we shall see when the night comes

Time is money. This old clock
cost used, one dollar in 1936. |
As we entered the restaurant, even as I was looking forward to the evening, I had this persuasive feeling it was all over going in and all of a sudden I was coming out again. I could recall the entire supper, all the talk, the people we dined with, but it went so quick. My sense of time must be changing even as I trust my watch is not. Something about time suggests an illusion. Even physicists, well at least one of my knowledge, came to that conclusion. Of course, none of them know what time actually is. If physicists with their atomic clocks cannot agree on what time is, this absence of knowledge of what we know, gives us knowledge of what we do not know. This knowledge absence suggests a spiritual state where time is also absent because time needs a comparative state to exist. The concept of eternity has been hung in the heart of man for a longer time than can be determined. Since time seems only to exist in comparative states, apparently there are no comparative states in the spiritual unseen world from which everything we deal with in the concrete comes. Even ignorance can be informative just as knowledge is often misinterpreted. A healthy respect for one's ignorance is a wise thing. It looks now as if my comparative states are changing my internal clock to a different daylight savings time. When the night comes and we shall see.
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.
