I am new to this discussion forum and have not studied all of the
discourses and have a few questions.
1) have you guys contemplated the various recorded creation myths of
the world and do you think that in any way has relevancy to the quest?
2) I see that at least one person has studied ancient thought
(Plotinus) and consequently the theory of emanation. Can a theory of a
primary etherealized matter, a first matter of the universe, which may
or may not be the stuff of dreams or mind (as some view it), be
blended with a type of big bang theory. Some take the cyclical theory
of the ancients and blend it with big bang theory. Theories root
meaning is "to view"... what do you guy's think of this mental view
and do you believe that something like it could be possible to:
A primary "spiritual big bang" or expansion, or emanation...... of a
rarefied, subtle, etherealized, sublimated form of matter..... in some
way, perhaps an aspect of it, condensing or materializing and then
perhaps compacting and contracting into a multiplicity of intermediary
points that enact or give rise to the process we call the physical
"big bangs" of the empricical universe or multiverses. Something like
that, perhaps some one can articulate that possibility much more
elaborately and reasonably.
3) What do you guy's believe the place of this power, force, energy,
feeling, experience of love has. If you look at your lives and the
literary inheritance, you may see that some people at some times, have
had extraordinary experiences of universal love, of a love for there
total experience, of all the nature and animals and humans and things
they perceive, or a feeling of vast and expansive love for humanity
and life which they call peak experiences and the highlights of there
life, the most important and greatest moments. What place does love
have in the movement of any theoretical system or supersystem. What do
we say about love?
Let us not forget to draw a deep line between belief and knowledge.
