If God love us enough to create us in the first place, how
can He care enough to let us continually put our little five-year-old hands on
the hot stovetops that the world we live in is full of? Because He wants us to
eventually move into His mansion of heaven full-time and move out of this 24/7
residential kindergarten we call Earth, and He knows that only by being here
can we learn the lessons we need to learn in the way we need to learn them.
Such is the Law Of Paradox: that the coin always has two
sides, both sides being different, yes, but both are part of the one, one equal
to the other.
Since absolutely nothing matters, everything matters; since good
things happen to bad people and bad things happen to good people, then God’s a
son-of-a-bitch but because He also lets good things happen to good people and
bad things happen to bad people then He’s one heckuva pretty good God too;
because there are physical laws of the universe that can never be broken,
random observations that do break our little-brained understanding of what few
physical laws of nature understand become equally valid whether that makes us
comfortable or not; since there is always both love and hate in the world and
not necessarily in perfect 50/50 proportions that one would expect from a
gestalt state of world-wide Grand Will, God must have abandoned us yet when our
child is born and we see the unspoiled perfection of their soul reflected in
their eyes to us we know that God never leaves us even when we want or ask Him
to.
The try to understand The Law Of Paradox is to try to
understand the basic premise of duality of nature that makes us what we are,
human, only God being “uni”, being both Alpha & Omega, being everything at
once since He’s God and is and can do that, we human beings only being able to
experience one part of the whole of something at a time.
Paradoxically, when you begin to think you’ve begun to
understand The Law Of Paradox, you’re actually further afield, further away
from the beginnings of a clue about what paradox truly means than you were when
you began.
By
truly not giving a flip, not caring, not trying, not even attempting even a
momentary thought about trying to understand what The Law Of Paradox is, by
this law of God means you instantly understand it perfectly, completely,
totally. Thing is when you do finally understand it you probably won’t care
that you do, but hey, guess what, such is the nature of The Law Of Paradox.
