Horror - the ultimate issue
"Everything is a divine play, lalalala" (big smile)
Many teachers say these kind of things - and a lot of seekers to. :)
For me this still is the most difficult part of looking at Reality. Our true nature is Love, and Love accepts all. Rape, torture, child molesting, you name it, it's an expression of the Divine. Of course also the condemning of these acts is an expression of the Divine. But still I havn't fully integrated it. And you know what, I think for me this matter of torture and so on, is the ultimate tightening up.
If I would fully see this tightening up for what it is, that would be good news!
If I would ever go through the 'gate-less gate' I'm curious whether I would also become someone who constantly says: "Everything is a divine play!"
Or if I would have the natural wisdom to see all sides at the same time, and then there's also a place for this:
Seems true to me. Not talking from an advaita blueprint - but being natural. Fully human. I love it!
(But the darkness in my belly concerning this matter still pulsates. Perhaps it covers up a pot of gold. But the mistake would of course be to delve into it. It has to be seen fully, without any effort.)

Hi Arjen, this has nothing to do with advaita and has everything to do with being natural. Who you are is this very moment. Awareness is right now, simply aware of itself. Self re-cognises Self; effortlessy and spontaneously.
"If I would ever go through the 'gate-less gate'" The gateless gate is RIGHT NOW, so you are already through it. It is only this 'thought' or idea that suggests otherwise. An idea away from who you really are; simply an idea, a fleeting appearance of nothingness.
Yes, from who you really are, then everything is accepted and not judged. However, from the character's viewpoint, then anything is possible. The two view points can co-exist, why not? If torture causes tightening then let that happen, do not try to interfer with it. However, know that what is aware of this tightening is not the tightening; it is your true Self. So, actually, everything can exist together; no matter what perspective it is seen from. Ultimately, it is only thoughts that appear to cover up who you really are; not who you think you are. Nothing more than a thought. Are you a thought or are you that in which all thoughts come and go? What is that? It can only be discovered or recognised by itself, RIGHT NOW.
Peace and Love to All
