the Idea that permeates through Substance

becomes Substance.Have you ever considered that "separation from" can initiate a process of slow induction into the very matter that one separates from oneself. So with me it happened. It starts like a joke. In fact it is a joke. I will use "we" so that we can all participate into the subtle penetration of the idea into the substance. We play with fire, a match, it is a joke. We fondle it with our fingers, we try to make its fire fade a bit, we try to blow it through our fist, we try many things. Some we achieve, some burn us. But it is small burns after all, in front of the challenge of tricking a match.
After the little burns we continue. The challenge grows all the more... it is exhilarating. Do we understand that we are caught in the challenge itself, it is the challenge that moves our fingers, that burns our fist, that makes our eyes focus in a mania to fulfill the trick. As the challenge grows the match burns on... Does it occur to us that the match will eventually burn out? No. In the back of our head maybe yes. But let us talk consciously as much as we could.

So the match burns out. And our fingers are empty, the little burns remain, the fist desires the challenge of the fire through once more, and twice more.. and many more times.. but the match is burnt.

Now you must find this absurd. Who would invest emotion in a match trick?
But then again, the more you pretend to ignore the match the more it is a parasite within you and then slowly from a host the desire of the match is the match itself within you. See how we have become you? It is all about the "you," the separation. We participate but the "you" separates.

When it is burnt and the match stands like an idea, the "you" cannot escape the "match" or the desire for it, one and the same thing, by way of life-conditioning, and the "we" bangs inside the "you",,, the "you" is within "me" and the two people of a we are one within the "me" and the idea permeates through substance and by way of separation you have managed to call inside to make part of your DNA the "me."
The Ego slips in and the "you" and the "we" are invoked...

Where am I getting at?
If you suddenly realized at one irrelevant moment that something is still inside you, it makes you cry or it makes you laugh, you can call it "love"
you cannot erase it and you cannot forget it because we are not just material... but substance and it is part of your substance in material terms it has slid under your skin and it burns the deposits of your memory in a way that no "material" match can...
And you can guess right : the "match" does not actually ever burn out.. but in..
in the "we"
