ir was said i have doubts about the spiritual being being able to assume human form at will. i don't think i have any doubts or beliefs about it.
For ultimately we are Divinity, just the way a leaf is part of the tree.
so who's doing the deciding, the leaf the tree?
1/
there is only one Mind in the Universe and when we clear away the detritus from the Falls from Grace (pre- and perinatal traumas) built up in our early life experiences, which separate ourselves from knowing that, then we are One with it.
2/
also, i don't believe there is any free will. i believe everything we do are Divine actions, as we operate as Divine beings, whether we like it or not. even our "mistakes" are not mistakes. There is only Divinity, and there is only perfection

What I always think of is the analogy with cars.
1/
People don't generally go around committing mass murder with autos. Sure, people get killed in auto accidents, but it is not intentional. And we all *need* autos for daily tasks, errands, and work (unlike guns) ... so if it is an "evil" it is a necessary one ... daily!
Yet, what of cars? We require registration of them, of the driver, licensing, and training. Why are guns exempt from safety concerns? Why? I'll tell you why ... bc of rednecks who need them to feel "manly" (i.e., machismo)...
I meet my girlfriend, on her bike, & my bike I’ve parked about 15 feet away around the corner of the store. We kiss. Stuff. I turn back around & there’s a guy pushing one bike & with his hands on mine, about to push it away.
Clearly he was attempting to steal it (in a matter of a minute from having gotten there! With me nearby & him even pushing a (probably) stolen other bike!)
Not seeing the Trump/Republican connection, yet, I’m sure. But you will.
