Erasing the line
2:45:16 AM kat: today in class professor k drew this diagram on the board with transcendence on top and immanence underneath and a big line in between. i got him to erase the line.
2:45:34 AM mitsu: what did you say?
2:47:37 AM kat: i said i had a problem with the line because it implied there was a separation between god and us. and then he said well that’s why he’s got the arrow going across the line. and i said there was no line to break through in the first place, and that he should erase it. and he did.
2:48:02 AM mitsu: ha ha!!
2:48:17 AM mitsu: that’s very confident of you
2:49:36 AM kat: then later i said if there was going to be a line it had to be on the immanence side, not in the middle.
2:49:48 AM mitsu: interesting. what did you mean by that
2:50:26 AM kat: i said that the line is something people create, not god
2:51:02 AM kat: i said all this out loud in room full of about a hundred people.
2:51:22 AM mitsu: what did the other students say
2:54:14 AM kat: well one girl was saying that she thought there was a separation between the spirit world and the material world. and then the professor actually asked how many people had any idea what he was talking about when he talked about transcendence. and he asked how many people had experienced it. and he said that chances are if they knew what he was talking about, then they knew what i was talking about.
2:54:42 AM mitsu: how many raised their hands?
2:55:03 AM kat: it was hard to see from where i was sitting, but more people than i’d have expected
