buying those greedy banks
It is not that we need new ideas but that we need to stop having old ideas, Edwin Land. I have a long time friend who graduated from Polaroid, that is, retired with an actual pension perhaps we should say. He often liked to make fun of IBM, since he did not own the stock after it got away from him probably. His view was they (IBM) get into their meetings and concur with one another. They never agreed they concurred or non concurred. These were the days when it was, childishly it has to be said now, thought to be hired by IBM was a lifetime job. One of the old ideas he thought we could do without is politically oriented systems rooted in group think. Joining in I contributed some math to provide a little dignity to the idea so I said something like whenever people get together to think all exceptional ideas are reduced by dividing the number of people involved into their conclusions. He rode right around my comment, actually group thinking is especially slow, lacking any responsibilities, and since it is disconnected can appear amusingly outlandish at times. The truth can be tiresome to those who cannot grasp it, like the old saying whether up to heaven or down to hell, he travels fastest who travels alone. Well he is entitled as they say to his entitlement but just for myself I wish all those who prattle along about about those greedy banks would buy their stocks and make themselves a thrillion billion. Meanwhile maybe it is true after all, those old socialist advocates in the 1800s should've directed their concentration on themselves instead of the rest of us. We might not have Dodd-Frank exploding in the faces of poor people today.
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.
