Everything
that we experience on earth comes to us as a knowledge claim (not necessarily
accurate knowledge) and in these forms come the numerous kinds systems that by
their nature make arguments about what the truth about meaning is or who God is.
These
arguments about belief come to us with their various claims. They are all
dependent on a multiplicity of organized, structured, distinct ideas put
together persuasively over time and location that are influential on all thought
in different ways. These ideas are passed down across time after moving through
the generations and after being continuously and persuasively shared to whoever
hears them, regardless what the claims are, wherever anyone in the world is who
hear them.
Therefore
what this really means for us is that thought regularly effects many individuals
unfairly. If only one claim of a belief is true because of this only some of the
people in the world can hear that specific belief and its specific thought that
is said to be the real truth.
The
reason that thought effects us unfairly like this is because by these terms we
can’t all possibly embrace the same ideas about the truth. If therefore we can’t
just all know the “same” and supposedly the “right ideas” by any use of our
will what then does that mean. If all of us are not part of an experience where
a “freedom of will” is universally available across earth to us all then who
gets the ability to recognize by the use of an accurate free will truth and who
doesn’t get that free will to know “truth” in the wider world.
Are
these terms not uneven and arbitrary. Also to be considered then because of
these assumptions we might draw too easily is the idea God is blotting out
entire regions from His love. Are such assumptions not really a gross distortion
of the love that He has for us all everywhere in the world.
It seems
we are forced very simply to think that by our personal using of a will toward
our own belief that us knowing what we know correctly simply satisfies our own
eternal future alone and therefore is personally satisfactory and conscionable
despite all other peoples eternal future in question all over the planet
elsewhere.
Yet how
can someone else simply arrive at the same decision we do in India or Pakistan
or China by any use of a will. Is this an inability on our part therefore to
fairly decide the worth of other people in God’s eyes. Despite when our
illusions reassure ourselves in our own faith communities that such thinking is
all justifiable and that others everywhere our held to account by our own
scriptures how reasonable is it to think this way.
Ideas,
claims, religious systems, or atheist accounts of reality, they all guide our
thoughts in our place in time by persuasively leading us through history to the
present day. We are easily lead by one argument of these persuasions in one form
or another. The many numerous accounts of reality argue out for us, we the
imperfect interpreters of truth, us the imperfect human beings, the numerous
arguments of supposed truth. By these truth claims in our vulnerability we “all
of us everywhere” are easily won over and shaped into various kinds of beliefs
using this magical “free will” to embrace compelling evidence of “numerous”
kinds of belief in various cultures.
What the
reality really is that “supposedly” these ideas clearly decide for us inevitably
is very questionable. If our vulnerable impressionable and interpretative
capacity is a terribly flawed way of interpreting truth, where commonly, not
uncommonly, we can’t accurately decipher one way over another, good from evil,
truth from falsehood, then what we then will embrace is then chosen often
naively.
After we
are forced to choose out of this chaos of ideas that certain guiding idea, that
is usually just the doctrine and system of thought present in our immediate
location, then that particular thinking then will presumably decide for all of
us our future. No matter if we have it right or wrong, what destiny will
ultimately be decided for us in where we will end up with God or without God
forever we often think is decided in this way.
This terrifying human construct of hope, or lack there of hope, is so
scary, arbitrary and even grossly unfair to billions of simplistic people on
earth though. By it’s terms it arrives to us impressionable minds driving our
experiences in hopelessly disorganized terms leaving it up to us, the world’s
people, to decide requiring us to choose correctly or incorrectly in a chaotic
world and once decided on a truth to distance ourselves from others truth.
For people thoughts, through different ideas that appear in so many varied
forms, our arguments that appear as claims to what the truth is and appear in so
many different ways. This means that for so many people truths terms, whoever
has the truth among us, are really terms of “truth” that offer only some people
hope, by the strict archaic nature of the terms, and only despair inevitably for
the rest of the world.
If God is love however, which is how I choose to see God, then in spite of
ideology, despite all people by necessity being aligned to the accurate belief,
what If ultimately God’s plan exceeds such limitations and really offers
understanding and compassion to the other religions. As a Being of transcendent
love might He God more fairly then we can foresee offer the world a better hope
then our terms allow. Might Gods mercy extend beyond the condemnation fueled
judges of this worlds knowledge.
If the knower of all consciousness, of all states of mind; as the reader of
all interior lives meaning all our thoughts; as the compassionate investor in
others that we either have knowledge of, or don’t have knowledge of; if He
really knows us people what might He on His terms really end up meaning for us
in our future.
That Being of goodness and perfect love is why we're here some think , is
why we get to know and love people, why we have experiences and He is the reason
for many that we hope that we'll see our loved ones again.
Beyond our darkest anxieties, our worst state of skepticism, in our
sometimes inability to see hope in life, what if eventually what will be meeting
us after this life is over will be the fullest and grandest possible state of
experience beyond measurement. What if that experience for us is a future where
what we now see in part as good on earth is really only a foretaste of an
relinquished geniuses existing beyond our imaginations ability to predict
because out there what there is God hasn’t given us the complete ability to
envision by reading His mind.
Even If Heaven is simply a reordering of the natural world, which it is far
more then that, in a way where we then see life in more hospitable terms. Even
if Heaven seen in this way, as a reordering of the natural world, can be seen as
a kinder gentler nature, a painless, deathless, worry free existence free from
melancholy, gloom, disappointment, mistreatment or boredom. What’s seen as a
glimpse of Heaven in this way in eventuality will end up being a fathomlessly
far better and greater state of existence then merely the earth simply improved.
Heaven is God’s creative genius unrestrained, free, lovingly and unfathomably
unleashed and it will therefore end up being something larger and far grandeur
then this to enjoy.
We will then look on in awe at the majesty of all things known and far
greater the things unknown. The place before us and it’s possibilities exhaust
previous optimism greatly transcending it and traveling beyond all creative
pondering and wishful thinking. It’s reachable for us, and soon enough, waiting
to be explored is it’s terrain infinite and inexhaustible in mystery and joyful
discovery full of reassurance of a good that transcends all reality here or
anywhere else.
Heavens duration too is eternal, the terms of it’s nature only good, it’s
ways just, kind, it’s discoveries endlessly interesting and beautiful and above
all fair. Here is God and here real knowledge will come fairly untainted by
current error meeting all of our senses in love and understanding.
It’s here in Heaven that I really want to meet all my relatives that I love
and miss. It’s here I hope I meet Jesus. I wish as well to meet the just of all
the worlds other religions and to know all good people everywhere who sought
after fairness and struggled and searched for truth.
