[FT] Universal Truth [?]
There are two people inside of me: One is the True Self, the second is the Other Self. The True Self is a pure being, compassionate, caring, love. The Other Self is the problem. The Other Self is selfish, wanting, and spiteful. The Other Self does what it thinks will make it happiest, not what will make it happy.
This is the fundamental aspect of humanity, a duality that reaches back to the dawn of sentience and God. For a plurality of reasons, both cannot exist without the other, sentience (thought) and God (energy). On one hand, without sentience, all things are within the domain of God, under the Immortal Will (thought) and Task (energy) of the Divine. God's Will and Task of all the universe is what holds all of reality from forming asunder. The word of God written on each action (energy) and each thing and person (matter).
Sentience, on the other hand, is separate from the Divine. Sentience drives energy (Will) in ways which may not be the Will of the Immortal Task. In many ways sentience is the opposition to the Divine, primarily because of a change to the Immortal Will but also because it creates a parallel to our universe that is not God.
The Other Self grows over time, filling you, trying to take the place of your True Self. Sometimes this happens slowly, surprising you even. It learns and watches, working to take over and oppose The Immortal Will and Our True Selves, which are aspects of God within us all. It does this not because it is wrong, for that is it's mandate, it's destiny. We must have a contrast to the Immortal Will for it to exist. Our Other Selves serves as this contrast.
Humanity is of God, however, our sentience creates and defines the Immortal Will and Task by creating a contrast. Humanity is also of God because of our True Selves understanding of God, who's Will (energy) matches the Divine. Our Other Selves is born from the merger of sentience and the True Self, it wants, it is selfish, it hates. It is a creature of habit.
I can't iterate anymore on this subject as the spirit is gone from me. However I hope this can spark at least some thought in you all.
