fumbling imaginations

Arthur Koestler, in selecting his theme for the Sleepwalkers, felt the great astronomers of the past made their discoveries as much by fumbling their way through imagination and intuition as by experiments in a laboratory. This idea of intuition suggests a source. A source that is by definition within existence and comes from out of existence, revealing imaginations about the source of those imaginations through us. It is as though we were created to study existence. This same observation has been over heard in other contexts, made by scientists studying the atom. It all fits together someway as yet not fully known, as when Kepler discovered God was a mathematician and that the harmony of the spheres was a mathematical harmony.

simple and the complex

Every discipline has it's own lingo, from the street loiterers to the tenured professors wandering in the academic pasture. This lingo is designed to keep outsiders out and insiders in. Physicists of all stripes use words that if defined naturally and without obtuse elaborations would make access to their debates open rather than closed as they prefer. One really only needs a simple dictionary to their slang. It is a distinct possibility these elaborate concepts are more art than anything else. If something is too complex it is probably orbiting out of useful sight. The complex comes from the simple. It is the simple that is difficult, the complex is easy as a juggler's dream. 

binaries in prediction

In order to achieve a direction in any force it is necessary, it appears, to establish a binary model to encircle the effort. This is basic and the unseen spiritual aspect of this theory is garnered from the observed idea of any subject of any size and power effecting or being effected by another similar entity. Since this model is present in so man instances we encounter, it might be concluded that the same model can be used in prediction as well as in establishing an understanding of the entities of our concern. To be continued....

ballast seeking balance

Whatever we present outside we are generally to varying degrees are the opposite deep inside. The reason this is true is because we can not help but speak from our own perspectives and for our own benefit. The reason that is true is because the incentive to speak is always to maintain a balance between our spirit within and our presentation of self without so that we will not sink. This is a theory in consideration.

the abstraction distraction

There are many who cannot think in terms of abstractions, for them their attraction is for the concrete they can see feel and touch. This inability to focus on our spiritual nature results in some really odd positions that seem natural and even logical from their limited perspective in the present. The future really does not seem of great concern if one cannot project abstractions from the more concrete present connexions. The religious nature of man is designed to prepare us for a future with many facts missing. These facts as they become known are replaced by the awareness of a growing number of facts we do not yet understand at all, let alone fully. The natural is difficult enough for it to embrace everything that is known already. The super nature of supernatural is not yet understood anywhere near completely, but we have hints hovering all around us. So then it is for these people, easy to believe in the supernatural ability of Christ to rise from the dead. But it is far too cumbersome for them to realize anyone could by their own faith in a Christ who could accomplish this, also themselves have the faith to believe they could do anything much at all, much less tap into that power that could heal anyone or cast a mountain into the sea. Without this ability to ignore limitations and venture into the unknown, the future is postponed until they might do it accidentally. Accidentally connected events have resulted in some great leaps ahead in our understanding of the spiritual that give us advantages in the concrete. These accidents come out of planned efforts, they do not just pop up out of nowhere as an unplanned evolutionary view might appear to magically materialize from the spirit. There are no limitations to our roving darting thoughts, as we similarly see reflected in the limitless galaxies of an expanding universe. Just because I do not understand the algebra of something does not mean it is not understandable. If I persist then persistance alone propells me forward. Faith persists. Persistance is the backbone of faith.

God is a Person by definition

God must be personalized in our perceiving minds before we can comprehend or relate with meaning to God as Existence since Existence is a Spirit, not what we see, from the unseen or not. All spirits have a body or seek a body in order to be objectified so they can execute their spiritual nature. You can tell them by their fruits. This is a definition of our terms, neither a theory nor a proof. Since  we must make decisions without all the facts we must have faith in something in order to act or have a position in the matter. Even no position is a position. The link in the sidebar, God is Existence, elaborates these ideas and was edited and expanded today. 

dreams in the doorway

The ancients wrote asking why God hung eternity in their hearts? Why is it we conceive of such things? A university research spokesman once commented to the affect that it seemed to him as if he was brought into creation to study the intricate structures of himself by those same intricate structures themselves. The atoms were studying the atom to figure out what the story was with the atoms. Eternity, survival, well being, and knowledge of existence seem to be hung in many of our hearts by the very Existence that brought us, each individually, into existence. These haunting thoughts do not come from nothing, so why is the something that gives birth to such thoughts even in our consciousness at all? It seems that there may be a model for our future presented to us in the nature of dreams that could introduce us to the next dramatic stage in our future. Dreams may be the doorway to that future. Why do we dream? Why do we even sleep? What is this constant rehearsal about? Why do dreams seem so real when we experience them but quite unreal when we awake from them? All human beings are also dream beings. Dreaming ties all mankind together, Jack Kerouac. These are a few of the questions that might be something worthwhile exploring, worthwhile turning our subconscious loose in a wide random search for meaning.  

The problem of evil

Everything seems to exist in a comparative state. Good vs evil, is just the beginning. One could go on forever identifying examples of comparative states. Speed vs light, vs sound, vs something else, but the origin of evil is different in that oblivion exists as an absence of existence. Therefore while it can happen and one can experience it, it is being experienced as a separation from existence. That is one of the hells of oblivion, it cannot actually ever be reached.

Dietrich Bonhoeffer

A God who let us prove his existence would be an idol.

God exists by definition

Speaking further, the Spirit of Existence is not what is caused to exist, Existence is the Spirit of what causes to exist what exists. Existence always existed. Existence that exists outside time is normally capitalized for clarity, because of this. Time is a concept that can only exist in a comparative state. The spirit creates it's own time, forms and distances since by themselves time, form, and distance do not exist spiritually because they must first come from the abstract and then appear in the concrete. In other words, they are manifested from the spirit. The universe appears to expand forever because the spirit is not restricted and does not relate to distance outside its' own created distances. Form is a manifestation of the spirit which can be seen in the spirit but not from outside the spirit as it takes place in the concrete which is outside the spirit. Even though negative spirits desire oblivion and may achieve it, oblivion could exist in an anti-state similar to the concept of black holes.
