Which would you choose, and why?

Edit: I can't change the thread title, but if any would prefer the Sublime, let's say that would also be a valid choice in this thread.

is the sublime a substitute for the pure or the absolute?

They are one and the same.

Why? Because you can't have one without the other.

No, which is why I belatedly included it as a third possible preference.

But if you have one and the other, doesn't that clearly indicate they are not the same?

I appreciate that you have answered the question as posed, which is such a rarity on the internet, as I'm sure you well know. Thank you for that.

On my side, among these arbitrary three choices I think I would prefer the Absolute because it seems like that might in a roundabout way be the most comprehensive and/or all-inclusive -- although of course, for someone born under Neptune, the Sublime does have its own special appeal.

As for the Pure -- and not to disparage your choice -- from my POV purity cults might have done more harm than good in human history. Could be wrong, though.

The terms are different, but the essence of each contributes to the making of one complete inextricably linked whole.
