A saint’s triple incompleteness
A saint
(read: an identifiable unit, or, a (relatively) different bit (or bite)) is
an identifiable whole. However, the saint is merely a virtual saint until
actually identified, contacted and thereby made real, and when she becomes an
actual saint. Until she becomes an actual saint she remains incomplete (on
two counts). If a pilgrim’s goal is to become a virtual saint, then, having
achieved her goal, she remains complete, at least for an instant. A saint,
though self-identified and made self-real (to wit, self-experienced) at the actual
moment of arrival in/as her sanctuary, and which is a relative wholeness
(completion, fulfilment), still has not achieved SANCTUM, namely absolute
completion (wholeness, fulfilment, @1’ness), therefore completion without
identity (i.e. limitation). Until she achieves absolute completion she
remains incomplete, unless her goal, as pilgrim, was the achievement of
completion without identity (and which happens prior to time, space and
form). To enter
SANCTUM, absolute completion (wholeness, fulfilment), the saint must
relinquish identity (i.e. relative limitation, i.e. the relative). When she
lets go of (or cuts off) identity, and therefore relative virtual unit
status, she attains completion without identity and/or realness, namely
SANCTUM (i.e. completeness (i.e. wholeness, fulfilment) undifferentiated).
Though absolutely complete (whole, @1, full and so on) she is now incomplete
on two counts because she is missing both virtual and actual unit of identity
status. An exception is the saint who seeks undifferentiated completeness
(read: nirvana). A virtual
saint who seeks to become actual, i.e. real, thereby experiencing real
fulfilment, both relative and absolute fulfilment, has to act (i.e. contact
others as) a saint. She does that by colliding her unit of identity (i.e. her
identified wholeness, or holiness, i.e. her sanctuary) with that of another
saint or a sinner. At contact, her sanctuary (i.e. her virtual whole self)
becomes absolutely real and identifiable and is actually (i.e. really)
fulfilled. However, the
price for contact, and from which she derives full (i.e. fulfilling)
realization of her identity (i.e. self) is the loss (i.e. as fragmentation)
of her virtual sanctuary made real. This loss (indeed, sacrifice of the self)
returns the saint to pilgrim status, and when she begins a new pilgrimage to
a new virtual sanctuary (or to her previous virtual sanctuary now slightly
changed) and which, when reached, provides the fulfilment resulting from completion
(i.e. unitization, wholeness, fulfilment) of particular virtual identity. Full (wholly
fulfilling) realization of wholeness (and identity), that is to say, actual
(and because unitised, self-absolute) self-realization and self-fulfilment,
dumps the saint-become-pilgrim into triple incompleteness. The lifespan
of an actual (i.e. real rather than virtual) saint is 1 moment, i.e. one
contact. The reward for making that 1 contact and losing (sacrificing)
virtual saint status is the experience of real fulfilment with, both relative
(i.e. with identity) and (if quick) absolute.
