I don't like that word "could" ha! ha! I hear it's though Gods Grace, and God Grace is a promise. So how could it be "could?"

Oops! I didn't see how that
could got snuck in there! I don't like to use that word, but sometimes, it comes out. Bad habits, right? Anyway, through questioning or inquiring, whatever you want to call it, it is possible. Beauty, for me, is when there is no thought coming between you and whatever it is you are seeing. Otherwise, we are always comparing or seeing it against our ideas and ideals; comparing it to something else tells us that it is beautiful. For me, that is not seeing anything at all. We just see our idea of it.
You know, this can be difficult to talk about because of the language. I mean, if I talk about love or beauty, how do I know that we are even talking about the same thing? That is one reason why I ask so many questions. I want to know what these words mean for others. It helps to eliminate some of the confusion that might normally follow around a subject like this.

Yes, we have to accept that. But some of our conditioning seems to have been perverted.

Quite true. We are perverted!

Our ideas seem to come from "nowhere" through the mechanism of inspiration.

My bad again. I meant to say
ideals and
not ideas.
Well, it appears we are the only two awake here. But I am in Japan so it is only 6:30 pm. I guess it is still too early for others to chime in effectively, eh?
