To be or not to be, is the solution. We manufacture our own problems, by listening to others and conventions of men. You se I am quoting from Hamlet in that famous soliloquoy "To be or not to be......that is the question." You see to live as Paul said was necessary on "your account" but to be with Christ/not to be "far more joyous."

So that is the dilema of all of us here, shal we go on living this life of ours, or shall we opt out of it by becoming narcotised by life as the billions do, or committing suicide as a few do actualy more than the deaths on the road in the Land of Oz!
Of all questions this demands our most immediate attention!

Suppose these two to be or not to be dovetail perfectly? Am I there very absence and yet presence. Are they not like two sides of the same coin? It is because like Shakespeare's Hamlet they are divided into two, that the currency of our life seems so shabby and cheap. But bring these two sides together into a perfect oneness, and all the shabbiness and debased nature they have in separation goes out the window.

So this inward seeing and this outward seeing are brought together, this not to be and to be become one coin. The subject and object simultaneously are pointed too. The moment we "see face to face" the truth and know that both are the same, we can then "lose our life to find it" it is reverse polarity. One becomes zero so one then becomes all things. This mystery is great like Christ and His body the nothing and the all thing becoming ONE...the Human and the Divine.
