Hi Ken and other unmoderated squaddies,
"A Western Omnipotent God"
Hmmmmm.......Using the idea of a mirror plane, we can admit that the Western
God is mostly a projection of what we ourselves think God is like. Sort of
like looking at God through a one-way mirror- except we are on the
reflective side of the mirror and so we see only ourselves. In other words
we make god in our image- whereas the reality is that God is making us in
His image. God exists, but not as we often project Him.
So where does Quality fit in?
There are two main aspects to Quality: Truth and Beauty, symbolised by Man
and Woman. But as Keats observed: "Beauty is truth, truth beauty."
If one imagines an essence of God entering the material world, then the best
path for that essence to return to the Godhead is the path of Quality, the
path of optimum truth and beauty.
Quality is creation's path back to God.
Whaddya reckon?
love
Fintan
