I don't agree with this interpretation of beginninglessness. To me, it refers to the notion that I simultaneously have no beginning and no end. It is synonymous with endlessness. I am all things at all times...now...

So the question is - how actively do you want to manage your evolution? How much do you want to try, to learn to feel and think better? Whatever "better" means to you. |
Yes, becoming 'better' is a goal. The issue is which vehicles I / we choose to use to become better. If the LoA works for you and for others on this forum then use it to become 'better'. If it doesn't work, then don't use it (or, rather, try to use it). That would be a waste of your time and resources.
