Again what is with the meaning of "The Song Of Solomon", is it sexual in nature between a man and a woman or is it instead a proclaimation of love for the God Aspect.

If your heart is in the right way there is no difference between the two.

Freedom is not being control by another; compare with its opposite word: enslavement...Some religious people like to offer strange definitions of "freedom" to support manipulation
I don't believe all things in the bible but One thing the bible says is Justice (righteousness) comes from heaven and god is righteous .therefore, sin is injustice - not caring for and respecting the freedom of others.

It's sad to me that you think free will is a sad thing.There are atheists and god-believers, diversity is the nature way. No person is exactly the same, no day, and no flower... each being at least slighty different even if that difference isn't noticed at first.

In my opinion Song of Solomon is a love story between Mother Earth and Father Spirit. "He" represents consciousness and the Spirit, while "She" represents physicality and the Earth.
Father (Spirit), Mother (Earth), and Son (consciousness). The Son is where the physical and spiritual become One, or us because we have both a body and spirit. Free will is God's will. God gave us free reign of our lives.

The construct of a "free will" is false even if there was no God.Man makes a multitude of choices by their will yet none of them are free of causation.Every effect has a cause and all effects have a source that is independent of any mans will.
If there is a God (and there is) that makes God the cause of all effects since God is the creator.Nothing that has ever happened or will ever happen can be independent of the creators will.
Rex282
The mistaken notion is that would make his creations ...such as man ...robot type automatons which is false.Even though automatons would not have free wills an automaton would not have a will at all.Man does have a will however it just isn't free of causation.
Rex282
The will is the mechanism for making choices through consciousness.By the virtue of there being billions of will "mechanisms" existing all at once every "free will" would be in conflict with at minimum another free will.That alone would negate free will.
Rex282
As with many things it is a dichotomy wrapped in a conundrum.Man is under the delusion they have a freedom of will to make free choices yet that is impossible.Every choice man makes has an origin that is independent of the will.
Rex282
This is the highest obstacle to overcome.It can't be done by…the will!! Some people think it could be by enlightenment however that is also false because every glimpse of light comes from a source that is not from the self.Everything of life and existence points away from mankind.Mankind is the benefactor of life.Mankind did not will any life into existence.
Rex282
How does this relate to Song of Solomon. Yes ...it is Gods "song" of love to mankind.The song of a Father to a child.The song of a creator to his creation.Everything originates from the Father.The creation only receives.That is Love.

If you are speaking of 'freewill' as incumbered by Karma you would be correct;
vethumanbeing
unless operating under the understanding of that phenomenon (you are correcting from a past life) you can have total freewill and in FREE of past encombrances and have the concsious ability to correct them. Nice call.

I continue to think of God as an Absolute form of 1s and 0s that dreamed itself into conscious awareness. Something created something and I dont see it as a boardroom discussion. Accidental; electrons nuetrons, positrons got it together at a christmas party and by using the zerox machine TOO MANY TIMES ON ONE IDEA resulted in an animated matter form.

No .that is not what I meant at all.There is no "corrective" of a past life..everything is present even in the light of a form of "reincarnation" which is a very poor term to describe it.Man cannot lift themselves up by their own bootstraps.Everything is growth being caused by the creator.

The fact is God's nature as a"genesis" cannot be known.Our concept of beginning and end is a time /space construct.However I do agree in one sense God is a binary system and so is all of existence.
God =1... unity.
The number "1" IS..it wasn't created.It is "on".
The 1st creation was
1+0=1….in essence God created something in God's image of "1"...everything is created from this process1+1+0=1
1+1=2 2+1=3 3+2=5 5+3=8 etc for infinity.
Rex282
That is the Fibonacci sequence that everything is "created from" the unity "1". It is not mysticism or especially it is not religion.It is math.The language of God "the living word of God"…what many call spirit…and THAT is the highest hurdle that mans understanding can only be thrown over.The creator of the universes cannot be known only revealed by the creator.The foundation is hidden in plain sight in math.
bonus..the Fibonacci sequence has patterns buried inside..... watch
0,1,1,2,3,5,8,13......
011+112=123
1,2,3=Fn2,Fn3,Fn4
112+123=235
2,3,5=Fn3,F4,Fn5
123+235=358
3,5,8=Fn4,Fn5,Fn6
I've calculated a multitude of simple patterns like this from the Fibonnacci sequence and "anomalies" like this would appear.They are off the grid of "normal" math.

In my opinion God is androgynous, it is both male and female, Spirit and Body. The boy or "He" isn't seen because "He" is unseen and is the one doing the seeing. The Spirit (He) sees the Earth or body (She) through the Son which is consciousness or us.
3NL1GHT3N3D1
"He" and "She" in the story are married and their marriage brings about the Son, or life itself, consciousness. Life (Son/consciousness) is the Alpha and Omega, it is what was, is, and will continue to be. We are God (the universe/life) experiencing itself subjectively from infinite viewpoints in my opinion.

"Not really sure how all of this relates to 'The Song Of Solomon" but Im here listening and your number theory is very interesting. God is all about number sequencing (the finding of/look at the Q'uabala) or any Masonic Tradition of angles vs Angels. The Fibonacci Spiral holds many truths regarding original creation mechanics/dynamics and its (the secrets lay within) all of the measurements of the curve of the spiral."
