Important it is, I am taught, to identify with the view (be it), not the point of view, (did it)

Point of view we all have. The view is unknowable. The creation is division, as though, of the one, and thus view is lost, as though, due to identifying with the point of view.

View points vying for the best view leads to theology.

Who is the creator when no creation is? Can the actor, (did it) , know her next part (be it)? Most of us are extras in the bigger point of view. Point of view is maybe-maybe. View is can never not-be.

I fall back to the question, "can the unchangeable ,total, whole exist as reality (view), if a separate partial changing reality exists as well (point of view)?

If all is the limitless-truth, no need for parts and divisions and individual identities.
