Just a Cakepan




Each personality has
two sides:

a good side and a bad side
or
a bad side and a good side
(everything's relative, eh?)

This is what happened:

When God created man
and woman
in his own image,
each was given the miserable task
of containing both
sides of God,
while also
being both sides of God.

 The good side is                    The bad side is
the side that                                           the side of inadequacies
has done goodness                       and insufficiencies.
it is the side of                   Of Guilt and
completeness               jealousy


But you see, both of these sides
are the two sides of The God;
for - don't forget - God had
to divide itself
in order to be able to
see itself.
It had to produce
its negative.


Think of it: it's like a 
cakepan; I saw one today;
it was shaped like a football
stadium - but as you know,
for a cake pan to produce 
a cake that looks like
a football stadium, it
has to be the inverse,
so too the creation:
what
God made was the inverse
of God -- God's opposite,
and that's what the universe
is.

Like a cake pan.


The thing is --
the problem with being human,
is we are created
in God's image,
which means
we have the unfortunate
task of containing two
sides, both good & bad
- the outverse & the inverse -
in our own psyches.

Each one of us has a good;
each one of us has a bad.


The thing that keeps us from
going crazy
over the fact
we have both a good and a bad
is a thing called
conscience.

Conscience,
of course,
is an abstraction;
it pushes us 
into the realm of that
which is not
physical.

We contain it in our
avatars.

It is
the location where
the energy from the brain
and 
the energy from the heart
meet;
if we must give it a location:

it's in the heart.

You see, we're just giant
multiband
radio beacons:
we negotiate frequencies
on different sites 
of our bodies.

If everything
is working,
we produce harmony --
better known as

love.




People who have brain
damage
cannot do this,
because
the brain is the seat
of the master cylinder,
so to speak,
the apparatus
that helps us
maintain this balance
of frequences
and likewise produces
love.

Inversely,
some people 
have an excess of that capacity;
and on this earthly plain,
those people 
have their exact opposite
among those
who are depleted.

There is an extraordinary
uncanny
link
between two entities that are
absolute opposites.
They feel they are supposed to be
together,
because
they are like God together,
and there is a point
in their psyches
where they meet
precisely.

)(

Ideally, two exact opposites should meet
in order to find
absolute happinesss

)(


But don't despair;
if you have not found your exact opposite:
we are all linked;
we are linked
by something stronger
if we let that something stronger
be.



Forgiving
Compassionate
Unselfish

If we could use that capacity,
which we are all 
capable of doing,
we could adhere
our oppositions
and be
the perfection
God wants us to be.

You see,
when they ate that old
tomato,
Adam and Eve
came to realize
they were two
and this was complicated
by tthe two-ness they both
contained within
and both their bad sides
felt guilty,
but didn't know how to tell
each other.


That
was the nature 
of the fall  --

it's been our tasks
ever since
to rectify it.

Cakepans:

we have to recognize
that opposition
is integral to
our 
identity.


and forgive
and forget
and to never
do
again.
