Death Idea of God Morality Purpose Thought Process
Journal Memory: It seems we constantly when conscious filter a maze of sensations and memories all mixed as the clouds and the sky. Memories are memories of the last memory of the memory; with perhaps even an faint echo from the original event, condition, or thought that caused the first memory. Maybe life is but a joke God played on us, letting us imagine and want the impossible, like immortality, but keeping it ever away. The Great Tease.  One Note Jim asked at the end of a MCC session on something or other, "What does God have to do with it?" I thought an answer might be in order, so I thought about it, thought about it some more and some more, as I had all my life, and, well. God is all. So how do we divide all, so can we describe it? One way is: MMM - the three big intertwined M's (in any order) Mortality, Morality, Meaning Let's apply the science of analysis to poke a little bit here and a little bit there to "see" glimpses of what God or Allah is. Mortality: Heaven, hell, samsara, reward and punishment, etc. usually tied to morality (dharma). Morality: Good, bad, evil, sin, forgiveness, mercy, duty, etc. God (samsara) rewards good and punishes sin (karma). Meaning: Purpose: behave "good" to relieve angst of death, avoid punishment of hell, ascend a level or leave samsara, etc. Souls So, what is this thing called "I" then, that won't be around much longer so must be around now? You know, I really don't know that one either, but, another who also doesn't know, I think, and a widely recognized wise man said, "Me, just me", and I might add, "just a participant and an observer", like everyone else I've ever met. No, I like "Me, just me" better. Just a lucky hitchhiker on the roads of time. Nope, "Me, just me". An entire universe different than any other universe. Nope. A spark of God in human form. No way (it may be true, I doubt it, but "no way" here means not a good answer to the question; (my-o'-my don't those value scales pop up everywhere, so, of course, it's a good answer, like all others and infinite more from each of infinite more, well 7 billion more plus dead at least, people). Justl lil' ol' temporary me, permanence measured at atomic scales, hmmm, ok, say in nanoseconds, or perhaps quanta of time or at geosphere or unisphere scales, (at those scales it r eally doesn't matter to humans, because humans don't matter at those scales, perhaps we will, again strong doubts, but not now). Something that thinks. Yeah. Wow do I ever think; so does everyone I've met. Feeling? Sure, physical and emotional. But now we are into characteristics rather than definitions, so there are infinite descriptors, though my universe only has a few at hand, and a few more at the end of a available chains of planned actions. |
