Beyond Identities of Difference and Into the All of Being
From time to time, we have what we call a “bench,” a conversation with several spirits. Back in 2017, we talked with two spirits in such a bench session.
“Greetings, o temporal ones. People often think of schemes in a negative way. Schemers are seen as bad. But isn’t All That Is a scheme and a schemer of which we all are a part? Do we not blend our own dreams and plans into the cauldron of being? Do we not shape and are we not shaped by the shared creation of all the dreams and plans?”
“Here’s a thought: All dreams and plans are for naught in the fullness of All, and yet the fullness of All is NOT without the plentitude of dreams and plans. And lest you think your dreams and plans count the most, the simplest Jurassic worms’ sense of being and becoming count as much as yours. It is not a hierarchy, and not a competition, but a sense of holographic unity and necessity and cooperation. If you at your level of complexity can dismiss or diminish another’s, then what value do yours have?
“Unless you are All, then you must be a contributing part. No better or worse than any other part. Got it?!”
“Ok, next. ‘Me?’ No, her. ‘O’ “
“Hello. I don’t understand why he calls me ‘her’ because HS is an entity of essence beyond gender as am I, and you and them and Sandy... woof? Yes!
“The markers of identity are useful for the earliest building blocks of any complexity, but they must be overcome in the process of development. At less complex levels, they too had dividing and divisive categories which seemed to propagate their identity but look, hey, if they had been essential you’d still be living them out. But you don’t! And things like gender will fade away before you move on. And then you can try to use new identifiers of difference until you learn and remember to focus beyond the differences. And so on and so on and so on.”
