My mind is racing around ideas
of one of the most contingent lines of the Bible,
“Man was made in the image of God.”
After reading J.L. Mackie’s Evil and Omnipotence and grasping parts of understanding the #paradoxofomnipotence I cannot help but consider the major change this view takes.
I’m trying to put it altogether but it’s not there yet, and I feel a door opening.
Being outside,
peeking in,
it’s like being unsure if you might disturb a certain peace that’s in existence, but knowingly feeling that if you walk in, understand, share in a built way you can create a new peace.
The idea that became God is a way to explain our existence.
But to me it is rather much more of a scientific happening,
The Big Bang or possibly another theory we have not yet discovered –
something different than a man in the sky awaiting to judge us all;
for we think way too highly of ourselves.
Look to the human, for if we were made in the image of God, the evidence of this is not there.
God is not in the devastation and anger we experience today.
The simplicity of what God was, what religion is, and what we all seek.
Our intellect cannot solve this puzzle by itself.
Originally,
we could not once explain birth, we could not once explain disease –
we could not explain how our limited sight sees perspective or illusions that makes a man appear on water, we could not explain the wrong doings of others that cause harm – but we need to find resolution, the completeness of understanding,
we need to know the end of the story.
We seek to understand and resolve the meaning of life and our existence.
Resolving issues of death – how our own selves see The End and do not wish it upon ourselves.
We want to continue.
And we always continue.
All of those lost continue.
For the continuum has been born on each of our births and the death of others. Death is not an end but a reconstruction. In which what you harbor inside, the creation of positive energy or negative, continues. With or without an attached body.
There’s many things in which we fight or accept daily, whether it be our mind or the minds of others tampering or supporting what beliefs we hold true as morals and values.
And this is not a complete thought but a place to start.
