nice.
diversity.
i feel that in order for God to experience himself fully, all possiblities and permutations of existence must be created and explored. he has done just that.
now in order for us to be a reflection of God, we must be diverse in our thoughts, emotions, and actions.
Never been the religious type. I dig that train of thought though. Words that come to mind. Diversity, awareness, peacefulness, and connection. I'm down with that.

~ It is bad when one thing becomes two. One should not look for anything else in the Way of the Samurai. It is the same for anything that is called a Way. If one understands things in this manner, he should be able to hear about all ways and be more and more in accord with his own.~
^ The Way is mysterious but simplistic. That is the miracle of the Way. It is a unity of all, hence why so complicated but easy. With a simple pondering mind, one might understand some of the beauties of the Way..
my 2 cents
The way is a circle. We cannot find god without having walked the circle. We must be as virtuous as we are sinful, we must be cruel and we must be merciful, we must experience all emotions, we must experience and experiment. All of these are godly. Carnal lust is as godly as penitent abstinence, we must understand that gluttony is as pure as the ascetic refusal of food. We must work hard and we must abandon work and live with nature.
But we then must make sense of it all. Once we understand how all these things can coexist and still be good we will find happiness. We will understand that it is just as good to eat fine foods as it is to fast. That is the destruction of self and the entrance of the divine. We must blow out the candle of our desires and find solace that everything is godly. It is only then that we can be like god.
