I Am that I Am: not whatcha do but the way thatcha do it

not whatcha do but the way thatcha do it

Art is in the business of selling emotion and it does this by the "way" it accomplishes this. Art is not any subject but is every verb. As the lyrics say, art is not whatcha do but the way thatcha do it. It has absolutely nothing central to do with recreating reality. Art is the spirit of the matter, any matter, and concrete matter does not matter to the spirit. Before one can generate any emotion they must first think how they want to experience their thinking. Very few it sometimes seems know how to think. They believe thinking is without effort and just happens, like voiding after a meal. Consequently, as many in college are so often trained, their thinking mirrors some else's thinking and comes out little more than the consensus opinions of others. Then this, not too strangely enough, thinking also becomes thinking for others, once removed themselves. We can trace this similar but larger stream back to the at least the medieval church where this emotional starvation is discussed in today's Chapel posting entry as well as in Specific Theory.

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.
