THE BATTLE FOR MODeRN 1923

work in progress

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.
