GREAT QUESTIONS dear Eric!

Does it matter?
"..it matter.." all matter falls into entropy hum? Life, what we consider sacred, is
reverse entropy, or going against the natural entropy, dropping and dissappearing of all physical things. All matter fades. So.. "Does it matter?" if something is a matter, then it is only for a (short) time.
What I think is beautiful and eternal in us humans is when we make the break from supposed "matters" and look, question, quest, search for the real keys, the matrixes and synchronicities that go against matter - reverse entropies.
Sometimes people reading about detachment, the ego self dying, they get all confused and even upset. In some ways this means that they are ready for transformative information!
Many doctrines of self-mastery say that until one is completely fed up with the shallow answers that they have been given, only when they are really truly searching, only then are they ready to begin.
I say all this to say that I truly agree with your ideas here dear Eric. Regarding when the seed becomes the tree, there is a "_ness" that is the key. It is always a tree, always a seed, in it's being or beingness or ESSENCE. This never changes, and we can guess and speculate forever but essence is what never changes. We are a child, grow up, but are still a child, a child is grown up compared to an embreyo, we are children compared to someone who is 100 years old. It is all relative!
People who say they have all the answers should be watched out for! Answers are, as you said,"not lasting." Here is even more blabology, digression, whatever you want to call it, but I soooo love these discussions... because we can discuss! Hear:
The unknowable. I think about this sometimes, and if something is truly unknowable, then when you scratch the surface and find that you think you know something about it, it changes, hum? The best we can do is keep circling around what we are pretty sure of, and gather as much
useful information as we can, knowing that regularly everything turns around and we need to reevaluate it all anyway! Grasping hints of truths, sharing what is useful and knowing that at any time they will change anyway.
The other issue is:
PERSPECTIVE.
One person's truth is another person's lie! A tree with a disease it would spread to another should be cut down. Good. To an animal living in it, bad. Maybe it finds another healthier tree to live in. Good. Someone cuts down too many trees, bad. For new growing things the lack of trees is good. It is all perspective, and there are as many perspectives and there are points in the universe hum?
So questions is a great achievement. I like how it has the word "quest" built right in! Some things are obvious and require simple material knowing. The "riddles of the self and the world unfolding" require a type of quest to find what is best, at a given time. Questing well is the best we can ask for! Questioning, this is our process. So you shared some quest(ion)ing, and I'm sharing what I've found "along the way"... he he..
And together we all quest(ion) well!
Love and light being, Teo Do (Re, Mi...)
