REBIRTH PG4

I said earlier that the image of the mother holding the savior child depicted a system within a System, life within Life, the all-in-All. The best way to explain this reasoning is to use the relationship between a nurturing mother and her child who is ‘living and moving and existing’ inside the womb. To begin, a fetus is dependent, physically, on its mother just as we are completely dependent after birth on the physical world that surrounds us. But what is overlooked is that we are not only completely dependent physically on the world outside of us; we are also completely dependent intellectually on the Intelligence that created and sustains that world. With that in mind, it is not a stretch to believe that the physical world outside of us is the body of God with the world of ideas (as Plato put it), also outside of us, being God’s Mind. Do we not ‘live and move and have our being’ within the Body and Mind of our Creator growing as a child does inside a womb? Think about it. When and where does the physical world begin or end? We cannot even imagine. Our minds are too limited. Therefore, in accepting the futility of answering such a question, we resort to terms such as infinity and endlessness. The same terms used when trying to relate to and describe God. Have worlds not been created and sustained from ideas for periods that time cannot measure? So, if we can think in terms of a physical world that is endless then we must also know that the intelligence which created and supports it is also endless. Aren’t we a part of the physical world and being such one with the great vastness of that world? And able to draw from the endless ocean of ideas that creates and sustains physical creation. Of course. But in observing the natural world, we see that all things and creatures are designed and produced with limits. The implication being that creature life does not have free will except in an extremely limited sense. The limited cannot supplant the unlimited. Just as the created cannot supplant the creator. We must know our place! Just look at the mess we are in today and answer these questions - First, if we had free will, where would the checks and balances be that stop us from destroying everything within our reach in short order? Furthermore, if we had free will, would that not make us limitless. Second, if limitless, would not that make us God? Third, if we, as does everything else, operate according to design, for what purpose were we made? And fourth, how does our purpose fit into the grand scheme of things? From time immemorial, people have been asking these types of questions. But, from what I see, almost all people depend on someone else to give them the answers. Regretfully, because of what I can only describe as spiritual stupidity or ignorance, questions such as these have been woefully answered by ‘theologians’ for millennia.
