He that loveth his life shall lose it; and he that hateth his life in this world shall keep it unto life eternal. ~John 12:25

To be eternal is to be infinite and that is the truest difference between the unity and the duality. Are you tethered to something endless, or are you transient? Are you finite? That, and nothing else, is the question that governs all questions. Only when we recognize that the only thing worth recognizing is the Infinite itself – brilliant, blinding, serene; can we resist the gravity of material existence – of meaninglessness. We must pour our sensitivities into that which is essential, eternal, and unyielding. The duality is nothingness without end. It serves nothingness itself. It’s a completely Jewish phenomenon – this system that we live in today. The dualistic marxist nature cannot engage with anything beyond the rational, the measurable, the seen. But nothingness – true absence, death; is the most ungraspable thing of all. You’re left chasing hollow things and the approval of hollow people – a machine, malfunctioning to the end. There’s nothing ahead. Nothing to look forward to. The only thing worth looking forward to is escaping this physical world. To be in unison with God is not merely to worship – but to become a trembling hand extended from the Infinite. We aren’t made insignificant by the lengths of the cosmos but validated. I do not understand how one might seek to illuminate their life without a love of God. If sin pulls us away, then yes – we must crucify the self until what remains is shaped in His image. Nothing worth living for arrives without hardship or blood. A seedling must tear through soil and stone to touch the sun. The same is true for your soul. We feel limited only because we dream in inches. But if you understand, even faintly, that here and now you are already linked to the Infinite, then your desires begin to change their colors. And suddenly your breath carries weight, your silence sings, and you begin, at last, to live.
