Just think about it...
 
Music.
 
Creativity.
 
Vibration.
 
Sound.
 
Organization.
 
Variation.
 
Sustained by Powerful Silence.
 
Movement.
 
Expanding.
 
Contracting.
 
Like Breath...
 
Oneness-in-Differentiation.
 
Differentiation-in-Oneness.
 
Creation as "Divine Song"
 
And the title is...
 
"I Am...Immanuel!"

And guess what...

It's a love song!

An ETERNAL Love Song.

See what great love the Father has lavished on us, that we should be called children of God! And that is what we are! The reason the world does not know us is that it did not know him. Dear friends, now we are children of God, and what we will be has not yet been made known. But we know that when Christ appears, we shall be like him, for we shall see him as he is.  All who have this hope in him purify themselves, just as he is pure.

Blessed are the pure in heart, for they will see God.

And God's energies are the "fundamental tone" of the Song.

Make sense?

Do I get to compose anything for God? Do you think he'd enjoy that?

POW?

It's a band. You get to compose the notes that you play, but you also "become" the music in it's whole.

S E E:  "Music"

Tom: Exactly. That's my vision. Always has been. Creation is God composing composers who compose.

I say...

Creation is God composing composers who compose God's Composition only in and through God's Spirit of Composition, via the composed composers' own composing.

How's about that, huh?

D: I say Creation is God composing composers who compose God's Composition only in and through God's Spirit of Composition, via the composed composers' own composing. How about that?

T: A VERY different scenario than mine. As far as I can see, D, your view is contradictory (to the extent you call us 'composers'). It can't be the case that we're "composers" if the actual music we produce is determined/composed by God and not us. Without that freely creative determination of creaturely expression, the creature cannot be a "composer." A composer is a person who composes/creates music. If you're not the one doing THAT, you're not a composer. And you don't have us doing THAT. You have God saying, "Here are the specific notes in the specific arrangement that you will play" and God "gives" us the specific composition that we play. He doesn't give us the capacity to create and then give us the room to determine that capacity.

Dude,

Just believe what you want and live before God...and I'll do the same.

For real.
 
We are different pages...and we are just going to be.
 
Let's just all follow God with everything that we are...and be done.
 
Theosis or bust.

cheers
