path deep in the memorial park
While walking along the Starlight Path after sunset I often chance upon a fellow stroller and we again gradually drifted into a discussion about the future. He was saying, since everything in the seen world comes from the unseen world, too bad most people pay no attention to it. I agreed, they think little about the effect it has and will have on their existence. If I do not like things as they are or want better things I have to go to the unseen world, the spiritual world of decision making. This is a world where I do not have, nor will I ever have, all the facts needed to decide what to believe. Even then, he interrupted, you cannot decide to believe something you cannot yet believe and the proof is in that pudding. We may be able to fly in our dreams, which gives us an idea of the future for those with the actual will to believe, but that is too far usefully beyond our spirit now. Those who are able to tap into their spiritual selves and change things have been enormously successful. In this arena we have to examine such personal power words as the will. Most people do not want to deal with abstractions and therefore must make do with the concrete, so things just happen to them. Choosing to happen to is different form being happened to. I've seen people who are on oxygen take off their tubes and light up a cigarette. Long after we parted I wondered if we'd said goodbye.
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.
