With only one self who is there to be special?

God is one without a second.

The tree has many branches with buds, some in flower and some in various degrees of moving towards flowering. All one tree.
Of course it will be Now when it happens it cant be otherwise.
It will be Now when Eckhart gives his next talk.
It all unfolds in the eternal moment.

The big problem is were are discussing in a linear fashion that which is beyond our personal experience. From that perspective we are talking about it, talking about is not it.

If David Hawkins says "Only God walks through the final door" and that "Enlightenment is not a personal event" then who am I to disagree.

Anyway while im enjoying our discussion, im not a teacher Im not enlightened.
I dont know but I know some one who does.

So as long as your happy, im happy.
With love
Chris
