Blowing Up a Concept

-

 


In Heaven, I am going to have and experience countless forms of beauty. Each one unique. Each one special. Each one can go up in intensity and complexity forever. I will take the form of these countless types of beauty one at a time, or all at once.


In heaven, I am going to experience countless forms of Love. Each one unique. Each one special. Each one can go up in intensity forever. I will bathe in Oceans upon Oceans of Love.


When I get to Heaven, I will experience countless unique types of Glory. Each one special. Each one can go up in intensity and complexity forever. I will climb mountains upon mountains of Glory.


In Heaven I will experience countless forms of Liberty. Each one unique. Each one special. I will explore worlds upon worlds and realms upon realms of Liberty.


(I call this meditation "blowing up a concept." You take a random abstract concept and apply it to and multiply it by infinity, creating countless possible forms, categories, complexities, and properties of the concept. It's a fun meditation and mentally stretching.)

No One is a Lost Cause

-
     There is not a single human being on the planet who is a lost cause. There is hope for anyone and everyone who still draws breath in this world. Even into eternity and the realm of God there is always hope and mercy to be found for those who lost so much and had such misfortune or detriment fall upon them in life. Jesus is the great rescuer of the lost. The great savior of sinners and broken people. The great returner of broken dreams.       To Jesus, there is no such thing as a lost cause, a hopeless case, or an impossible situation.  Even though people lose hope sometimes and sink into despair, eternity and the Kingdom of God is a place where hope never dies and the lost are found eternally, never to be lost again.  With God, all things are possible, and all those lost are findable.       Jesus specializes in the mending broken hearts and broken dreams, and eternity is a long time to have dreams fulfilled and rest in the glory and peace of God endlessly.  He never forgets about

The Modern Hyperuranion and the Infinite Mind

-

Plato, in his development of his theory of Forms and Ideas, hypothesized the existence of a realm of perfect forms or perfect ideas, of which all things in our realm are imperfect "imitations" of. He called this place the Hyperuranion, which in Greek meant "the place beyond Heaven." In his mind, the hyperuranion was higher than the gods. The gods themselves getting their divinity from this realm.     The hyperuranion would, by Plato's account, be the only realm that is truly real, and the reality of the forms and ideas there would be perfect and absolute.     Pertaining to my understanding of existence and my views on its complexity and scope, my take on the hyperuranion accounts for my view of existence having a Creator. Last december, I hashed out a hypothesis on a hierarchy of existence that included my view on what the foundational pillars of an infinite existence would be. These pillars, in order of importance, were the mind, ideas, forms, space, time, ener

Apocatastasis

  The restoration of all things. A very enticing and optimistic theological concept. Probably more so than any other Christian based concept I've encountered.  In short, apocatastasis is the idea that God loves ALL of His creation and His subjects so much that at some point He is going to restore it back to a state of grace, wholeness, and perfection. He sees His creation as too valuable to destroy and knows there is more glory in restoring it than annihilating it.  Permanent condemnation is unacceptable because of how valuable all consciousness is, being a condensed focal point where the universe can experience itself through and be beared host to by a conscious awareness. Since a mind bears host to existence and reality in general, regardless of the extent of knowledge of a person, within ourselves we inherit the value of the universe in our being because of our isolated awareness of it. On top of that, since we are created in God's image and likeness, we mirror the value of
