Nothing in all creation is so like God as stillness.

Hm. I think I come out on the side of the dynamic here. Or one of those keen paradoxes. Immobility and unchangeability without a flip side of perpetual change and motion is just death.

Though stillness and immobility might potentially not be synonyms here.

Hm. Perhaps they're not.

God is like the pause that refreshes?

I agree in so much that stillness is fullness, completeness, the sort of stillness that you have written about in your posts, especially the Tao.

In this sense, I agree with it all. Stillness is as God. Attaining this harmony or stillness within ourselves is to be like God, or a God. Since we are living beings, I see this energized by rhythm; to me it is like the SoHam that you also wrote about. . .unfortunately that would be a huge entry for me to describe, and get into right now (the ryhthm inherent in all things, on all planes; tuning; how LOGOS is the archetypal concept of bellowing forth while in tune with the 'rhythm'; how this relates to K&C with HGA, especially considering hearing=spirit, and the symbolism behind the Vissudha chakra).

But you write about these things in a much more refined manner than I could, and the way you set forth these points is so much more logical. I look very much forward to reading more.
