| Posted 4/6/2007 11:02 AM (GMT -6) |   | In the beginning was the Logos, and the Logos was with God, and the Logos was God. (TOM: BI-POLAR RELATIONAL UNITY) He was with God in the beginning. Through him all contingent expressions were made; without him nothing was made that has been made. In him was Life (the Spirit), and that Life was the Light of all people. The Light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.
There was a man sent from God whose name was John. He came as a witness to testify concerning that Light, so that through him all might believe. He himself was not the Light; he came only as a witness to the Light.
The true Light that gives light to everyone was coming into the world. He was in the world, and though the world was made through him, the world did not recognize him. He came to that which was his own, but his own did not receive him. Yet to all who did receive him, to those who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God— children born not of natural descent, nor of human decision or a husband's will, but born of God.
The Logos became matter and made his dwelling among us. We have seen his glory, the glory of the one and only Consequent Hypostasis, who came from the Primordial Hypostasis, full of grace and truth.
(John testified concerning him. He cried out, saying, "This is he of whom I said, 'He who comes after me has surpassed me because he was before me.' " ) Out of his fullness we have all received grace in place of grace already given. or the law was given through Moses; grace and truth came through Jesus Christ. No one has ever seen God, but the one and only [Son], who is himself God and is in closest relationship with the Father (Again, bi-polar consciousness) , has made him known.
"My prayer is not for them alone. I pray also for those who will believe in me through their message, that all of them may be One, Father, just as you are in me and I am in you. May they also be in us so that the world may believe that you have sent me. I have given them the glory that you gave me, that they may be One as we are One— I in them and you in me—so that they may be brought to complete Unity. Then the world will know that you sent me and have loved them even as you have loved me."

Life's not a "merely" a Divine Dream (though that's not bad.)
It's a KALEIDOSCOPE OF CONTINGENT EXPRESSIVE EXPERIENCE in and through the Consequent Hypostasis of Necessary Existence.
Heh.
