RE: The God of Physics

in #pantheism7 years ago

Could it be possible that the personification of the concept of "God" comes from a lack of understanding of forces of energy greater than ourselves?

Is it possible that God is these forces (or laws) you speak of and the anthropomorphism of the concept is only means to understand a cause?

Could the religious worship of such forces be a perversion of greater understanding by the profane? (A great example of this is the handshake. We see successful people shaking hands and assume it is a customary greeting. As such, all common folk have adopted this, while to those 'in the know' it is a way to identify fellow associates secretly.) Possibly some aspect of religious practice is missing, including the actual purpose of such rituals.

Sort:  

Is it possible? Of course. Everything is possible. However, some things are more likely than others, and each of us can see but a fraction of what is. As things are variously dependent on other things, such as photons being emitted by sources, we can know that if one thing is known, things it is dependent on for it's existence must therefore also exist - even though we don't know them directly.

Profanity exists without a doubt. Consider then, that profanity can only exist as perversion of the sacred, and the existence of profanity is dependent on the existence of what is sacrosanct.

In my considerations of the above, I have chosen to be aware of the profane, in order to be able to guard against it, but to delve intentionally and as deeply as possible into the sacred, because that is what I personally seek.

May you find it everywhere you look, because it is there.

Thanks!
