The picture is a projection of the assumption that goodness is actually too good to expect & too good to be true.

Someone here Posted October 2 Share Posted October 2 2 minutes ago, Phil said: If the little girl represents God, then who is Jesus supposed to represent? What I meant is that in terms of "wholesomeness " the entire situation is GOD . So ..the girl is god . Jesus is the girl cosplaying as Jesus...which is god . The two bears are god . It's all god playing games with itself . So nothing is actually lost if Jesus took the small bear from her and replaced it with the bigger one as per @Blessed2' objection.

The irony is you’ve turned Jesus’s message of surrender of attachment, picture wise, into a game of self-deception, swapping His role with the devil’s. 3 hours ago, Someone here said: God gets to test you .you don't get to test him . Whereas nonduality just means not two, pointing out God is an idea, a belief. A clinging to the concept of “God” playing roles and testing itself fragments this, wholeness, well-being, into characters and narratives. This perpetuates mental division, undermining the sense of direct, unbroken presence that wholeness entails. It keeps attention on the conceptual drama rather than the simplicity of being, which is naturally whole and free of conflict. The concept “God” is inherited and built upon layers of conjecture, not something directly experienced or realized. It’s a borrowed idea, continually reinforced through beliefs rather than being rooted in reality (wholesomeness).

I understand what you're saying . people are always thinking there’s a supreme being greater than us that either birthed or governs our existence and call it god . Since you as a human being appear limited and inside the "world's sphere "(That we live in a universe of multiverses and shit like that. Which would mean that it gave rise to everything that exists in a way. Bur the reality That if you break down anything in existence small enough to the most simple form possible you would find “God”. I'm not talking about a sky daddy to pray to and cry to and give blowjobs to ..I'm speaking of the substratum of existence. Quote Mention Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s just saying “I understand what you’re saying” - and then reciting beliefs & conjecture. It likely very much seems like that’s what’s being said, as what’s being said is filtered through the beliefs & conjecture, because what’s being said doesn’t jive with beliefs & conjecture, or, simply put - attachment & suppression. Nothing wrong with that whatsoever btw, it just isn’t what’s being said. 13 minutes ago, Someone here said: Which would mean that it gave rise to everything that exists in a way.

Enlightened Cat Posted October 8 Share Posted October 8 (edited) On 10/2/2024 at 9:55 AM, Blessed2 said: Why doesn't he just hold the bigger bear in front so the girl sees it and then give her the bigger one Trust is equivalent to the bigger bear. There isn't one without the other. There isn't "not trusting" and getting a bigger bear, because distrust is the small bear. Trust is the inherent reward. It's the entire parcel. It's not some requirement to coax you into deserving a cool bear. It is the cool bear. Edited October 8 by Enlightened Cat Quote Mention Describe a thought.

Phil Posted October 8 Author Share Posted October 8 Maybe the big bear represents what’s wanted & already unfolding though not yet perception, and the small bear represents attachment to the unfolding or perception as is. The girl might represent the ego or sense of a separate self, believing in God, whereas Jesus might just be self-reflection.
