The Ego certainly has a "rich" imagination!


LOL, my ego is already working on it! It's good that "we" are not an ego!

you do realize everything you just said was because of your ego right? you twisted my words as well. when i said "the one" i was speaking metaphorically. the universe can be "the one", light can be "the one", existence can be "the one"

I see you asked 'why', jim ...I fell off the loop here so I'm back, very sorry ...
Seeing the 'Nothing' I clearly saw WHY this singular Being did what He did...
You are completely and utterly a=l=o=n=e!
And no one says it better than Meher Baba!!!


God is love. And Love must love. And to love there must be a Beloved.

But since God is Existence infinite and eternal there is no one for Him to love but Himself.
And in order to love Himself, He must imagine Himself as the Beloved whom He
as the lover imagines He loves.


Beloved and lover implies separation.
And separation creates longing; and longing causes search.
And the wider and the more intense the search, the greater the separation and
the more terrible the longing.

When longing is at it's most intense, separation is complete, and the purpose of separation,
which was that love might experience itself as lover and Beloved,
is fulfilled; and union follows.


And when union is attained, the lover knows that he himself was all along the Beloved,
whom he loved and desired union with;

and that all the impossible situations that he overcame were obstacles which he himself
had placed in the path to himself.

To attain union is so impossibly difficult because it is impossible to become what you already are!
Union is nothing other than knowledge of oneself as the Only One.


Thanks for sharing this from Meher Baba, its perhaps the most well thought out, eloquent, reasonable and beautiful explanations I have ever read. There is so much wisdom in it, and for those who have studied the many religions/spiritual traditions of the world, it encompasses what all of them are trying to convey, as it reveals the underlying truth of them all.
