zero and one, on and off

I sense there is a tremendous secret right under our noses, too simple, too close to existence itself to identify clearly. Computers set the world on fire, and their simple secret is the concept of on and off. It is hard to realize that these two concepts, one on and the other off, could be so simple as they are. But they are a part of a mind boggling advance, awakening and even changing our thinking in a new way we have yet to fully appreciate. Always look to the simple for the complex and start dividing.

mirrors in our memories

The complex comes from the simple,
 the simple does not come from the complex.
There is nothing new under the sun is not technically true in the concrete but it is spiritual true in the abstract. Ancient writers were smarter than any  observers today tend to give them credit for because these lookers-on tend to fall into a hubris via the fallacy of jumping categories when they compare ancient writers to ourselves today. We cloud ourselves in our more modern technical language and perspective. But our technical heavy repetition of events organizing concrete facts to tell the spirit of the story is no more accurate than theirs. It does not matter how many or how accurately concrete facts survive in recording devices, it does not change the spiritual account of what happened. If someone does not believe what happened then, they would not believe it today either. What appears in the concrete depends on what began in the abstract world of the spirit.

a spiritual objective reminder

After we possess and inanimate object or that object becomes associated in our memory with someone, with a place or with another time, it serves as a talisman which begins a mystery for our spirit. It becomes like a word representing an abstract concept, but is itself actually a sculptured reminder of that concept. When it actually becomes or is cut off from the abstract then it is in the physical world, and is an idol. Similarly the pantheist believes in that which exists rather than the existence from which it comes.

we live in a soup of faith

Proof is relative and changes with each newly added knowledge information. If a high enough standard of proof is required then further up the ladder a decision becomes almost impossible to prove anything for total certainty. Nothing can be perfectly proved, except with a closed and limited amount of facts. We can decide we have enough proof but there will never be complete proof in evidence. If a jury takes a judge's too high standard of proof too literally, chances increase for acquittal. If even eye witnesses are suspect then what chance do we have to be technically sure of anything at all? Time also clouds our emotional reactions. Chances to misspeak or mishear are countless. We must decide what we are sure about. Now we are standing on faith.

everything is theory in the final anaysis

God is Existence. This is a definition, not a theory. A theory is a theory whether we choose to believe it or not. The big bang may be quite plausible and be very logical in the extreme but in the end everything is theory no matter how much proof we can assign to it. We never have all the facts, so must make a decision based on some measure of faith. This idea makes one postulate the likelihood we are in a spiritual soup which cannot be compared, in or to, size, form, time or distance. We must remember that the concrete all came from the abstract. The seen is from the unseen just like all complications come from the simple. There are amazing events recorded in the Bible which when a scientificly directed explanation is offered seems to render some perspectives believers and some not. This too is theory.
