We are representatives of the One Above. And as such, we live as two opposites at once:
We are not beings for ourselves. We are but agents of that which is beyond us.
Yet we must be freethinking, independent beings—because to represent the One Above, we must have our own will and our own sense of being as He does.
And if you should say, “But this is an impossibility! Two opposites in a single being!”
Yes, you are correct, it is an impossible paradox without resolution.
Which is why this renders us representatives of the Impossible One Above.
Chayei Sarah 5752.
The paradox was evident in the Tree found in the middle of The Garden Of Eden
The tree of the knowledge of Good and Evil. When you eat the fruit the conflict begins.
When Adam and Eve partook of the fruit of this tree it immediately thrust them in the throes of the the dreadful conflict between good and evil. God had warned them against partaking of this ‘mixed fruit,’ but man, in his own self-will, yet under the purpose of God, proceeded to eat of the fruit of the tree, and found himself in the midst of the conflict from that time onward. Such duality produces conflict, and conflict destroys our inner rest.”
There are multitudes today who are not conscious of the fact that they are eating of the same tree Adam and Eve partook of in the garden.
When we seek out the deeper meaning of the first 3 chapters Genesis. the rest of Scriptures is clarifies the rest of Scripture.
