born that way
Only chaps around the far back table once frequented by Danny Silkglass come in on Saturday, so I approached with the idea to cheer myself up as much as them. Danny's closest friend Sam Hill had lost his hilarity since Danny passed, and could use a little stirring up I thought. Early as usual, he was quite laid back. His view was gold, still the only safe haven, needed to be watched for the next leg up and prices on the Dow were lining up to go down another leg. Humdrum, so what is new I prodded? No utilities? A little dig on my part, marking the belated 90s decade's end of our high growth days as it were. Making sure money always boring he countered with his normal mantra. The more excitement the more fool hearty, amateur guy adding, haven't made a long trade in more than a month. That was serious news to me, so how is your shorting I asked, you must have a good line built up on that? Still sounding more overcast than usual, closed them out on the first dead cat bounce and retired my short money. Too old to short. So in a final attempt to get some fireworks I tried politics. Who should win the nomination? Cain! he shot back. What a great match up! The great partisan world series of the century. Just politics on the line! He seemed to be lighting up, so, to keep the fire going I risked digging deeper, what is your explanation why we are all, except maybe McCain, either left or right? Born that way he said. And that was that fizzle. It was a tiresome month to be brutal about it.
The title of this blog, God is the Spiritual Personification of Existence, is based on the first definition perception of ancient writers in the dawn of our known history.
Today's Supreme Being is not the original definition. First report accepted was God defined Himself as Existence. "I am that I am." He did not create existence, He is the fountainhead of Existence. Therefore, God is not only understood to be a Spirit, but also as the spiritual 'personification' of existence. This is a definition, not a theory.
There are both concrete and abstract forces, the seen and the unseen, such as gravity. There are spirits in bottles, spirits in words, spirits in us. The spirit animates everything, from gravity to emotion, as well as semantically. This blog is about defining the usually undefined term God, not religion, but what is meant by the term God.
There is one blog touching on religion, Church and Faith Pulpit Rock, about Christian atheism found in many churches, which themselves quite often have less to do with God or even religion for that matter, than they do with social entertainment.
The blog linked below, Specific Theory of Existence, takes us to essay attempts suggested by former atheists who are sensitive to atheist thought. They are exploring views relating to seen and unseen physics, the known unknown, with the unknown not yet known.
Other blogs, like Memory Stones about cemeteries, touch on other subjects of passing interest. That link and others can be found below. They are hosted by Spencer Corkum for the Sunset Strollers and the QuokeBlokes. They are not carved in 'stone' but may be continuously edited and updated. Davin Paralee, representing the Paraclete, is Editor in Charge.
All things seen come from the unseen and will return there. Since we know so little of all that can be known, in order to make a decision now it must be made in faith because we are deciding without all the facts. There are those who wish to survive the falling away of the body and those who desire slipping into oblivion which is a destruction of that which existed. This too is a spirit and cannot die.
Generalities speak to generalities and specifics to specifics. To intertwine the two is jumping categories, and a fallacy in logic.
An example of what a man says is an illustration of his argument, but it is not proof.
