The Character of God

Circular Character of God:

Does either God or Nature have free will, random potential, or pre-determined knowledge regarding a pre-set path for the unfolding of our experience of the universe? Well, it is beyond my capacity to comprehend meaningfully how God could be either all powerful or all knowing. How could God have all power and free will to choose to do anything, if God already knew everything that was to come to pass?

To me, it is only comprehensible that God may have all the power and all the knowledge that are allowed to be had, in relation to any context of the here and now. Beyond connection to information accumulated to the here and now, it may be that not even God necessarily knows what God shall or should do. It may be that possibilities "exist" in potential, which may have aspects beyond present knowledge or appreciation. For all we can appreciate, perhaps God's teleology is only to pursue happiness and fulfillment.

Regarding space, time, matter, and energy: These fundamental, measurable, physical dimensions or aspects are each defined in terms of the others (E = MC squared).  So, what would avail the unfolding possibilities for each, circularly, to be itself defined in terms of the others, with no reference to any superior, measurable substance, except something which exists, but which itself, at least in some aspects, defies being measured? That seems to relate to that which may be "God."

Obamanites lie and lie until they believe their own lying. They justify deceit in the name of their own misguided elitism. They may as well practice long and hard to become board certified convolutionists, to twist every book of common aphorisms, including scripture. Example: My salvation depends on our collective (my collectivizing?) salvation. Etc.



Obamanites seek uncontested license to deploy false moral pretexts in order to pull wool over eyes of the easily hoodwinked. Usually, logic does not support what Obamanites imply from scripture. Lacking motive or means to bribe the gullible, Conservatives sometimes briefly resort to a contrast or analysis of implicated scripture, to try to inoculate the easily misled against false light connivery, to demonstrate that a particular Progressive's assumptions are without basis.



It is often grating to watch those who generally spurn scripture, when all else fails, turn to insinuate, usually wrongly, that scripture supports their position. For a phony atheist commie, the means tend to justify the end, even if the end necessitates a false whiff of scripture. Actually, the whiff tends to get noxious, fast. Example: Jesus would necessarily welcome a commie state. It can get dangerous to allow that sort of bald faced misrepresentation to go uncontested. Just look at the proportion of Christians who have actually been hoodwinked to swallow it!

KNOW THYSELF -- of aspects of the Oneness of Consciousness, i.e., Imaginative power, Intuitive potentiality, Creative will, and Empathetic communication: Are they byproducts of Space, Time, Matter, and Energy … or are S, T, M and E byproducts of I, I, C, and E?

Why do our tests for laws of physics seem to become ever more accurate, consistent, and coherent, but never quite perfectly complete? What is the relation between: Imagination and Reality; Intuition and Potentiality; Creativity and Purposefulness; and Empathy and Morality? Does the receding incompleteness of our mathematics for explicating physics suggest something about infinite potentiality for our Consciousness?

Is the only constraint on laws of physics a requirement that they must not contradict the most accurate of the then and there combined, synchronized accumulation of Information of our various Perspectives within the overall Field of Consciousness? Can the mathematical map that seems to constrain our physical interaction be stretched to any purpose, so long as the purpose can be rationalized to the commonly measurable perception and appreciation of each and every then Perspective of Consciousness? May the apparent mathematically related laws of physics be manipulated and phased, provided only that the phasing Rationalizes and does not contradict the then and there state of accumulated Information to the experience of each and every Perspective of Consciousness?

Is it possible that, to whatever extent our experience of sharing an accumulation of real Information appears to be serviceably coherent and non-contradictory, such is only in respect that: (1) our individual apprehensions of physics are necessarily incomplete; and (2) physics itself is only an illusion that is perpetuated in respect of “spiritual inertia” of our combined Consciousness? In other words, may it be that: An aspect of Imagination of Consciousness presents its Reality; an aspect of Intuition of Consciousness presents its Potentiality; an aspect of Creative will of Consciousness presents its Purposeful synchronization of particular Perspectives; and an aspect of Empathy of Consciousness presents its Morality?

Imagination / Intuition / Will / Empathy: What are their limits?
