sisterX, what is greater evil, a master beating his will into his subjects, or the subjects beating the master into an equal? and if in the resistence one dies for his cause, it is nobel. it is god that would be full of arrogance, it depends on how you look on the situation. force and fear i will not bend to if i can accomplish such, i am a slave enough just by existing and i value Love and freedom/liberty not a "Paradise" of god's, but my own "paradise" for if its not my paradise, its not a paradise at all, at least not to me.

seeing the self in everything, is often also seeing everything in the self. its about understanding the relationships and causes of actions and states. The ego is diminished as a small part of the self, not necssarly extended into everything. i've noticed a difference in my impulse and my will, my will is my counsiousness or awarness, my impulse is my sexual drive, hunger,ext. i guess the impulse is the Id.
