I was thinking a similar thing in my "projection" post -- "and moods are a bad thing?" Perhaps personality is composed of moods (and other things). Does God have a "mood" -- a personality? Does a tree, a rock. A flower? Ducks?(I walk past a hundred ducks every day -- so I have an opinion on that.) Mood is a core of projection. When one is angry -- one sees fear, distrust and hate. When ones heart is full, one sees love in everything. Ever been on a course with a teacher who can do the "Love Train" thing? That is blow open 1000 peoples hearts -- wide open. After a week or so. And many (not all) are walking around seeing intense love within and radiating from everyone? In that sense, I hold a different view and experience from T3rinity.Equality -- for something that matters -- can be realized and "seen" from a relative view. While moods and personalities, skills etc, still exist. But if ones personality is "out there" -- what exactly is the distinction being made: "That thing is better than that thing? And both are insignificant compared to this intense Love thing?"
