The Primacy of Life

When I was a child, I spoke and thought and reasoned as a child. But when I grew up, I put away childish things. Now we see things imperfectly as in a cloudy mirror, but then we will see everything with perfect clarity.

—1 Corinthians 13:11-12

When our science honors Life, our culture will honor Life.

But when our science ignores itself and takes Life for granted, it breeds a culture that takes Life for granted.

Today's science is lost in self-denial: it cannot conceive of itself. It is innocent, superficial, naïve, without substance.

With no concept of Life, and no concept of Man, it cannot see that Life is the world-creating force. That Mind is the technology of Creation. That evolution is the construction of the embodied world. And that it is ready for inauguration.

Existential Shame II

And the man and his wife were both naked and were not ashamed.

—Genesis 2:25

Before the Fall, Adam and Eve were not ashamed because they did not yet have the question, but when "their eyes were opened" (Genesis 3:7), they immediately covered themselves.

Shame is covering up what we cannot account for, avoiding a question for which we do not have an answer.

Shame is running from our problems, disowning our weaknesses, denying our faults. Indeed, trying to hide from our Source.

In the future, we will again have no shame. But not because we do not have the question—because we will have the answer.

The Theory of Everything

Then will I return to the people a pure language.

—Zephaniah 3:9

The theory of everything will be self-explanatory. It will be self-evident—by definition, it will account for itself. It will be self-aware.

It will not be a materialist theory because materialism is not self-aware. It will be a living, breathing theory that bows to nothing but Life.

It will not just unify the sciences. It will sew together all areas of knowledge with all spheres of life: history, morality, economics, law, language, technology, education, art, personal growth, parenting, health, and all the other good stuff.

A true understanding of existence, it will talk about compassion. It will talk about responsibility. It will talk about gratitude and discipline, and it will talk about freedom.

An effective theory of nature, from the inside out.

The complete understanding, the Promised Land, the final revelation of the Truth about the world and Man. The coming kingdom, the garden of delights, from which we were expelled as sinners, but will return as Kings.

Questions and Answers

They have all turned aside, they have together become corrupt;
There is none who does good, no, not one.

—Psalm 14:3

Why does our global society ignore that its ultimate goal is truth?

Why does our notion of reality leave out the fact that something breathes?

Why do our schools not teach our children that they are each a world-conception?

Why does our science obviate that there's an organic visual image inside every human being?

Why do our politics, media, textbooks and authorities ignore that all aggression comes from fear?

Why does our culture have no concept of the importance of silence, meditating, and digesting daily stimuli?

Why do our interpersonal, international, interracial and interfaith relations tend to forget that our common hope and destiny is unity?

Why are most people oblivious to the fact that all social, economic, and political problems are only the symptoms of our psychology?

Because our science is blind, our knowledge is ignorant, our belief system flawed.

Religious Science or Scientific Religion?

A physical scientist does not introduce awareness (sensation or perception) into his theories, and having thus removed the mind from nature, he cannot expect to find it there.

—Erwin Schrödinger, Mind and Matter

Whenever a belief system ignores the question, the problem, the miracle of human perception, it ignores life, denies existence, and abdicates self-awareness—the very thing which makes us human.

For any science and philosophy, the question is not whether reality is in-dependent or not of our perception. The question is why we should be perceiving at all in the first place.

And wondering about it too.

This is the human question, the meaning of self-awareness—this is what science must now answer.

And then it will become what it has always sought to be.
