There is a thing called God-Alcohol that produces a Religious realization-Intoxication that creates Religions-Pink Elephants and attacking those Religions-Pink Elephants delusions of the Religiously realized-Intoxicated does nothing to shake their faith in God-Alcohol because of that very Religiously realized-intoxication.
He who drinks from the well of God's love collapses time and space and ceases to exist in this world. Your admonitions that he is deluded will not reach him for he has hidden himself so completely behind you that he looks our of your own eyes.
Well, you were making sense until that final phrase. Anyone looking out of MY eyes might well be deluded, but certainly not with God-alcohol.
Maybe this will make what I meant more clear.
Actually, it doesn't.
This article about the beliefs of Eckhart of Hochheim (of whom I'm well aware), is speaking of Satchidananda (misspelled in that article), or the supposed bliss that comes from the awareness of oneness with the beloved (which can be God or a lover). Naturally, I think the concept is nonsensical (but I wish it weren't).
But regardless, Satchidananda has nothing to do with the phrase of yours I bolded. If you had written that God was gazing through my eyes and vice versa, this article would be relevant. But you weren't; you were referring to true believers, the imbibers of the God-alcohol, as you put it. There's no I-am-they-and-they-are-I between me and the God-alcoholics.
I appreciate your creativity and flair with phrasing, Moonie, but sometimes you get things a little mixed up. I forgive you.
