God… can only exist as a developed abstract concept; one external to humanity but directly
relevant to humanity; one able to respond & remain relevant to changing conditions & levels of
development.
~We are~ the centre of the known universe & central to any known God.
Whilst ultimately unknowable, it must be possible to know Him to the extent people need to
know His will so they can live within it at any current time. He can only be known through us;
by interior communication.
……………………………..
To deal with these; one at a time.
Nature & universe are either indifferent or have a level of consciousness so low it cannot interact
with man. Neither share our existential concerns, nor our conceptual capacities. Neither nature
or universe can be our God.
Man is error prone & fallible, also sinful, so cannot be his own God. This disqualifies Pharaoh,
Parliament/s, the UN, Asian Emperors, Confucius & myself from being God.
Thus God can only be a developed abstract concept. Developed; as man is a developing
species anything undeveloped would not serve. As a higher being who shares mans existential
concerns & conceptual capacities; one who shares our desire the human experiment be
meaningful, creditworthy & exist for a purpose; cannot exist in any physical or material form.
He can only be an abstract concept. As a physical or material purity which guides human affairs
is not a possible entity; He exists as an external but directly relevant abstract concept.
The universe is only known through us as we experience it through the unique prism of this
biosphere. Without us there would still be a universe, but there would be no ~known~ universe;
nor any conscious body of developed knowledge that we call science.
God is only known through us as we perceive Him through the prism of this biosphere. Without
us there would still be a creative force within the universe, but there would be no ~known~ God
(creator) & no conscious body of developed knowledge we call theology.
We are the centre of the known universe, the sun the moon & the stars revolve around the earth.
That is the immutable truth of theology. As universe & God can only ever be known through us,
this truth is held immutable, invariable & eternal.
Thus God can only have His centrality & purpose in the humanity through which He is known.
Further, He & we can only communicate through our interior selves. The Holy Spirit must
reserve a frequency exclusive to itself, in order to distinguish from the many other interior voices
we are subject to. ~My sheep know my voice~ Lesson, tune in to the right frequency.
