the fluid dynamics of fluctuating prices
Everything posted on these Sunset Stroller blogs the posters believe, but after it is posted it is subject proofreading, editing, and revising, wherein this process the ideas posted might grow, change, qualify, or retreat, even improbably indefinitely. So we know what the poster believed when the ideas were expressed or changed, but the one thing you are sure of, you are never sure whether or not the poster still believes it. This is time, and this is why it is not prudent for us to recommend stocks since it is the same with prices on the exchange. If you want absolute proof the relative worth of a share you are going to have to nail jello to a tree first. Sure, someone just paid a certain price but you do not know what the next person will pay. It is a probability but it is not proof anyone will pay it. This is why prices fluctuate, no one is sure what the value is and we will never know what it is worth because it is always the next price as it is transacted which fades into the past quickly. This is true of everything dynamic which connects us to the future. Only the static can nail jello to a tree but it is always in the past. So the captured static, once true, is no longer so exactly or reliably true as awareness of the dynamic creeps into our outlook. Today technological advances in communicative devices are bringing our perceptions into the dynamic world more violently than previously when the static reigned more secure. The change from the perfect typewriter, the IBM Selectric is a concrete example of this. But then the dynamic computer changed that perception as the computer jumped us out of the static world. Everything we do has an effect on our reflexes and it is not easy to change long term repetitive expectations. The price of perfection is the same for specializing, a limitation of awareness reducing our view. If the devices are going to change us, how will we change what, the devices? Most people just go on, without thinking about it and they lose a tool to desirably change themselves in the abstract while they attempt to change their concrete world immediately around them. Subtleties always evade the less nimble thinkers. The devil in the details is always pulling their chain as they fret about their environment they chained themselves to tripping them up.
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.
