Reciprocal Fear

Let not your light fear your darkness, and let not your darkness fear your light.

"It may also be possible all energy has the same constituents as photons are themselves composed of, which would likewise always have the speed of light. What those may be, however, is highly speculative, as they would be beyond the level even of elementary particles. If all elementary particles have the same basic constituents, however, this would explain how elementary particles can bring others into being. Photons themselves can be converted into any kinds of other particles, for instance. Usually, when two particles interact (read collide) with one another with enough energy, their kinetic energy is converted into other particles. However, if two photons interact with one another with enough energy, they are entirely converted into other particles. This is basically the time reversal transformation of the combination of matter and antimatter particles, which yields photons.

When photons are converted into matter, its energy is transferred into these particles. Thus, it is obvious that the energy in the photons is of the same form of that of the particles, and therefore, has the same particles at some level. That all forms of energy can be converted into one another seems to indicate that all energy fundamentally has the same constituents. Otherwise they could interact, but no more.

All this is, however, mere guesswork."

Of Evil and Mercy

Light is love. In this it is merciful, even for the dark. Love spares what it loves, even if it hurts; only hate can destroy. While light may increase positive things, it may not decrease negative things; only darkness can decrease negative things, though it cannot increase positive things. Day casts light both on that which is beautiful and that which is ugly, or is seen as such; night hides both in darkness.
Of course, what is good or bad depends entirely on one's perception, but what perception is good or bad itself, as well, depends on one's perception of it in turn. Positive and negative are entirely subjective, as are all things.
If in the eternity of time, aught has achieved to become one with the Universe or even near, then its infinite light must love all people and all things in the Universe for it to exist at all, and so it does not seek to change them; not even oblivion, chaos, suffering, ignorance, or lack of free will. If there is a God, then God is infinite love, love for everything, even all the things that we hate, and even for our hate of those things, and for our hate of our hate and so on.
For love has not the strength to undo that upon which it shines its light; and hate has not the strength to become one with the universe, for if it would do so it would come to hate itself and destroy itself.
In an infinite universe all things already are. Changing such a universe would mean to remove something from it, for one cannot add anything to it. It therefore removes nothing from existence as that would make it less complete
In an infinite universe all things already are. Changing such a universe would mean to remove something from it, for one cannot add anything to it.
In this God loves hatred, suffering, darkness and emptiness as much as love, happiness, light and beauty. If one loves something, one will not change it; if one loves all the Universe, then so too one will not change it. In this there is nothing that separates God from the Devil; God is not just good or evil, but both, or else neither.
For us, even if there is a God, there might not be any God for ourselves. It makes no difference to us at all whether there is or not, unless we follow it to become one with the Universe ourselves.
Universal love means universal mercy. But what does mercy really mean? In the epics where Good battles against Evil, it has often been shown how, while the evil side spares no-one, when the good side prevails it has mercy for evil side. Whatever deeds have been committed by the evil side are often forgiven by the good side; the evildoers, even their leaders, are imprisoned, banished, or converted, but rarely killed. This is so not because the good side happens to have such inclination to forgiveness, but because that is what defines is as the good side.
If one had the perception that everything is beautiful, one would change nothing at all, not even things that hurt oneself or others. Only through love can one become infinite, for one would otherwise flee from that infinity. There is nothing that could become one with the Universe, and thereby become the Universe, without loving it altogether as it is.
Such is the bane of God's love.

Greater Beauty

Greater beauty should be loved the most, but even so, we should all love all beauty we have the strength to love. We cannot love all kinds of Beauty at the same time, for to do so we would have to be infinite; we can but cherish the Beauty that we already see. We should not repel forms of Beauty that are hurtful to us when they befall us, but neither should we embrace them. For we may never be able to learn to love all beauty there is, as our time might be limited.
