It’s been mentioned, or alluded to, on b4 that the world is “inherently STS.” I had trouble reconciling this with my own beliefs/philosophies, so I just left it behind, as it were.
What does it mean by "inherently STS"?
As STS exist because it's opposite; STO exist.. and vice versa.
If what it meant is the ultimate state is actually none other than infinity which has no border, as thus there is no 'other' to begin with, no STS or STO, then I agree with such definition.
Quote:A child does not have a solidified personality, yet. It can still change. As the Christ once talked about, to become a child is the way to the kingdom of god. Children will mimick powerful super heroes and other such roles. They "pretend" and act as if they are the power, to understand it.
I understood the phrase of "Becoming a child is a way to the kingdom of God" as the process of "unlearning" of any "concept" or "definition" that has been "learned", thus eliminating the "border" in the process.
A child vision presented with an image cannot differentiate between red or white, wall or door, me and other human, they just see everything as it is, without border of definition. As time progress he/she learn about "concept" which define "Something" and also automatically "not something".
A unification with the infinite cannot happened without eliminating all border of definition, all wall of separation between something and something else, and ultimately the border that define "Self" and "Other Self".
In allegorical sense: The bubble that contain the air inside the bubble, which differentiate between the "air inside the bubble" and the "air outside the bubble" and also "other bubble" need to be destroyed, thus no more air inside or air outside of the bubble. There's no bubble, there's just air..
