Lex Hixon: To me, there is a problem when people talk about the theistic approach as being a rung of a ladder that you climb up beyond, because it seems to put a hierarchy there, where theism is on a more primitive level, and if you see beyond it, then you see the forms of God dissolve and disappear. But for St. Francis, or for Mother Teresa, the Christ was not dissolving and disappearing.

Ram Dass: I understand that. But I like to conceive of it much more as a circle, where you go through dualism into a non-dualistic relationship to God, and then you come back to functioning in dualism, seeing God everywhere, but recognizing that you and God are in a relationship that isn’t seeable or knowable, but is only “be-able.” In other words, I see that both of them exist simultaneously. It’s not a hierarchy. It’s merely a temporal ordering, okay?
