You tell me. What is God?

It is kinda pointless to ask, most of thous states have divided mind, what person says and what experiences are different.

1) yes, darkness is a a very dim form of love

2) see point 1, yes it is, but sometime the light is so dim that your subjective experience of it may believe it is evil

1) I used many different and apparently opposite to each other strategy, all of them were needed in the end

2) complete free will is when you become enlightened, before that you have various degrees of free will. From no free will (animals), to a lot of free will (a person who is very close to becoming enlightened).

 God is not a singular entity. Everything is God. Some things look like the exact opposite of God (the devil/intense pain). But if you look at the Tao symbol, there is a drop of darkness in the white part of the tao, and a drop of light in the dark side of the tao. All is God/Tao. I can elaborate more if you ask more specific questions on this topic.

see my answer above (I'll paste it here anyway):

@Arzack

can you explain the Infinite now to me in your own words? 

[Sam Johnson]

@Arzack

if you have attained the very first stage, like you said, you probably talking about sotapanna stage? If that is the case my friend, there is still a long way to go to get to the last one.

ask something guys, my ego-less self is bored and craving attention.

Bring them on.

Silly questions are most welcome too.

For the good of the world and all sentient beings, I do sincerely wish that you are enlightened. The positive vibes can help a lot of beings.

But, respectfully asking,  isn't boredom and craving of attention, a sign of the ego and its need for sensation ! Shouldn't you be just content with the bliss and peace you must be feeling ?

You are right, some guru isolate themselves on a mountain because they realize that there is no one ripe enough to understand their message. 

So by teaching them of spirituality the guru would just make them more miserable, giving them a false hope to achieve something which is unachieavable. This is rude and useless.

Then there have been compromise lately when the guru knows that it will cause suffering to some people who can't achieve nirvana, but it's the price to pay to teach to those few who can benefit from its message.

In this era of the internet, the message is being spread worldwide, sometimes in distorted form (for various reason which I'll not get in to now).

Those who can benefit from it will do, others will still hear it and become unhappy knowing that they can't achieve in their present reincarnation. Others will not understand/believe the message and not become unhappy for they can't achieve it in this life. But they will achieve in their next lives so all is good in the end, we all gonna make it.

I know. I have no desire for it though. The important thing is the achievement of the first stage. The others are just like being a billionaire trying to work a boring minimum wage job to achieve the higher states.

I don't know what you're referring to by saying "infinite now" honestly. Can you link me a book or website to study it please?

The moment you enter the first stage, there is nothing but the desire to get to the last one. At sotapanna stage normally everything else is dropped and left behind to meditate and achieve the final form.  
i don’t want to say your deluded, but it sound like you are. However way it is, I can see that your intention with this post is in every way positiv. Thank you

I don't see it fading yet. Usually satory lasts for brief short periods of times, not even a day. I'm in samadi long enough to unedrstand and feel/know that it's not just a fleeting state of being (I couldn't believe it myself too in the beginning, I tested it enough to remove any doubts that it could ever fade away.

I must say this is a very original statement.

I hope your present state of samadhi does not cease. Imho, even to write something like this indicates a high spiritual degree of understanding and development.

 Thank you for the elaborate post which is reasonable and well put.

Osho told a parable of a Buddha who crossed the river (achieved nirvana), but remained there to help other cross the river. If he moves away from the river he can't help other cross the river. It's an act of compassion.

I do not understand what you were trying to say here. The higher the stage, the deeper the understanding of ones own nature and thus the nature of others, the better the teaching.  Buddha did not teach before reaching the final stage

It's the only reason we are alive today. 

Life is a training ground to achieve enlightenment.
