Samastha Lokah Sukhino Bhavanthu

In oneness the individual soul is maya, but the thoughts of a logical mind aren't applicable and the paradoxical nature of creation is ineffable. To say the individual soul is merely illusion is in and of itself a half truth. The individual experience exists within the context of an eternal collective awareness. The ramifications and permutations of our experiences are infinite and indeed there is only life in different forms many of which we aren't hardwired to perceive on this plane as that would be a conflict of interests. The interest being, creators and participants seeking symbiotic interchanges and limitless perception.

I'm just kind of throwing difficult concepts at the wall here based on my latest venture in this electronic water bag meat suit..

It's just as important to forget as to re-member, just the same we must shed skin which gives the appearance of death but is actually rebirth.. Or perhaps the option for a Bodhisattva that enjoys the challenge. There is always the risk that the material plane of existence could lure a soul back into the cycle of samsara. No risk no reward.
