  1. There's an element of infinity in a pretzel. Similarly all religions have an element of infinity that connects them. Btw, historically a pretzel was a symbol of hands being in a prayer position and three circles represented holy trinity. It originated with an Italian Christian monk giving "pretiolas" or "little gifts" to children for memorizing prayers. You could say a pretzel is a symbol of prayer, love and infinity all in one. Beautiful. Just don't take it too seriously. It's just a fun little comparison.
  2. The only way to do Father's work is by surrendering to his will. I guess that's how I would combine these two ideas. Twisting all religions into a single pretzel is my favorite thing to do, haha. You get a nice infinity simbol aswell 🥨
  3. I wasn't contradicting that. I was complimenting it. It is their profound surrender to God's will (natural flow of Dao) that makes them leaders. Paradoxically so. To echo Dao De Jing: "So the last will be first, and the first will be last" Matthew 19:30 "Whoever exalts himself will be humbled, and whoever humbles himself will be exalted." Matthew 23:12: Yes, love. No contradiction here either. My motive was to wish you Merry Christmas. 🌟🙏
  4. When you're consumed by God, you become God aswell. When you submit to God's will which is Love, you become That. It's called enlightenment. "That whereby the rivers and seas are able to receive the homage and tribute of all the valley streams, is their skill in being lower than they; it is thus that they are the kings of them all." "Why is the sea king of a hundred streams? Because it lies below them." The thing to understand is that a prophet himself is a biggest sheep of all. That's what gives him his kingship.
