The second phase could be called TBE, True Believer in Everything, because one is now at the point where every moment, every singularity is offered up on the throne of the Divine, as an instantaneous opportunity to turn Infinity as one desires, the much vaunted "Field of All Possibilities" in action. When I remarked that your expression of the word "sweet" was real, it was not meant as a criticism of the cherished True Believer devotion, but rather a recognition that you are a knower of Reality; dynamic, instantaneopus Infinity, more TBE than TB. That's all.
