unseen symbols of meaning
There is quite a contingent of people who cannot think about anything at all in the abstract, let alone stumble over it. Everything must always be seen to be believed. Even, surprisingly so, someone like an actual theoretical physicist let it slip out that he would need proof of an abstract event, and see it before he could believe it. He on the other hand does not require he see an entire planet he cannot see to deduce there is actually there something affecting the orbit of a body he can see. One needs a greater dose of logic than that to deal with the abstract. Usually in the religious world anyone who cannot strongly relate to the abstract world of the spiritual is at an intellectual handicap, falling victim to all kinds of nonsense, leading at best nowhere. An apparent fact, a quite apparent fact in fact, is that what we see is colored by our angle of perception, let alone by filters which highlight elements differently affording startlingly beautiful views. What then about the abstract? Appearances can not only be deceiving, but they can be downright misleading. Why are there two radically different views of the abstract political interactions between peoples like those who think in an individual mode and others who think in the group mode? Any single viewpoint an individual-view person says expresses is predictive of a constellation of seemingly unrelated viewpoints. Yet to connect the dots is too much of an effort to even learn about this phenomenon, despite the stakes being so high. This failure of so many to think in the abstract has serious life and death, physically concrete consequences for our collective well being and the future growth of mankind.
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.
