saying that, basically, if it's all of STS to the creator then it would necessarily be all of STS to it's created parts?
Jim: Right.
Carla: There's the paradox.
Jim: Yeah.
In a way, reading about the underlying paradox depicted here in beautiful expression made for an inherently sad and melancholic insight.
