I see. So, in your mind you also see that dual nature is stronger than single nature? Perhaps, I'm misreading, but it seems that survival has programmed animals with a dual nature as well. Perhaps animals, as we think of and percieve them, are truly 'metaphors' for dual true nature. Killing only when necessary to survive, and not just flesh, but anything. Those are all pipe dreams though, and will not be possible in our time unless.... ....

That's very interesting. I think I agree with you in your definition of god, also, I think that god is not any weaker than human beings are, and human beings are not any weaker than god, but both are more powerful then the other. a dual nature of strength that makes the other weaker, yet both function in a relationship. in a metaphor, god needs human beings, just as much as human beings need god. and as we may be a tool of discovery on this level of existence, god, or, all that is, functions in a way, understanding the outcome of any possible event that takes place here. but, what is lacking, is the experience, and human beings experience on a physical plane. in a sense, yes, i think that human beings must embrace the world of the material, and we already are doing that...some intoxicate themselves with their strength and leadership quality, losing sight of true ideals as the potential of that strength is unravelled, ultimatley, we have choice, and it seems choice is war (insert every theory known to man related to social, psychological, spiritual on why), and the blood bath's that follow. that can make anyone reject the material, as it seems the material is total destruction. The tools for peace and such exist, they are just not being used. So, how can we expect god to put them in motion? They are our tools. God already put his/her tool in motion. Peace.
