# Preface

Multipartite discussions about God are always a delicate and risky exercise in human culture, since they have historically led to dissension, ostracism and ultimately mutual destruction, an incomprehensible paradox in human experience. God may well be the greatest and most intractable object of discord in human culture. If there should be a clash of civilizations, it will probably be instigated by the apparent unreconcilables of our non-negotiable ideas about God from one culture to another. Therefore I do not pretend in the following to present dogma or teach God to anyone, since I am not a priest or a theologian. My foremost motivation for this writing is to expose a rational perspective to scope God, and to initiate a form of conversation about God that may, if practiced, help keep us together thru our cultural differences instead of pulling us apart as usual thru discord and hatred. I also endeavor in this text to show the Cosmic dimensions of the evolution of Mankind in the most rational and coherent terms possible, as undertaken under an uncommon form of interpretation of the sacred liturgy underpinning the most prominent Religions passed on to Men thru the ages.

# 1.    Quintessential God

 Far from me the idea of demonstrating the existence of God by utilizing rational methods. Even Saint Augustine had failed in that undertaking with regards to Roman rethoricians whom he sought to convince of Christian dogma. My attempt here is to primarily show from a believer's standpoint that being keenly rational about God may counter-intuitively deepen our faiths, while strengthening our mutual ties as human beings and human groups.

## 1.1.       Scoping God Rationally

All too frequently the egocentric world that we have collectively built for ourselves takes us apart and away from slightest wisdom, contrary to God's obvious purpose as revealed by the tremendous amount of diversity that we see in nature. We do not have to be priests, theologians or devout believers to discuss God. If everyone of us must meet the burden of full compliance to canon to qualify as a Christian, a Muslim, a Buddhist, an Animist, etc., none of us would be one, not even the best Pope, best Prophet or Imam or Mambo... We can fully discuss God in a meeting of cultures without bitter disagreements and mutual animosity if and only if we can discipline our ideas about God in some measure.

## 1.1.       God is Because S-He Lives Inside of Us

Above every man's or every woman's purpose is the higher purpose or purposes of God. However God is not foreign or exogenous to any living soul, because God lives inside of each one of us. If we stop thinking of God as an entity beyond us and independent of us and start thinking instead that a part of the essence of God pointedly lives inside of each of us or is within each one of us, then we open the way to the most truthful personal experience of God. God lives and is manifest within us as our irrevocable conscience of the Good, which is truth, righteousness, justice, love of every nature and the desire to live, among other qualities and virtues. God is thus manifest within us as the very root of life that galvanizes our existence and creates that tacit unspoken and unquestioned desire to live and live on.

 In that regard, consider that even the apoptotic process of destruction of a cell in our bodies responds to the fundamental call for persistence of homeostasis, which is the towering haven in which every cell of the living inhabits. Hence the force for life in us partakes of the nature of God or IS GOD.

## 1.2.       Androgyne God

If God lives within us individually as the Life Force that sustains our existence, and because every human being is gendered, then the question of whether or not God is gendered inescapably arises. The masculine in us is the "God-given" gift of projection and imagination, ultimate agency of human innovation under the sun. The feminine in us is the "God-given" gift of contemplation and regeneration, ultimate agency of the perenniality of the human race. These two forms of potentials inhabit every man and every woman individually, this bi-valuation being ultimately supported in the chirality of human anatomy. Until one sees with own eyes the purposeful behavior of one lateral half of the human body, evidenced in biological accidents or uncommon forms of illness, and which can be tangibly at cross purpose with the other half, one never gets to understand ontological unity as a result of integrated dualism in the Life Force that sustains us individually. This truth, albeit extraneous to Western thinking, is firmly predicated in Animism, particularly African Animism [9]. Therefore to deny the perspective of an Androgyne God, is to deny the naturalness of chirality in the human body thru the Life Force that galvanizes it. Few realize that our bi-lateral anatomy, whether resulting in right-handedness or left-handedness, makes us all Androgynes in potentiality, before being gendered, because of the full personality that each chiral partition of our body represents. It is only the predominance of one potential over the other that creates gender. C. G. Jung's psychology in which the notion of Anima and Animus is prevalent is very eloquent in that regard and firmly rejoins the Animist predicate. From there, one can understand that Perfection is in equality or equalization of the two life streams that make up the Force For Life or Boddisattva. It is thus natural to understand that Anatomic Hybridity in the Androgyne state, together with its associated Mystical Ecstasy, emerges as an evolution of bi-lateral anatomy with its associated sexual exaltation thru intercourse. An emulation of this State is achieved in Sainthood per Catholic Canon, of which the history of the High Mystics of the Church undeniably witnesses. With almost no exception, they have experienced Spiritual Ecstasy, many times in their own words, as this unspeakable and delectable manner to experience or enjoy God (i.e. Saint Theresa of Avila). Consequently, if one were to seek the most profound descent of the Bounty of God, it is the Androgyne signature which provides that stamp.

## 1.3.       Representation of God and Self

It follows from the above that best understanding of self is a pre-requisite to the understanding of God. This intimate understanding is what enables every human being to rise to his or her best and most authentic representation of God. It is clear that a superficial understanding of self which is limited to conscious experience and ignores the universe of our individual unconscious experience at the root of our existence may not produce the required depth and scope for the most thorough representation of God. Conscious experience delimits the life and boundaries of Self. The Force within is not perceived in conscious experience because the object and purpose of consciousness is to experience the outward world or the external environment. That is the reason why the conscious Self translates the intuition of God as a direct duplicate of the Self or tends to purport God as an individual. The resulting representation is that of God as a super capable Man or Woman, creator of all things and beings. But it equally produces the more complex representation that God is the intelligence comprised within the Physical Laws of Nature, as well as the positivist or materialistic representation that God is unnecessary to the human mind and soul in order to achieve self-worth and for nature to be intrinsically sensible.

 All of those representations assume a God who is physically foreign to and independent of the individual. Everything would change should we come to the understanding that God is within us, not just as a representation, but as the ethical sense alive in every human being by which he or she can distinguish the good from the bad and aspire to commit to the good. That fundamental sense of the nature of bounty is present even in the worst criminals. The unbeatable desire to live and to live on that we all harbor is the manifestation of the Force For Life in every one of us, and that is indeed the root of all human representations of the Good. This unrelenting push for Life is what comes to materialize in human conscience as the conscience of the Good. Indeed it is the sprout of God in every man and every woman. This also means that every time that you've seen the face of a living soul, you've seen God!

The question of representation of God is probably the first order of business in teleology and theology. This question must be answered at the end as God in total in the form of spread of the Life Force, of which every human being and every living entity is a form of expression in their quintessential nature. In that sense, God is totalitarian[1], universal and constitutes the foundation of every individual life thru phylogenetical lineage. In that manner, God transcends individuation, individualisms and individuals while remaining the Force within for every living being.

## 1.4.       Self as a Challenge for the Experience of God

 The matter of the relationship between Self and God is the same as the question of the relation between Self and the common Good, which has been a subject of long debate. What I would define the common Good to be is not a desire, an objective or an undertaking extraneous to the individual, but very much a component of personal psychology incarnating an extension of the Force For Life at the cognitive level. The enemy of the common Good is not necessarily an uncontrollable devil or bad genius that goes around spreading evil in the World, but the ego-centric instance of every individual's psychology, because of its very mission of apprehending the world. This "devil" is manifest in what the Self believes to be the exercise of his or her absolute freedom. Alive indeed in every man and every woman from all generations.

It is clear that the principles of Higher Ethics, which are justice, hope, love, tolerance, etc., cannot be achieved under any regime of primacy of the Self and its individual freedoms, because those values only exist at the other side of the instance of Self. The true course of human progress will not be fulfilled if every individual remains unable to reach across this wall to assume communion with the Force For Life that lives in each of us. This is far from utopia. In Scripture, the prescription to achieve this is given in the timeless principle that: You shall not do unto others what you would not like them to do unto you, you shall only treat others as you would like them to treat you. Until such time that we can collectively take the steps to create a new order of life based on such wisdom of sublimation of the SELF, human kind will continue to go awreck from one age to the next, thru quasi useless socio-economic revolutions and senseless automatization.

 Great spirits that have lived among us have exemplified this moral elevation in the conduct of social change. When you can order a man to take the son of another he hates to raise him, give him shelter, parental protection and care for his well-being as if his own procreation, or two brothers to stop their violent in-fighting once and for all, lest I renounce to life myself thru a hunger strike because I have become unworthy as a caregiver to those entrusted to me, then your name is Mahatma Ghandhi, who liberated India thru moral authority resulting from sublimation of the SELF. When you can take on your-SELF to spend the best decades of your life in reclusion in opposition to mistreatment inflicted to your kindred, not because you expected something back from them, but because the suffering of the kindred is intolerable to your soul, your name is Nelson Mandela, the liberator of South Africa from the Ego of Apartheid. When you can kneel in prayer alongside the assassin who attempted but failed to murder you, in joint invocation for grace before the MOST HIGH, the Universal Force For Life, your name is Pope John Paul II, who the youth of the World universally loved because he provided food to their soul as none of their national leaders could.

## 1.5.       Legacy of Sublimation of Self

The covenant between the Jews and the Most High stipulates their part of the bargain is to promote the Spirit and show the road to Celestial Jerusalem to the peoples of the West and Mid-East. The Providence of Manna would take care of their physical needs as the counterpart of the Covenant. The Force For Life behind the Covenant revealed himself/herself as the "One Who Is" or the "Name-less or SELF-less One" and told Moses to go tell his people that the "One Who Is or the Self-Less one" is the one who had sent him... (Exodus 3-14)

 In the renewed covenant by Yeshua, the Most High prescribed the principle of sublimation of the Self in exercising mutual equity of the self: treat your kindred as Self. "Show the other cheek" is the principle of Salvation or Elevation of the Spirit thru Liberation from Self. Cornerstones of the Christian Church.

Thru Gautama, the Illuminated, the Force For Life instituted the principle of the Eighth Way for the peoples of the East, a path to development and higher Perfection of the Spirit thru sublimation of Self by containment of personal desires.

To Mohammed, the Most High became manifest as the talking Voice, interestingly not inside of him but outside of him, from the one, the intelligent one, who he yet could not see. Simply because the Force For Life is omnipotent and cannot be contained in One, and that in itself is the seminal testimony of harmony and SELF-lessness that Mohammed is entrusted to relay to his people above all. Further the meaning of the word Islam itself is Yield, or, if you will, curb the Self.

 The common thread of human history is really not that difficult to comprehend. Orthodox Judaism with its exclusive pursuits of material welfare, Renaissance staunchly ingrained in the satisfaction of material desires thru colonization and the development of automatism, the repressive theological control for satisfaction of the priesthood in Mohammed's land, are all our reverse responses to the timeless and relentless calling of the Force For Life upon us all for sublimation of SELF.

It is not by negating God that one can assert One-SELF. To attempt to create a space for self is to become blind to the fact that all individual freedoms are surrounded by limiting asymptotic situations that make them only minimally approachable and never fully reachable outright. If one believes in the enchanting idea or ideal that full freedom is for us to have, that really makes us all puppets of a mirage. What I have seen instead from those who have lived to uncompromisingly sublimate their Self is a tremendous Force, inherited from the Force For Life, and incredible levels of achievements for mankind thru power of the Spirit.

Or so I believe...

## 1.6.       Faith v. Atheism

Questions of the meaning of life, long debated, have been particularly the object of 20th Century Jean-Paul Sartre's philosophy of existentialism. So long as one appreciates and values one's own life, so long as one's desire to live perdures, then does it matters a single bit whether one believes in God or not? A conclusion to the negative should not be the ultimate consequence of Jean Paul Sartre's famous existentialism. Because things do not exist just because they exist as existentialism would have it, and that's all there would be to it in conclusion. By all accounts, life in you, you have not given yourself. You are an individual experience of Life, Life has fashioned you thru phylogenesis and ontogenesis. Indeed, this Life Force is God. It is only because this Life Force does not permeate common individual consciousness in all clarity that we have discussions and arguments about the existence of God or not.

Once we come to a clear comprehension of the instinctual impulse for Life, which is at the root of our individual existences, as a reflection of God, then there is no more theism or a-theism. There is a fundamental movement that embroils all things in existence. It is totalitarian expansion. That expansion  is for sure an expression of the Life Force, and it is the vector that gives us the most profound sense of Righteousness, Ethics, Bounty, Benevolence as much as sense of what is Good. I am sure all will agree that the worth of a person is not in how much material wealth he/she has amassed for his/her Ego, but how much Life he/she has spread around himself/herself thru empathy and assisting and caring for others. Indeed Benevolence or the Beatitudes start with the very act of procreation. And that is why the Tradition handed down to Man from the Most High is fundamentally based either on Patriarchy or Matriarchy.

Yet, no man or woman has pro-created another thru individual ingenuity, self-intelligence or own intuitive knowledge. Every individual life is a timeless achievement of Life or the Life Force. So therefore re-contextualizing our representation and understanding of God seems to have become a must to all of us, scientists, atheists and believers. Otherwise we are all going to succumb to intolerance, egocentrism and destructive warfare, no matter how devout to any religion or the religion of atheism that we think we are.

## 1.7.       Self and End of Evil

At the personal psychology level, if I think of God as another Man out there, invisible and powerful though he might be, it will be my personal God, my own God, the one who talks to me, and prefers me, the one who shelters me and preserves me from evil coming from others. This God will have the attributes that I egocentrically attribute to Him.

But if I think that God is the Goodness in every Man, that my relationship with God is the relationship that I maintain with all my other fellow Humans, that it is the individual Life Force in them that creates the collective Stream by which we achieve Society and Culture which both sustain and feed my own life, then I assure you it will be the beginning of the end to evil in the World.

Therefore, if evil comes from a Devil, it is not its sole origin, because the first of all Devils, in the context of human culture, and in light of human history under the sun, is Self. The cardinal way of killing this Devil is thru sublimation of Self.

## 1.8.       Instinctual Trust in God

If we endeavor to keep away God as an invisible abstraction residing in some abode above us, and cater to a Real God personified in the Goodness in us, every single one of us,  whether believers or a-theists, will sooner or later discover that this God is our individual Life Force, present and represented in every fellow human being. The challenge is thus to understand God thru plurality or diversity and as promoter of the same. When we come to this realization in fullness, we will become more and more accepting of each other, more tolerant to each other, and, hopefully, we will come as well to an    understanding of the meaning and purpose of our innate differences.

Our ordinary egocentric view of God leaves us with a tremendous deficit in visualizing how much our individual lives are based on TRUST of each other. The home where you are sheltered right now, you trust that its builders built it so that you can be secure inside of it, you did not and could not verify every single one of its structural components for such trust. You trust that the entire teams of fellow humans who collaborated to build your car, did not build it with flaws that will cause it to explode on you. You trust that pumps at the gas stations have been calibrated to give you the exact amount that the pricing is calling for, you don't know who the calibrators were. You trust that the road and bridge built by others for your ride will not plummet under you. If you trusted State for these assurances, then you have trusted even more people.

 The most fundamental currency of our lives is TRUST, and it is ultimately trust in the Goodness of every other one of us.  As a laborer, when you do your work with love and instinctively put the best of you in it thru what we call work ethic, you do so primarily for others. The Goodness in us is the foundation of our Lives, because if it was the evil nothing built would stand. The Life Force-God flows thru everyone of us toward every other. Unquestionably. It is very much untrue that competition or destructive competition is the propellant of our Culture. The seminal bond that glues society and the global Culture together is Trust. Competition comes as an overthrow on the underlying fabric of Trust and only contributes to greater good when it is experienced as competition for perfection.

It is time for us to finally come to the realization of the foundational role played by mutual Trust in our lives. This Trust partakes of the state of Goodness that is subjacent to the individual human Soul. The ultimate purpose of every Religion is to instill in us that higher form of consciousness. So I believe.

## 1.9.       God Thru Open-Mindedness

The way that everyone generally represents God makes indeed for a very personal and intimate experience. Because for many it is the place we go when we need to brace ourselves in the most difficult moments and circumstances. You will hear the a-theists call for Goodness (My Goodness! – For Goodness sake!) in those moments because Goodness is their God, perhaps unknowingly so.

Nevertheless, the mutual sharing of our representations of God or Goodness may prove to be one of the most powerful means for the meeting of cultures, which may ultimately lead us to universal peace. If you are a white man, God is probably for you a white man. If you are a white woman, God is probably for you a white man as well, by education. If you are a person of dark color, God is most probably for you a white man  equally, due to transculturation on account of colonization. To a person of dark color who has overcome transculturation, God will probably be a black man. If you are an Asian person, what would God's race or appearance be for you? Would God be of Asian appearance? Would God be instead of dark appearance, akin to the Buddha Gautama?

 It is natural that everyone of us thinks that God is of one's own race. If you are an a-theist you probably still believe that your race is the owner of Goodness. But then, is it not an unsustainable reductionism to constrain the person God to be at your sole own image? How can we deny someone of a different ethnicity faculty and right to "naturally" represent God as a higher person of his kindred? Can the single person God be of all races at the same time? No, is my firm answer, because it would be a physically impossible artifact. At that point we can play foul and turn God into an abstraction, an ethereous entity somewhere in an unphysical place, or a principle of some kind, so that we can still live with that self-centric representation of God, whether to accept it or to reject it (atheism). It is only with the recognition that the OTHER God or the OTHER's God, physical and racial as we all represent Him or Her, is God too, that we may come around full circle and with all honesty. At that moment you will have seen Greatness and Goodness in someone OTHER, and you will have probably met his or her Humanity for the first time thru the God in him or her. Because, from the premise that I have set forth, a personal and physical God cannot be a segregated ONE, but ALL of us at the same time.

It takes an open mind like this, or for us to open our minds like this, to appreciate the vastness of God. The name I put on this is Higher Consciousness. The secret of universal peace. Again, if we can have patient, rational and acrimonious conversations about God, we can all come to a place of deep mutual understanding and tolerance, beyond our differences and maintaining our differences.

## 1.10.   Agnostic Science

The Agnostic Science of the West that we practice does not believe that the existence of God is a necessary condition to an explanation and understanding of physical reality, nor does it view the notion of God necessary for individuals' motivation to be a good human being. Science proclaims objectivity for itself and subjectivity for all notion of God, because God is not in that perspective an empirical or experimental subject of Knowledge.

Objectivity is understood to be a result of empiricism in that it is a product of observation, which makes it something we can all agree on by experience. Whereas Subjectivity is a result of personal psychology and produces views that we are presumably doomed to disagree on because it is a result of individuals' particular window on the world. So views our agnostic science, and that is why in science, by norm we give primacy to Objectivity and disfavor Subjectivity.

Yet, many "empirical" observations in science turn out to be wrong and become later invalidated by better science. Example: the astrophysical observation of a "static universe" in vogue in cosmological physics for quite a while (pre-Hubble). Whereas  some scientists with unusual insights about a problem, decried by peers in their time, are able to properly seize own intuition and produce innovative views that become the problem solvers. Example: the statistical physics of Ludwig Boltzmann.

So, to start with, we should be cautious about scientists' views regarding the value of objectiveness and subjectiveness, let alone philosophers'. Further, when it comes to the famed philosophy of existentialism, incompleteness is a fair criticism because it has not ascertained to best satisfaction the relationship between God, Universe and Man. What both science and existentialism propose is that the universe has no meaning in itself, it only has meaning because meaning is a product of mankind collective psychology which infuses purpose to matter thru the visualization of an intelligent God.

One can revert that entire perspective thru the other perspective that I have contended here regarding the nature of God, and the relationship of God with Man and Universe.

Furthermore, what Science assumes of God is what priests have for long and forever taught the faithful, but not what is essential in religious doctrine. For Christians, one of the cardinal principles in canon is: Do not do onto others what you would not like them to do onto you. Only treat others as you would treat yourself. This means that you cannot define the Good or what is good from self. You cannot define how to be a good human being in and of yourself. You can only define Good in relation to others. What is good for you is only what will be good for others as well. What is not virtuously good for you is not good for others either. So the State of Goodness is a collective ontological state that transcends the self. It is not an Abstraction, it dictates collective experience at the same time that it arises from collective experience, and it is Totalitarian. The State of Goodness is the Spread of the Life Force that subsumes Mankind and beyond, and she only knows of unrelenting flow. That is the best and most faithful representation of God that emanates from Scripture.

This universal doctrine is above Science, because science is truly and only about how we become aware of the world beyond us. Science simply represents the workings of Consciousness in its necessary apprehension of the world around. At the moment, despite all the material benefits it has brought to mankind, its premises cannot validly address the profound and indispensable matters of existentialism or humanism.

## 1.11.   God Thru Life and Death

If God is the seminal Force within, can God abide in a criminal subject, you wonder? How can that ever come to be? Higher wisdom reveals that death is an essential component of Life. As scholars and laymen, we must ultimately consider that our bodies would not remain alive and vibrant if the continual process of cellular auto-destruction known in biology as apoptosis was not there to orchestrate death to the army of cells that have become unnecessary and compromising every minute of life. King Solomon's higher wisdom teaches us in Ecclesiastes 3:

"There is a time for everything, a time for birth and a time for death... a time to kill and a time to heal... a time to destroy and a time to build... a time for tears and a time for bliss...."

God is not afraid of evil and suffering no more than S-He is afraid of the experience of death. Because in the Life Charter of God, evil and suffering and death are only a means to Transcendence. An absolute fracture in the tapestry of existence cannot occur because in the purest of void there cannot be a  hole of any kind but only another class of void, if there should be. Death, as much of a traumatic experience as it might be, is always a gateway to new freedoms. God is therefore not afraid of death. That is why God has instituted the High Tradition of Sainthood based on Martyrdom. In the Christian Tradition, God has not principally died to rescue us from our sins and evils, as priests exclusively have it, but essentially to put before our eyes the exemplary experience of vanquishing death and evil thru yield and above all, I believe, to show us that is the fundamental reason for our lives (of suffering) under the Sun.

## 1.12.   God or Gods

Fair to say that all ideas about God come from the particular forms of thoughts thru which we prospect the nature of God. There are three modal representations at work in our cogitations on that particular:

1.- God does not exist but only a conscience by which we naturally tend to do Good (we don't need to believe in God to be a Good person). This is the minimalist or monolithic form of thought which grants God the most minute existence there can be in the form of a punctual human conscience.

 2.- God at the image of Self as a stylized and highly able being endowed with the power to Create the world that is conceivable to us. This form of thought is slightly more open than the previous, since it gives God existence beyond the strictly individual and proper ontology in Nature. This representation is the one cultivated by the priesthood in most religions.

3.- God Transcendence, which is an asymptotically open form of thought in granting God broad-encompassing attributions in terms of the vital force that subsumes and animates both the living and matter, a sort of boundless cosmogonic being. This form of representation is present in all scriptures but not promoted by the priesthood in general for many reasons, not the least of which is that they don't understand it and cannot translate it.

Although it might have always been part of human culture, the first form of representation has historically been a reaction to the second and has ironically been visualized as a form of Enlightenment. In the second form of representation, the question of God or Gods, or whose God is God, naturally arises with all its specter of conflicts and violence in the name of God. It had caused some to think that God had made a choice in terms of which human cultural group S-He naturally belongs to. Only if we can rise to the third form of interpretation, do we have a chance at an authentic and harmonic vision of God. If you are going to communicate with someone, your best approach is to speak his language and assimilate his culture. If God lives in us, then S-He must accordingly become manifest to us thru the elements that define us biologically and culturally. God did not pick and choose a race or group to manifest himself/herself materially. God is manifest thru all and every culture of mankind thru many different forms of epitomizations of Himself/Herself, in accordance with Culture. How I know the Entity remains always the same is because the message is the same in all religious doctrines. As alluded to before, the Christian principle of Yield (as shown i.e. in show the other cheek) is the same as that which is proclaimed in Islam thru the principle of Martyrdom, the word Islam itself meaning Yield. In Animism no one can receive the propitiatory auspices of the Spirit without having been submitted to the initiatory rite, which is a protocol of Yield and Humility. This understanding makes the question of a ranking between the epitomizations of God as well as the question of God or gods a moot argument.

## 1.13.    Why Animists Believe that Matter is God

In the West, Animists are considered as savages that need be civilized, owing to their strange beliefs that matter may be God or represents an experience of God and as such worthy of devotion. What this form of thinking in the West remains blind to is that everything below the cell structure down to the atoms and particles that make up our living bodies is inert matter. If you should consider, in all openness of minds, that God is the Force that animates the entire Universe, and that there is an ontological component of inert matter to all living entities, then you will understand that:

·         you can never separate inert matter from living matter.

·         what makes one differ from the other is a question of behavior.

·         the boundaries between the living and the inanimate are not known.

·         and that well thought out ontology must seize all beings in their Unity.

That is what incontestably legitimizes Animists views about God and Nature, a form of thinking that equates matter to life and life to matter and which, by the way, is integral part of Hinduism and Lamaism, not just African Animism. Now, you may disagree from a Cartesian point of view, but it is only because Cartesian forms of thoughts have no visibility at those depths.

It is interesting to note that such claims of animist savagery have never been applied to the ancient Saharan Kemetic Kingdom which was ruled by Pharonic Theocracy of the Sun-Star. The West has always remained in awe of the uttermost stylized artforms developed under the Kemetic Animist vision, to the point that 4000 years later they became object of widespread looting for exposition in European capitals. Furthermore, the entire Greco-Latin civilization took deep inspiration from Kemetic intellectual, spiritual and material constructions, except for the colossal pyramids of which no one to date has been able to figure out how in the world they have been built by Kemetic human hands.

Most people don't realize in full awareness how dependent their lives are, biologically and experientially, on the Sun-Star. We talk about mother Nature in a vague manner without realizing that she, the Sun-Star, is really our Mother in Nature or the closest thereof. Not only that the particles and  precursory hydrogen atoms of which the more complex atoms that make up the first existential layer of our bodies do all come from Her, she also provides the prime and endless light energy that keeps our human bodies, once formed, well alive thru metabolic activity, insofar as relates to every other form of life in the biosphere, in particular those of our "food chain". The entire flora spread out on this planet, which is directly part of our food chain, participates on its own of this vivid form of experience with the Sun-Star (chlorophyll assimilation thru direct absorption of Sun Light.). She is thus the alpha and the omega of life. Further, she is the owner of the most important bio-rhythm that regulates our existence from the Cosmic backdrop of what we call day and night. No one can live without the inner gravitas of this Cosmic alternation. Just a few years ago, the story referenced by the hyperlink below, of much relevance to the matter being hereby discussed, circulated in the official Western news media as an oddity: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_jLR3KaATUM[2]

Fig.1.1 Massive candle light celebration of a liturgical holy day  
by clergy and lay people at a Buddhist temple.

If indeed, and only if, yogi Prahlad Jani has lived 70 years with no ingestion of food but direct absorption of light from the mother Star, thru profound functional changes in visual perception and metabolic activity, then he would have demonstrated that human life and karyotic life in general are not primarily dependent on planet Earth, but that every human and living being is a Cosmic entity under the direct regency of the mother Star. And that life, in its bewildering diversity, is not a result of random conditions in planet Earth environment, but directly dictated by the Sun-Star and nurtured by her without end.

This most profound truth which towered the Animist Kemetic Kingdom represents indeed the gravitas of all Religions handed down in human culture. It is evidenced in the golden domes of mosques,

Fig. 1.2 Al-Aqsa Mosque

the ritual turning to and around Mecca as the central celestial globe that attracts the faithful in the form of a gravitational mandala (mural form of the Mosque and pilgrimage lines) akin to orbiting planets, as much as the elevated golden ceiling and rainbow windows of Christian Cathedrals which irradiate splendorous Light with delightful colors as living manna over the faithful.

Fig. 1.3 Dome of the Berlin Cathedral

Let alone the ubiquitous ritual fire in the much older religions under the Sun. Yes, I hold religion to be Cosmic culture indeed, a legacy of the Higher Spirits that came before us in the phylogenetic line. Some texts of millennia past call them the fiery Archangels!

Is this the foundation of Monotheism which is an element of high pride in Mid-East-founded religions? Is there any closer to Men a more vivid example of expression of the

Fig. 1.4 Dome of Chartres Cathedral

Force For Life in its unrelenting, ubiquitous and most self-less spread? What is the Cosmic order that fuels the Hierarchy by which the Force For Life experiences its totalitarian expansion? Is the Hierarchy of Responsibility the principal Cosmic axis of the evolution of Life? What is the Cosmic cartography that instantiated Human Ancestry? These are questions for every man and every woman to answer for himself or herself whenever they have started to make any semblance of sense. If a man or a woman is unable to ask and answer these questions, beyond the common musing about the meaning of life or the abode of Heaven, it is to no prejudice to his or her abilities and faculties. They shall however marshal a motion that will someday enable them to See the Light. In the Boddisattva language, this realization is called Illumination, as exemplified by the Buddha Gautama, or Yeshua, the Light that came into the World but that the World could not see (John, 1:10).

Fig. 1.5 Prophetic angelical lineage as surreptitiously revealed  
by King Solomon in Ecclesiastes 2:8

If you believe that the representation of the fiery Angels and Archangels in the Catholic Church's mystical tradition only stands for stylish artforms of mystical inspiration, think again!

These representations  consign in a sophisticated manner the Higher Truth that Quintessence in every Man is an instance of Cosmic progeny as mediated by the Mother Star which ultimately institutes the direction of Human Ontological Evolution.

## 1.14.   God Manifest

A broad understanding of the dynamic Universe and God Almighty requires a totalitarian form of mentation. According to such thinking God is boundless as much as the Universe is edgeless, and God Almighty is or must be a God-Universe. However, this representation is still spiritually vacuous if it not grounded in the firm perception and belief that quintessence in every man is a sprout of the Almighty Universal Force For Life; and that every man or woman is an atom of God.

It is possible that a human person having achieved a Higher state of Grace and Benevolence would have to be perceived by us in behavior and faculties as an unspeakable Wonder. Man of this era has never directly seen one, however the sacred texts have given us testimonies of the existence of these beings as integrants of the Order of Angels and Archangels, as previously mentioned. In the West specifically, it is from them, by reading Scripture between the lines, that we ultimately have to learn Divine Transcendence or Boddisattva.

Belief in God does not take anyone very far. Only the experience of God is transformational. There are many ways to that experience, one of which is sublimation of the Self, amply discussed previously, once one has fully understood Boddisattva in Self and all other human beings with no exception. God himself has established a simple path to that experience for every man as a way to stir every human being onto the path to Transcendence. Because human history continually unfolds and passes away, material witnesses of the Spirit ultimately becomes fading Memorials. That the Apostles, for instance, spoke in prophetic language at Pentecost is today no more than a fable even to the Evangelist. That is why, I believe, God has become manifest in physical Memorials expressing testimony of the Immaterial in a way that defy passage of time. Ever since Enlightenment in the modern era, God had multiplied the material signs of his or her omnipotent presence globe-wide. Men of all ages call this form of testimony miracles.

By remaining isolated in Self, one can always take the position of staunch disbelief in miracles. In fact, the Church today, as diminished as it has become, is not asking anyone to believe in miracles, as I view it. What the Church today is asking of anyone is to come see one. The Marian phenomenon is spread on every continent, for anyone and everyone to come witness God Manifest. For instance, the Church openly invites anyone to buy oneself a plane ticket to Paris, 140 Rue du Bac, Chapel Notre Dame de la Médaille Miraculeuse, come see the bodies of Sainte Louise de Marillac or Sainte Catherine Labouré, deceased for now two centuries and yet with their bodies inexplicably intact. Nuns and priests have wholeheartedly kept that Chapel free open to all.

http://www.chapellenotredamedelamedaillemiraculeuse.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/P1010142.jpg[3]

The higher purpose of these "mysteries" is certainly not to mystify human beings but to establish a material testimony of the omnipotence of the Force For Life that is at the same time immaterial to the unfolding of human history. Should one insist in approaching the question of physical or empirical manifestation of God in terms of belief or disbelief in miracles, one is then purely and simply playing foul. Given how widespread and accessible these manifestations are, we must conclude that in the West, province of Christendom, it is out of temerity and utter bigotry that science and atheism can discard and close eyes on this timeless "empirical" patrimony of the Transcendental, long nurtured by the Catholic Church, to simply say the least.

## 1.15.   Conclusion

If any religious doctrine teaches God as a God Individual, who bestows the Good onto some and chastises others, then it has not arisen from workings of the Spirit who is ubiquitous within every and all men. Such a religious doctrine has no more worth than the doctrine of atheism. If any religious doctrine professes hatred and intolerance, then it is not a legitimate and authentic cast of the Spirit and has put itself at the same level of the Evil that it condemns. Such doctrines are artforms of human consciousness and in most cases corruptions of original inspired doctrine, and they do not contribute at any sensible rate to the expansion of the Force For Life. If any religious doctrine promotes practices resulting in or destined to damage the human soul, then it is a catastrophic affront to the Spirit.  Priests of every religion have historically done a very good job at teaching every group that their God is the only God or the real one, without ever bucking at the ominous level of self-centrism there is to this conception of God. We are where we are in deep-seated cultural antagonism today very much thanks to these grave errors.

 That is why the faithful ought to take the scriptures in their own hands nowadays in order to remove from them the hatred and self-centrism, otherwise called dogma and orthodoxy, under which God had been oftentimes buried. And the best way to that avenue is in attempting a rational, patient, meticulous and all respectful conversation about God. God, well understood, is an opportunity for us to understand each other and to discover each other's humanity. If there is a group of people who can fruitfully jump start that undertaking, it is certainly the educated.

It is ultimately up to us to let our egocentrist gods lead us to mutual destruction or let the Goodness in everyone of us, aka God, positively transform us into agents of Life.

J'ai écrit ce poème pour tous les hommes et les peuples qui souffrent, afin qu'ils se souviennent que dans le desespoir le plus profound ils ne sont jamais seuls à souffrir sur cette terre. La souffrance est d'autant plus grande quand on porte une âme sensible aux autres. Parce qu'alors on porte aussi la douleur des autres, à côté de la sienne propre. Et si de plus on souffre en silence, il faut beaucoup de courage pour entreprendre le travail quotidien de vivre. Mais enfin, n'est-il pas vrai que personne n'est venu à la vie pour jouir du Bonheur éternel? If faut bien croire et maintenir à l'esprit présent que les feux de la douleur physique et morale nous apporteront un jour une condition transcendente ici-bas ou ailleurs.

Non, la foi n'est pas l'opium des peuples, mais la force d'Esprit qui nous aide à juguler cet exil ici-bas pour, au bout du compte, en sortir victorieux!

# 2.    Catechism of the Sun-Star

It may be possible that my arguments about the role of the Sun Star in human life and her relationship with Men has left you unconvinced and perhaps somewhat surprised, or even in revolt. You may be left pondering that the oncome of Enlightenment in the West was in fact a reaction to those rough and insane ideas which so much upset human culture in the West during the Middle Ages.  I intend to pour more evidence to that dossier in order to make the case even more compelling to critics.

## 2.1.       Framing of Human Cognition by the Sun-Star

As contrarian to these ideas one might be as a civilized citizen of the West, the phenomenologies surrounding the Sun Star are enmeshed in Western culture ever since the inception of the latter in Ancient Greece and Rome with their resulting spread all over Europe. As I mentioned before, the inner gravitas of the Cosmic alternation of the Star in relation to Planets, in particular with ours, create the fabric with which our daily lives are irretrievably interwoven. Our very notion of time and the nomenclature that we use to formulate it is inextricably linked to the activity of the Sun Star. Time remains of course a fictitious physical variable since a universal unit of time has never been found. Nevertheless, it is only the cosmic alternation orchestrated by the Star that gives human psyches material grounds for the trace of time (locally), given that the spin and orbital rotation of the Earth are themselves primarily dependent on the dynamics of the Star. Because the metric of time is so central to human psyche, one must forcibly admit that the Sun Star is the only material entity that ultimately sustains our cognitive equilibrium as well as guarantees our access to knowledge of the natural world thru empiricism. Obviously the light provided by the Star plays no small part in the latter, however I wish to highlight here the paramount role played by the Star in mediating our cognitive experience. We take that artifact as granted fact of life, however it would suffice a cosmic accident resulting in an alteration of the gravitational influence of the Star on zenithal bodies, planet earth in particular for this form of the human experience to be tangibly altered in unpredictable ways. To put it simply, it is the Mother Star that provides the referential artifact of time for us, thru its regency of all systemic motion, and thereby frames the way the human psyche gains access to knowledge and perception.

## 2.2.       Sun-Star in the Role of God Almighty

 The fundamental role played by the Mother Star in Northern cultures is easily traceable in languages spoken under northern latitudes, akin to the towering role she played in the Saharan Kemetic Kingdom. In Germanic languages we still call the days of a week: Sun-day, Mon-day, Tues-day, Wednes-day, Thurs-day, Fri-day and Satur-day as we effectively do in the English language. In roman languages, we call them: Di-manche, Lun-di, Mar-di, Mercre-di, Jeu-di, Vendre-di, Same-di, as the French language has it. The diminutives day or di refer to the part of the 24h cycle where the light from the Star is visible in the sky and over the objects in our surroundings. In that sense, semantically speaking day or di is synonym to sunlight or its duration and we have 6 of these common frames of 24h time (Monday thru Saturday). Now of course, we have a stellar day of the week time lapse, which is Sun-day. Sun-day is a celebratory day of the week which goes obviously by deference and honor to the Sun-Star in nomenclature. By further deference, it is given preponderance over all other days in being conferred the standing of first day of the week. One ought to understand that there is no physical reason, meteorological or otherwise, why Sun-day must obligatorily represent the first day of the week, unless the culture expressly intends to ascribe such standing to the entity for a particular reason. In that sense, it is also interesting to note that in the roman language of French, Di is accordingly given the preponderance of occupying the first part of the word Di-manche.  Consequently, Sun-day (Di-manche) is the towering ruling day of the scale of time in Northern cultures.

What's more, the word God in roman languages is Dieu (Di-eu) as it is in French or Di-os in Spanish or Di-o in Italian or De-us in Portuguese. Indisputably, northern languages so ascribe to the Star, purveyor of the indispensible Light (di or day) for life, the crown function of God Almighty. And that is the very reason for the special standing of Sun-day (Di-manche) as the first day of the week in northern cultures as well as the celebratory tone and good auspices associated with that day. Consistent with that assertion, one should further know that eu, as it appears in Di-eu, in Latin means Good or Splendid!

Now, if anyone is obfuscated by the idea of the Sun-Star being God, so imbued might they be of scientific knowledge and Enlightenment, they will have to start quitting segmenting time as we still do in seven days or di in a week and by all means renounce to the nomenclature now in use for several millennia for their denomination. To the extent that the obfuscated keep using for themselves and their particular science the same calendric partitioning and nomenclature, they partake of the same belief and belief system subtending those notions, whether they are cognizant of the background of their own root culture or not. Since we have yet to see from them a time-free description of life and dynamic systems, they will also have to reframe their individual cognitive processes to free them up from the tempo of the Mother Star.

## 2.3.       Treacheries of Catholic Liturgy

One of the major problems of the Catholic Church, perhaps unidentified to this day,  is its reliance on written texts for its consolidation, in detriment of ritualistic initiatory means that truly open the way to Heaven. The Church has thus become more of a physical human institution than a meta-physical expression of the Spirit that it promotes. So it occurred because the Church corrupted the project of the Spirit, which is the moral and spiritual Elevation of Men, into a project of power and control by the priesthood.

The Liturgical project of the Catholic priesthood was developed to that end throughout the history of the Church, in particular during the period that corresponds to Renaissance, and which in large part prompted the oncome of Reformation.

The first path to mystical or spiritual Elevation, which is an ascent to the Spirit, is the initiatory path, ironically a Renaissance in the human individual's life. It corresponds to death, a death that is more real than symbolic, and rebirth with accrued intuitive capabilities. Mystical initiation is part of the Judaic tradition and rejoins in practice most of the other non-Abrahamic religions spread around the Globe. It emerged in Catholicism from John's practice of baptism and was orchestrated in times closer to this day in the prostration of Cardinals in Saint Peter's Church. Only reserved to high priesthood, it became anemic in Catholicism, while the pursuit of liturgical canon became mainstream activities of the Church in search of power and control of secular society.

All of the doctrines of the Church remained rooted on this Liturgical project, which versed in selection or rejection of sacred texts respectively as canonical and apocryphal, as much as interpretation of the compiled canonical text, which became the Bible, in a way that is unsurprisingly biased toward securing the grip of the Church on secular society. That is why the Church did everything it could to prevent a manuscript of the Bible to fall into the hands of the common man. Until Gutenberg's press appeared on the scene, of course.

It is within that struggle that the official Catholic Church chose to make good on three specific passages of the Bible in order to uphold the notion of Geocentrism, in the books of Psalms, Chronicles and Ecclesiastes, namely: Psalm 93:1, 96:10, and 1 Chronicles 16:30 which state that "the world is firmly established, it cannot be moved.", Psalm 104:5 which states that "the Lord set the earth on its foundations; it can never be moved." And, Ecclesiastes 1:5 stating: "And the sun rises and sets and returns to its place."

They enforced the notion that God was a Man (not a Woman), that they are the priests of this Man and invested with His Authority. And of course, since men lived on Earth, the earth must be the center of the Universe, a flat universe with all celestial bodies moving around the Earth. It is true however that they could have found grounds in the sacred text that came down to us as the Bible to enforce the notion of God Universe and Quintessence in all Men, in the many interactions between Moses and God related in Genesis or most interestingly in this passage of Proverbs[4], which is also from King Solomon's ink: Proverbs 8:30 J'étais à l'oeuvre auprès de lui, Et je faisais tous les jours ses délices, Jouant sans cesse en sa présence, 31Jouant sur le globe de sa terre, Et trouvant mon bonheur parmi les fils de l'homme.

The expression the "globe of his earth" had been written at least 3000 years before men set foot on the moon and verified the globular feature of close celestial bodies. Evidently, that the earth is flat and that everything in the heaven including the Sun-Star moves around the earth was common sense directly resulting from visual perception. But that the earth is a globe undoubtedly proved to be a revolutionary concept in all of antiquity until and including the Renaissance period with its scientific enlightenment. How long can one sustain the notion that the earth is a globe while maintaining the idea that nearby celestial bodies which are seen circular in plain sight are not all around circular as a globe as well? By all accounts, it is much harder to realize that the earth is a globe than it is the Sun Star, the moon or the other shiny bodies in the night sky.

It took of course scientific enlightenment brought about by instrumentation to firmly establish empirically that the earth is a globe, as resiliently advocated by Copernicus, Galileo and Kepler with the Heliocentrism doctrine.

We have never seen a movement within the Church aimed at scrutinizing sacred texts along that line of questioning, which obeys simple logic, but to impose interpretation that strictly serves clergy and its interests by erecting canon law. Enlightenment did not necessarily have to develop against Catholicism thru the mustering of secularism, because truth in nature can be reached both by experimentation and intuition, and because the seeds of truth are sparsed in all concerned sacred texts, both canonical and apocryphal. The Church's hierarchs had resisted the notion of Heliocentrism persistently promoted by Copernicus, Galileo and Kepler, instrumental figures in Renaissance's scientific revolution, simply because they chose to ignore passages of their own sacred texts, and to thwart open debates around cosmogonic notions in theology. They were deeply invested in creating an intellectual climate conducive to their authoritarian hegemony thru canon law.

The problem we are facing here which formerly led to both inquisition and the crusades (since 1096 BC) is one of extreme appetite for political power and domination in a culture tuned to supremacy. That is why the Church found no problem in aligning with the colonization project brought about by Enlightenment as it unfolded in the Americas until quasi complete extinction of Amerindians and their replacement thru transatlantic slave trade by Black Men. The latter was well promoted by the Church thru the infamous priest Bartolomé de Las Casas. This alignment with Enlightenment and its project of colonization was all the more convenient since said project opened the way for evangelization or domination of an army of more souls in the newly discovered world. Catholic priests further provided moral and spiritual justification to the forfeits and cruelty of colonization, inarguable poster child of Enlightenment, with all kinds of specious and vicious interpretation of the Bible to keep Amerindians and Negros submissive to their God-given destiny of atrocious exploitation by their civilizing Masters.

This is indeed a very dark chapter in the history of mankind. And if one seeks to better understand much of today's world and its societal organization, one has to turn back the eyes to Renaissance and colonization on one side and the Church and evangelization on the other side. Will it be any surprise to realize that the institution of Science  borne out of Renaissance has adopted much of the same intolerant and authoritarian methods and practices that then characterized the Catholic Church? The only truths in nature in today's world can seemingly be given by Science only, nobody else owns the truth or part thereof, and truths coming out of scientific quarters are absolute and cannot be questioned! This even though the development of scientific knowledge is manifestly a history of how newly discovered truths continually demote formerly held absolute truths. Any scientist, akin to former priests, deacons or protégés of the Church, who dares go against established truth or introduces unconventional observation or views, runs the risk of banishment from establishment, and revocation of his or her sanctimonious title. The scientific mind of the West is one that outright owns knowledge and is only prepared to convert others to its own vision. By late 19th Century, a free man of color in the United States of America seeking an invention patent as the prize of ingenuity and expertise faced more often than not intractable rejection due to racial segregation supremacy!

At the moment, the prevalent notion in science is that of secularism associated with the Cartesian view that Nature is a flat inanimate object or population of objects, intelligence being only mankind's prerogative. But is it really so?

## 2.4.       A Perspective Problem

Should an average person happen to stumble on a 6\- or 7-foot individual, let alone an 8-foot plus individual, tallest human height on record, he or she would be undoubtedly flabbergasted by the uncommon height of that fellow human being. Comparatively, nobody is yet impressed by the size of the visible moon or the size of the Sun-Star in the zenith. One ought to realize that it is only proximity that allows us to appreciate or gives us a true sense of the real size of objects in nature. Should we be able to physically and closely approach the celestial bodies we observe from afar on earth, our relationship with those entities as a consequence of their humongous size with respect to ours as well as our resulting appreciation of their ontology would most likely constrain us to more humility and perhaps more respect on our part toward these integrants of the zenith than we currently grant them. If a human being could approach the Sun Star just at the distance of the mysterious heat belt around the Star to gaze at the same, there is no question that the awareness of how insignificant a human being as a creature represents with respect to the Star would dawn on his or her level of comprehension or cognitive ability.

A human being compared to the Star is even metrically smaller than a drop of water would be compared to the spread of all the oceans of the world. And if you are going to be more important than the Star in nature, you must forcibly wonder where is the spatial environment that will mediate the exercise of this supremacy in phenomenology? Certainly not the ecliptic sector or the Kiuper belt, where she is Queen and which she sweeps all around and about with her unrelenting nebular plasmic winds; she exerts her attraction even further into the interstellar region. In view of the fact that no physical object can even approach the Star beyond her circumventing heat shield while remaining whole, let alone penetrate it integrally, how would the terms of this human individual's supremacy on the Sun-Star spell out?

Fig. 2.1 At this scale a representation of a human being hovering close to the Star globe would not even reach the size of an atom in this page. Yet he believes  
that he is more important in Nature than the Star herself!

It seems to me that in all justice, before one may claim that they have more intelligence than the Sun Star, they should first prove their intelligence by unraveling the dozens of mysteries surrounding the structure and internal dynamics of the Sun Star as known in the science of Solar Physics in general.

## 2.5.       Arrogant and Ignorant Notion of Harnessing Nature

The idea that one may come to dominate or harness Nature is a completely ignorant perception of how Nature is laid down and what role humans and human intelligence play in the ontology of Mother Nature. That positivist idea is even unsustainable from a mere philosophical standpoint.

There is no possible segregation of Man with Nature by which the human race acquires a separation that affords the exercise of absolute free human will on the rest of all that is in existence. Enlightenment had borrowed that idea from the Church's Liturgy and prescriptions for the visualization of God. God in canon law is a Man that had created Nature, and he had subsequently granted Men, direct inheritors of his quintessence, power over everything else in existence. It is clear that to the extent that human supremacy over Nature is a world view shared by both the Church and Science, secularism in science becomes a vacuous claim that equates no more than a salvo against an enemy.

It is imperative to understand that Man is irrevocably a part of Nature, whether or not one accepts the idea that Man is a consequence of developments in Nature. From a philosophical point of view, the only way that one may sensibly sustain the vantage of God or Man harnessing or dominating Nature is if one can show that there only exists a univocal relationship between God or Man and Nature but not a co-variant one. In other words, for the above to hold true, there cannot exist any form of determinant from Nature to Man or God, or dependency of God or Man on Nature. That is manifestly not the case for Man, who is in every which way dependent on Nature. And as to God, it is clear that Nature exerts an attraction on God, because according to Judaic and Catholic Liturgy all of Creation remains of interest to God, reason why He never departs the World. Therefore, it is fair to conclude that Creation exerts an attraction back onto God in a covariant or dialectic manner. Did he not see looking back at his creation, according to Genesis 1:31, that all that He hath created was "very good", an expression that shows how all He had created caused an empathetic reaction from Him? Leviticus 1:13 further acknowledges that, thru the protocol of Bounty, Men (as part of creation) and Creation may attract God, per the following instructions given to Moses's Levites: "... and the priest is to bring all of them and burn them on the altar. It is a holocaust, a sacrifice by fire with a pleasing aroma to Jehovah." Is any further explanation needed?

Fig. 2.2 Shells of matter in the Quanto-Geometric framework.

Since Science advocates secularism, we shall leave the rubrique of God v. Matter alone and only consider the question of Man v. Matter. So therefore, because Man cannot escape Nature to exercise absolute free will on her, we shall accept the fact that Man is only a part of Nature that is integral to her composition. Mankind's intelligence which we so much praise is not exclusive and peculiar to the human species but only a part or an expression of Nature's intelligence. If we were the sole owner of our human intelligence, then the first thing we would necessarily know is how our intelligence works and develops, having self-granted ourselves this capacity. We would mandatorily be endowed with the intelligence of our intelligence, not as a result of investigation, but at all times and in a spontaneous manner. That is knowingly not the case, by reason that our intelligence is given, it is Nature's intelligence or partakes of Nature's intelligence. Nothing in a human brain that makes us intelligent is more intelligent than the sum partial or total of the fantastic processes that incessantly develop within our entire body's cells, tissues and systems in order to sustain homeostasis. While we understand at this stage of human culture how homeostasis works, no one knows yet how the Sun-Star, who is among us the First of All Givers since time immemorial, develops her own self-equilibrium processes.

It will be difficult for the supremacist mind to appreciate and cope with the vision that the grander integrants of matter stand at a higher ontological level than the previous, if the hierarchy of Shells of Matter rooted on fundamental physical symmetries remains hidden and mis-understood. One must become aware of the very important artifact that matter is laid on an endless scale, and that at every level of the scale matter is a population of blocks that are each made up of sub-blocks built from a few of the elements of the previous scale level or Shell (Fig.2.2). All phenomenologies taking place within a Shell arena and involving its proper agents of action represent the transformations occurring over invariant root structures made up of smaller elements of the previous scale which thereby guarantee the stability of the upper Shell in question. It is an arrangement of atoms that make up molecules, and there is no chemical reaction as a viable phenomenology developing within the molecular Shell if the sub-objects called atoms did not exist and remained permanently invariant in the condition of sub-constituents. Likewise, the living would not exist if the population of karyotic boxes called biological cells could not each develop over materials lattices as the direct invariant sub-objects constituting the karyotic box, further guaranteeing thereby its stability or viability. Consequently, matter is, heuristically speaking, an onion ball with a spectrum of Shells whereby each is larger or more spatially expansive than the previous and thus more phenomenologically active or multivariate, and hence more capable, than the previous. Symmetry-breaking of coordinate space is the central engine of that development thru the explosion of the innate geometric and dynamic properties of coordinate space itself at each Shell.

That perspective of serial Unity in the development of matter is the one behind the Animist perspective present in All religions, including those of Abrahamic provenance, and which ultimately justifies Animism. If you are unable to acknowledge that perspective, you will never comprehend the nature of the mathematical physics symmetries sustaining the development of matter at its deepest foundations, greatest stakes of theoretical physics ever since the revolution of A. Einstein's Theories of Relativity.

## 2.6.       Limits of Enlightenment and Innovation

Absolute knowledge cannot exist. Absolute knowledge about any one thing in existence cannot exist, whether it is concerning the most monolithic object or the entire universe. The first reason to this truth is because knowledge is phenomenology. For absolute knowledge to be possible, it would have to become ontology to the limit. Therefore knowledge is always relative in the sense that there are always an infinite number of cognitive contexts, aka perspectives which are true physical vantages, to any one thing in existence. Only the entire Universe, which we call the Omniverse in the Quanto-Geometric vision, can reach or aspire to reach absolute knowledge of itself or herself. In this age of supremacist science, it is important to bear in mind that knowledge does not arise as a property of an object but only a phenomenological view of the object that is a function of the observer. It remains so even when we can seize the object or its ontology thru the intermediacy of the best possible mathematical descriptive formalism, as a guarantee of interpretative objectivity. It is very well possible that our ability and dexterity in the manipulation of the object may be the metric by which we measure our understanding of the object or the sum of distinct and assertive phenomenological perspectives that we hold of the object. Nevertheless the sum of this knowledge is always partial but never total in regards to its object. Omniscience refers to broad knowledge about the fundamentals of Nature that is possible to acquire only by catering to the shelling Unity of the development of matter, in the understanding that there exists a Shelling in the vertical order as well, not just 3-Dimensional Shelling.

The foundational questions of life and innovation cannot be properly posed, let alone resolved, absent a broad understanding of the Shelling development of matter. The direction of that Shelling regime, weakly perceived in what we call entropy, constitutes the central reference frame for the development of innovation and promotion of life, altogether with the questions of ethical order surrounding their regulation. In the ignorance of the ontological hierarchy implicated in the Shelling regime, we will remain clueless or uncertain about proper answers to these questions, although I must emphasize that Shelling in the vertical order remains equally of uttermost significance when it comes to the spiritual connotations of matters of life and humanism. I will not discuss the latter in this writing however, because my original intent is to discuss the material grounds on which Religion materially rests within the human phenomenon.

So far in human history, human ingenuity has arguably not realized much in the way of innovative undertakings that exclusively represent the product of human imagination. The discoveries realized under the impulse of our supremacist science have had indeed more to do with uncovering unknown phenomenology in nature and undertaking to replicate or control the same in some measure. The central problem that hampers innovative human activity remains the profound misunderstanding of ontology in Nature and its varied attributes, which completely obscures the questions concerning the role of human activity within the evolution of the Cosmos. Obviously, if we don't even understand our own ontology as a species, we will not be able to determine the relationship between human ontology and that of the Cosmos from whence we come. At the moment, all the scientific mind is concerned with is discoveries within the intricate structures of matter and within the Cosmos, which will give us the means to claim ownership of these structures of matter and life, as well as ownership of these other worlds in the corner of the Cosmos that we inhabit. A prominent scientist told me some time ago that he cannot understand how I can impute teleology to a star. He could not represent for himself what would become of his life that is so full of meaning if the Star in our zenith for one reason or another shut down its rays and altered its gravitational force, and that he himself and his life and his individual meaning are so dependent on the ontology of the Sun Star. He and the scientific establishment are embroiled in the idea of "emergence of life" above Nature whose destiny and sole purpose is for us humans to harness and own!

Even the latest advance in genomics which is gene sequence editing (CRSPR) is nobody's invention but simply a replica of what cellular plasmids have been observed to do. No matter what little human contribution was brought to the technique if any. From there, the idea that specific scientists and their affiliated pharmaceutical companies lay patent rights or ownership claims on sequences of human genes that prevent anybody else from working those gene sequences as well is an unbelievable and incomprehensible stance, amounting to a sort of post-modern form of possession of human beings by other human beings, eerily akin to that right of possession consecrated by slavery. In other words, that my genes are not mine but the possession of a pharmaceutical company simply makes of me a post-modern slave and that should be uncautionable and unacceptable to the society at large and the global Culture alike. If we do not accept slavery, then we should not accept the claims of gene ownership. That very fact sets the limit to what we call medical research innovation and the ultimate limits of free market activity with products under patent protection.

If the aberration of patented genes is where more than half a millennium of Enlightenment has brought us, and should one have been unaware of the philosophy behind this form of knowledge activity, then one should critically revisit the level of human consciousness which gave impulse to Enlightenment and its derived scientific activities that have come to this day. The more we advance into the knowledge of human ontology, the more untenable the enterprise of profit-driven free market of knowledge will become. Because we have now entered the phase of a knowledge economy these pressures between ethics, humanism and economy are doomed to become tenser and tenser, and even explosive as to the evolution of the human race. They are pressingly calling for instituting a different order of life centrally based on humanism in the terms that we are advocating in this text.

## 2.7.       Obscurantist Notion of Emergence of Life

In the quest for a formal explanation of the phenomenon of life, some have proposed and argued that life is an "emergent" phenomenon. According to this view, life emerged from matter, in terms of a distinction between inanimate objects and animate objects. There are many erratic dimensions to this view, however.

What most proponents of life as an emergent property of nature do not realize is how grandiosely anthropomorphic this notion is, at the first place. It is tantamount to the proposition that everything in nature beyond biota is purposeless and devoid of meaning in and of themselves and that their only purpose is to offer humans context and means for them to become purposeful and meaningful themselves. This is yet another example of how anthropomorphism has long permeated human thinking about Nature, on account of a staunch and persistent supremacist vision in the West.  It is this kind of notion, eminently self-serving, common to both the Church and Enlightenment, that arguably caused the live burning of the poor Giordano Bruno, a Renaissance heliocentrist proponent. Blame this intransigence on anthropomorphic mental attitudes and self-centrism that have not died at all thru the centuries, but made it very strongly into our scientific theories, old and modern, as ever.

In a loadable effort to establish a formal description of life, some have proposed a list of attributes by which to define life. In my estimation however, the proposed attributes seriously lack defining value for the living, principally because they are about phenomenology, and, very importantly, not about ontology. If one cares to look beyond the proposed defining terms, one can see that they are replicates of phenomenologies that equally occur beyond the biosphere. We briefly discuss them next.

### 1.       Organization in one or more building blocks

This characteristic can never have a defining value for anything at all. There are hydrogen atoms out there in empty space as singlets, and there are cumulations of hydrogen atoms in duplets (molecules) forming hydrogen gas out there in the distant Cosmos and on planets. The scientific mind would assuredly not agree that they are living entities on that basis, assembly in block that is.

### 2.       Metabolic capacity

Metabolism is a mechanism that is essentially driven by motion and activity, both for intake and catabolism. The keyword here is autonomous motion. If the Brownian motion of smoke particles, driven by random kinetic motion of molecules, is not autonomous motion, then I don't know what is. Even one level down, the non-deterministic motion of the electron in an atomic orbital shell is to be considered autonomous motion. That is the very reason why E. Schrodinger used to think that the electron must be like an amorphous object (i.e. Amoeba), as a consequence of perpetual sudden changes in momenta. Furthermore, A. Einstein for his own was no less than appalled by the behavior of this entity, stating that "he cannot imagine the electron hopping like a bug", which it absolutely is.

### 3.       Reproductive capacity

Reproduction is in essence the ability to replicate oneself. The specificities that the proponents of this attribute may bring to the fore in support of the same are generally only descriptive of the processes that mediate the realization of replication. Keyword here: self -replication. One may easily counter this proposition with the fact that a crystal put in the proper chemical environment will grow by reproduction of its lattice unit. No one ever argued, however, that a crystal must be an animate entity on that account.

### 4.       Homeostatic capacity

Homeostasis is a process of maintaining self-consistency thru constant thermal equilibrium as developed by necessity in living entities, while beyond biota this process is autogenic as far as population of same or different objects in interaction. By all account, systemic homeostasis as the modality of thermal equilibrium throughout the population of cells represented by biotic entities is a mandatory natural artifact because the physics of juxtaposed cells or cell materials do not facilitate timely autogenic thermal equilibrium across the entire individual. Therefore homeostatic capacity is not necessarily, if at all, an emergent superior quality.

### 5.       Adaptation and Response to Stimuli

These are simply epi-phenomena that are sub-functions of the above. They do not pertain to ontology and as such do not adequately assist in providing the basis for a strictly formal definition of life.

There is no more emergence of life from crystal lattices to karyotic boxes or cells, than there is from atoms to macromolecules, or from macromolecules to crystal lattices. The proponents of the aforementioned supremacist vision of life place the emergence of life as a phenomenon chiefly in the oncome of macromolecules. They are wrong even on that account, because the emergent quality of the phenomenon of life in Nature would have to be conferred to the symmetry breaking occurring from the crystal lattice to the karyotic box. Effectively, should one seek to achieve a formal mathematical-physics description of life that is consistent with long sought Unity in Physical Law, it can only be viewed within the Shelling Hierarchy of the development of matter, as previously discussed, and in terms of its observable and undeniable order. In this context, and should life be a descriptor of the Karyotic Shell of matter, the living that we are only represent a lifeform among a serial suite of other lifeforms occurring at the other Shells. Hence there would be no "emergence" of life to be visualized but only a "distinction" in the lifeform at the karyotic level.

That distinction is for sure not intelligence, which we do not even know how to define either or even faithfully replicate in automatism. Considering the sum total of the five descriptors argued above as the putative basis of life, it important to realize that they are all under the purview of the Unconscious. From mitosis in a human brain cell to the sympathetic and parasympathetic histological systems to the indispensable homeostatic circadian rhythm, these Unconscious processes represent the province of the highest forms of intelligence deployed in the living throughout. As such, they represent mother Nature in our human bodies, in opposition to Consciousness which has a very limited scope of synthetic abilities, aka intelligence, within the very process of mentation. Every time that we witness uncommon conscious faculties in special individuals, such as synesthesia, far-reaching mathematical computational abilities, absolute memory and other paranormal abilities, we are in fact witnessing a pale reflection of the vastness and sophistication of the deployment of Nature's intelligence and its mechanisms, thru the Unconscious, in our human bodies. It is not that these abilities remain dormant in the human Unconscious, matter-of-factly they are there in incessant operation, only that the limited scope of human consciousness cannot orchestrate them, perhaps only very minimally, in its long-standing state of prostration.

So therefore, if you think that you are more intelligent than Mother Nature, that you have risen above her as an illuminati and that your destiny is to harness her, being more intelligent than She is in her many different forms of materialization, think again!

## 2.8.       Limits to the Benefits of Automatism

The limits of innovation are also the limits of automatism in human culture. The machines that we make out of "creativity" are designed to perform tasks that demand too much input from our human bodies. We create them to extend the power of our arms and our legs, i.e. industrial power robots.

We also create machines to help us perform knowledge tasks better, i.e. the familiar desktop computer. They are tools that help us extend our perception, our ability to interact at a distance, so much as providing support for furthering and enhancing projective thinking.

The common thread in all these things that we "create" is that they are tailored to perform one very specific task or form of task if not a set of tasks. And that is the very reason of their efficiency. Whatever machine we invent they will only be as good an automatic implement as they are able to perform one thing or a group of things (or tasks) in a more efficient manner than we human individuals are able to.

Even when we are able to produce an agent at our own image or a so-called automaton, it will only be as efficient as it is well streamlined for particular tasks. If it were to be as complex in catering to a multiplicity of matters of life as we human beings do, the efficiency limit would be reached and at that point it is no longer a creative super-capable extension of ourselves (or parts thereof) but reproduction of self. At that very same point, we might as well create progeny.

The above spells out one aspect of the fundamental limit of automation. And that is one of the cleanest courses that automation can take in human culture. If it takes rather the dirty course of implanting chips and other implements in human beings' parts or manipulating the genome to denature human beings (two buddies going hand in hand), and adding the economic layer of enterprising for individual gain, then we are soon to fall catastrophically victim as a species to this strain of Enlightenment and in very short order.

## 2.9.       This Devil of Time

As we close this Chapter, it is worth insisting on spelling out the mishaps of the fallacious notion of time and discussing further how it counterfeits or falsifies our perception and understanding of reality. From estimating motion of objects with the time metric, the human mind has slipped into the belief that time is a true physical variable, even though it definitely stands for a complete creation of mind that is not observable per se in Nature. We have then adjoined to the notion of time the attribute of duration. However, when pressed to find a unit of time duration in Nature, neither the lay nor the scientific mind has ever been able to find that natural irreducible unit of time duration, anywhere they looked. To the contrary, the bulk of the evidence gathered in physical science has helped establish instead that time would be no more than a relative entity devoid of universally true duration. The more we learn about the Cosmos, the more we find our notion of time to be inapplicable even at the limited scale of other planets in our zenith. Few people effectively know that a year time on Venus, for instance, is shorter than a day span on that planet, if we apply our scale of time to that planet!

What I find absolutely startling is how mainstream physicists and astrophysicists have long been pontifying that the entire observable and non-observable Universe is about 13 billion years of age. The notion of an age of the Universe measured in earthly years is tantamount to as much an obscurantist idea as Geocentrism was in another epoch. The supremacist mind then sought to impose the idea that Earth with its human inhabitants was the center of the Universe. Nowadays, thru "enlightened" science, the same mindset seeks to perpetuate the very same anthropomorphic notion thru the proposition that the scale of time on earth is the scale of time of the entire Universe. It does so with the help of the insidious sentiment of a flow of time experienced by the layman, while academia has nonetheless become fully aware of the relativity of time since the revolutionary findings by early 20th Century relativists. If you believe that the Universe has an age that is measurable in earthly time lapses, then, no matter your level of scholarship, you have not yet departed from the age when men used to intractably and erroneously believe that Earth is the center of the Universe and that every other celestial body is moving about our familiar planet. Antiquity along with the entire modern era represent indeed the age of the supremacist vision vis-à-vis Nature, with such deep roots in Western culture in particular. It will be a momentous step achieved in the advancement of Mankind when we will have finally learned to visualize and account for physical phenomena well in estrangement of the fictitious notion of time, in favor of strictly coordinate space and its pivotal symmetries.

## 2.10.   Conclusion

Admittedly, the idea of imputing teleology to a star, let alone attribute Theism to the same, may be perceived as a strange and unacceptable notion in Western ideological tradition of enlightenment. Nevertheless, if one is able to indulge in just a thin bit of introspection, one will summarily find that primacy of self whereby one makes subject to self everything else in the environment, whether immediate or distant, is indeed foremost to the ways we all operate as individuals under the sun. Effectively, considering that the first objective of psychological consciousness and its sensory means is to apprehend the environment, primacy of self or supremacy constitutes in that sense the first pivot in the relationship between Man and Nature. However, a broader and ponderable understanding of the fundamental structures upon which Nature is built and along which it profiles its evolution requires us to re-dimension and abate the role of Man in Nature and to recognize that Man is not central to Nature but only a part of her. This is the window that gives the individual a chance to perceive the other integrants of Nature in their own light and recognize features in their makeup and behavior that might be similar or superior to human ontology, due to an underlying fashioning order or hierarchy. Ultimately, the awareness that Nature, in the absolute, can prescind of Men but not Men of Nature, must prevail because, for one, Nature will continue to forever exist should human civilization on planet Earth come to pass, and for the other, it is mother Nature herself that instantiated human teleology, however exclusivist and supremacist its stance. A bon entendeur, salut!

# 3.    Redemption Thru the Fire Within

Here below, every life course is embroiled in pain and suffering, always with a much larger cumulation of pain than the bliss that ever were, whenever the death toll finally rings. The story of a human life is invariably that of aspiration to bliss and misfortune of pain, from beginning to end. But the pendulum of life is undeniably skewed on the side of suffering, and makes the moments of joy and happiness as hard as an uphill battle. Every merchant of the earth is at the end in the business of selling bliss, down to the funeral homes thru the promise of eternal rest. However, if God had created both evil and good, he had sabbathize evil thru the hibernation of rest. It is no use thus to blame God for human suffering and to call for injustice if He does not intervene to mitigate the same. Popular belief under certain latitudes has it that God knows how to give but knows not how to distribute. Nevertheless, mankind's suffering is of his own making because evil in human history does not come from God Quintessential or the God within who only knows the Good. It is written in Genesis 3-22 that God had only retracted from Adam and Eve when he saw that "they now know [both] good and evil[5]." To be at the image of God, Man can only be the Good and know or dispose for the Good only. In our prostration in this life of suffering, we have come to believe that the fabric of joy and pain that makes up our days is normal and that's just the way life is. It is inconceivable to the common man that a life of Good only is ever possible. It is by virtue of the same state of prostration that conscience of Man does not come to the realization that pain and suffering in the world is his own, a partner of the evil and violence that he spreads and had spread across generations.

## 3.1.       Paths of Calvary

If you listen to the merchants of the earth, everything is good. The systems are good, money is flowing good, greed is good. And life is good.

However,  every life begins with the birth traumatism and dolences of a maternal matrix in fury, attempting in every which way to push you out into an unknown world where a few painful whips on your behind are your very first welcome. Amidst the hollering of a mother who never stopped hurling herself. The birth of a man is indeed calvary.

Traumatic birth is only the beginning of a life of fleeting bliss but recurrent pain awaiting you at every avenue. Only orgasm later on seems to bring true happiness at times. However most human cultures wrap it up in conditions and restrictions such as dowries, taboos and prohibitions of all stripes, let alone couple infightings themselves, which may turn the experience of orgasm among the most bitter at the end.

Nobody has inherited perfect genetics that grant them a perfectly healthy body which will never falter in one way or another. The inevitable and recurrent experience of illness hurts both the body and the soul.

Who has work experience in life that is unconstrained in expected results and completely free of tension-prone risks? Professional work is always an assailant in our lives, bringing lots of stress of one kind or the other, even sometimes injurious to our sense of pride, due to the moral concessions that we may need to incur in order to secure employment or business, or to otherwise ensure success.

If murder is your craft, you have for yourself only half of your nights since you only sleep with one eye. For the rest of the world rebukes you, fears you and is after you to slash you down. There is no man, however, who does not take solace in tender, a brief caress or a word of bounty. That is why a murderer suffers and will deeply suffer thru the very despair that he incessantly inflicts.

If your life is about selling pleasures of the underbelly to all and anyone, you suffer from moral dishonor. Deep is your suffering because you know you will never find a sister soul for yourself. The doors of your home are empty, you have no more secret left over. You know you will never be able to give your heart away to anyone as a treasure. The suffering of all the Madeleine is deep.

If you are addicted to psychedelic pleasure, you do so to escape pain in your life. However pleasure quickly turns back into hurt, since it summarily disappears to give way to the destruction of your persona, your body and your conscience. Ingestion of psychedelic drugs is equal to suicide.

If you are a zealous of God and want to impose sweet Jesus to others, you are going to suffer from indifference and the intolerance that you so display, and which may cost your own life. If you are a zealous of God and want own martyrdom to destroy the enemies you have identified for God, your martyrdom is void and closer to suicide and murder. Because no Martyr Saint has ever taken the life of any human being. Only in gross ignorance of Celestial dogmas can one ever think that Heaven may be the reward for suicide, murder and hatred. No man has ever given life of his own accord and ingenuity to any other man, not even one's own, or even to our own children to whom we only transmitted life. Hence no one has the right to take it, including one's own.

## 3.2.       How to Vainquish Suffering

Men the globe all over are brothers in suffering. We have all come to life to suffer. Men and women of the human race are all brothers and sisters in suffering.  We all go thru this life of suffering owing not to a choice, but a solemn acceptance of transcendent nature that we have duly made. We are all each and every one of us very old, millennia and millennia old, because the Tree of Life is old, very old. Few men of this generation are aware that the chromosomes that they bear have been directly passed on to them from immediate lineage thru Ancestry. Although we remain unaware and constitutionally suffer from short memory span, our individual lives represent the continuation of a thread of lives flowing thru the branches of the Tree. Consequently an individual human life belongs in a generational context, every life exists and is ontologically conditioned with the contextual markers proper to a particular Ancestral Lineage. In all, the evolution of the human race as a Tree is one and is deployed thru the ages. It does not know of time however, because again time does not exist. Time only exists in phase space within coordinate space. If we could ascertain to think outside of the familiar timeline, and view the world in terms of correlations thru cyclicity, we would begin to have an overarching view of our lives, individually and collectively, both from a societal and ancestral viewpoint \-- Time is persistently preventing us from connecting the dots. Perhaps then, memory in individual mentation would regain fullness as a new sprout of higher consciousness emerges as well.

Book of Life, King Solomon: What exists has already been, and what will be has already been, for God will call to account what has passed. (Ecclesiastes 3:15)

And I have found the dead who have already died even happier than the ones alive who are still well alive. And even happier than both, those who have not yet existed and have not yet seen the misdeeds commonly committed under the sun[6]. (Ecclesiastes 4:2-3)

Suffering is a result of the experiential sum total of the inner workings of the sap in the Human Tree of Life. In the primordial value system concerning human culture, everything is secondary to suffering. No one can dethrone her. Because the sap of the Tree, which was presumed to only be Quintessential Bounty, had been corrupted by Men with evil, God has seized suffering and turned it around to put it at the service of Bounty. Therefore God had erected the fire of suffering as the pivot of human culture and created the institution of spiritual Martyrdom deployed by the army of Angels and Archangels within human culture. In the West, this doctrine is orchestrated within the Catholic Church which is essentially a Redemptory Church.

Fig 3.1.- Shroud of Turin, in which Yeshua the Lord Redemptor was buried following his martyrdom. The two iconographic designs at each side of the shroud is not as conjectured an artifact of raging fire in which it had been involved and bears a much more transcendent meaning. This shroud represents yet another "empirical" challenge to secular Enlightenment and its methods.

No one can vainquish suffering. But God. The Angels do not and cannot lie, do not and cannot foul and as faithfully as intractably execute God's desires and will, simply because they univocally participate of God's Quintessential Bounty. The act of destruction of self or dismemberment at a butcher's hand represents the most profound realization of pain there may be. To submit oneself to this calvary and emerge from it is to totally vainquish pain, fear, violence and death. As difficult and painful as our lives may be, none or very few among us know the deep pains of dismemberment and violent obliteration of self. Thru the ritual of submission to destruction of Self, God and the Angels exemplify for mankind how to vainquish the Self, which is the prime instantiator of evil and violence. Because death is never an end, the Most High Spirit so exemplifies how to become grander beyond the Self. This program for Mankind, when viewed in its fullness, is Redemption. The Prophets in all Religions carry out the Redemptory Apostolate of the Angels.

 Not because one is aware of transcendence and ascension beyond death, does any soul not already suffer from the prospect of violence in martyrdom. The soul is profoundly mutilated in the quest and wait for destruction of Self. The most important of all charismatic virtues is that of martyrdom. The Lord of Lords knew the reason for his Life, suffered the hell of his impending execution on the Mount of Olives, even hesitated for a moment and invoked once again the Father before delivering Himself to Evil. But because he knew that martyrdom was his fate as well as the meaning of his Life, he finally told vacillating Pontius Pilate to let go and do what he had to do.

The Apostle Peter was to follow in the footsteps of the Lord in exercising the charismatic function of Martyrdom. At his crucifixion, he became the rock on which the Redemptory Church of God in the West was to be erected: Saint Peter, chief of Catholic Redemption.

Fig 3.2.- Simon Peter, Chief of the Catholic Tradition

## 3.3.       Counter-Action of Evil

In most cultures under the Sun, Man has come to believe in the existence of a place, outside of this world, where one can only experience pain and suffering and call this place Hell. We represent this place as one of blazing fires all over. If Hell and its ubiquitous fires really existed, it would be nowhere else than the plasmic world inside the Sun Star that lives in the midst of us. And most notably, it would be or would include the super heightened heat corona all around her globe. Ironically, the Sun Star does not set anything or anyone ablaze from her central abode, and stands for the giver of life to everything and every being in the Zenith. If Hell exists, it stands to better reason to represent it as life on earth, or life in Good and Evil. It is even more ironic that we hold the belief that Hell is the place we go to purge the faults committed in this Life. That is adding insult to our own injuries. Hell is nowhere else and is nothing else than the order of Life that we have created for ourselves here below, having renounced to the practice and ontology of pure Quintessential Bounty by engaging in Evil as well for generations. If one takes the time to think about it, it soon becomes clear that our condition is that of counterfeit or counter face of all things nature or natural. So it is because, as I have said before, the price of evil is self-deconstruction and a de-natured rapport with our environment. The first con-volution that we have inflicted to ourselves, specifically to our processes of cogitation, is to have de-natured the perception of space and correlational motion in space with the profound distortion of a fictitious metric of time adjoint to coordinate space. Interestingly, it is Saint Augustine who has said about the elusive definition of time: "If you don't ask me, I know what time is, but the moment you ask me, I can no longer tell what it is..." The universal truth is that in no circumstance can one ever formulate any definition of time whatsoever, since it does not exist. Yet our minds are all embroiled in it, in modernism thanks in no small measure to the institution of Science.

## 3.4.        To Elect Good and Evil or Absolute Goodness

Both laymen and the learned must come to understand that the fictitious metric of time is a profound mental handicap and that, by creating time, we have lost or spoiled our natural relationship with space or coordinate space. That is why our memory span is unnaturally short, despite common belief to the contrary. Anyone who understands how memory works understands that it develops from associations and correlations. If we were to ban the elusive notion of time in our minds as the connecting thread of events and let our complex processes develop on the strict basis of ontological correlations and correlational motion of objects in space, then our mnemonic capacity would explode to become eidetic. If you are a skeptic, you are one against yourself and your skepticism partakes of the very counterfeiting action that the experience of evil inflicts upon your own mentation processes. Young children who live in that notorious innocence, an expression of univocal and exclusive goodness and estrangement to evil, experience many traits of a superior mental condition and even perception that many have witnessed and testified to. Man is born with quasi absolute goodness and learn evil culturally by observation and education. As evil rapidly corrupts the absoluteness of Goodness in an individual, the descent in Hell is initiated and deepens more and more, with individual innate faculties and capacities reverting themselves to become profoundly distorted and counter-productive.

The price of evil is pain and suffering. It is incumbent on God and only God to put an end to human suffering. The history of Evil under the sun is so abundant that Men hold no power to the termination of pain and suffering. And no one knows when God will not want any longer to put Self to the utter chaos of Redemptory Death. Solace for Man comes, and it is only solace, from Epiphany. It is written in Matthew 4:4 that "Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God." Man cannot redeem self and cannot build merits for self in order to overwhelm pain and suffering and make it cease. If that was possible, it would amount at the end to self pardon. Whatever Man does, it is only the pain and suffering as an outcome of the experience, whatever the nature of the latter, that can provide redemption, not by Man's own measure, but only by God absolute justice which is inaccessible. What Man can and shall do is to put eyes and ears to God's presence, in the quest for wisdom, in the full understanding that God is the God and Goodness within, within self and within All. The Book of Life, which has been given in so many different versions, according to Culture, whether Bible, Quran, Gita, or Cosmic scripting, has no other purpose. No man shall ever believe that bliss, or a detachment from pain and suffering, is for them to reach as a reward of any undertaking judged to be of good nature, not even the quest for wisdom, thru the universal conscience of the Good or Epiphany. So it is because no human is born with the knowledge of his or her own redemptory measure, not his or her own, not the one attached to him or her by Ancestral lineage, which is an absolute indiscernible. Ultimately every man is responsible for the entire Tree.

No man shall ever measure self against other man. All men are equal, because they are equal in their pain and suffering here below, whether they are in the condition of kings or subjects. It is well reported that Moses himself could not go on to see the Promised Land. The poor is not worth more than the rich, the rich is not worth more than the poor. The smart is not worth more than the dunce, the dunce is not worth more than the smart. Moses as a shepherd could not see the Promised Land which the herd did get to see, despite his long nurturing of the herd. There is only one Hierarchy, which is a result of the transcendent Cosmic axis, and it is that of Responsibility. It is not a Hierarchy of values or worth by distinction. The Tree of Life is a Cosmic Hierarchy of Expansion. It is only thru the unrelenting and uncompromising exercise of absolute Good that every being directly and straightforwardly partakes of this evolution.

## 3.5.       Future of Man is to Come Back to God

 The future of Men is no other than God. The fate of Men is to come back to God. God is there. God is everywhere. In the catacombs of an atom, the heart of a Man or the boundless foliates of the Cosmos. All the parts of God amount to no other than God. Do avert no more a look at your God, S-He sees you, S-He listens to you, S-He watches you, S-He knows you. God sees and makes you see. But for millennia, Men have lost the sight of God. Because a man on earth had turned up so many stones, he now can only see God by looking inside of self. God needs no more priests and interpreters. God is now hopeless, looking for you and waiting for you. If you know and have felt the despair of a mother who has lost a child to the oblivion of a crowd or the oblivion of death, then you know a bit of what God's despair for men on earth feels like. Speak to God, but speak in his/her language, the silence of night that is, and in words which resonate like the sound of one hand in clapper or the trace of the eagle in the sky (Proverb 30:19).

Read God. Read and inquest sacred Liturgy, but know that you have only read God when wisdom transpires thru the written word to your spirit and soul. Read to the letter, but read and read the hints; Enlightenment is in the foliate of hints. In King Solomons's writings, the mystical King who built the First Temple for the peoples of the West, wisdom is in display in many folds. If you want to profess Geocentrism or Anthropomorphism, for God's sake, do not make King Solomon their proponent. For the expression "under the Sun" comes back countless number of times in the Book of Ecclesiastes, which it truly epitomizes. To nurture and feed the spirit is also to avoid causing it to hurt: it is indeed written that to scandalize the spirit is to sin. That is why Revelation is in the language of imagery, metaphors, nuance, evocation, softness of the verb which at the end is all poetry, magic of the Angels. It was the King's firm intention to so reveal the origins of human life and describe its unfolding and history here below on earth, under the jurisdiction of the Sun Star as it is. Human intelligence must acknowledge, when the dust settles down at the end, that there is a deep contradiction between Heliocentrism and Anthropomorphism, and that Heliocentrism necessarily implies Animism or Higher Teleology. If the Star of the Zenith is the first Purveyor and Regent of Life in this arena of the Cosmos, then Men must mandatorily fall under her jurisdiction. And if S-He is God or partakes of God Universal, then S-He must have created Self, exactly in the terms expressed in Astrophysical science as to the globules of Stars observed emerging from the nebular spreads in the Cosmic Heavens, and well in accordance with ancient Animist beliefs.

Fig 3.3.- Quintessence in Human ontology: how to understand  
self and the foundations of diversity thru the Mystery of Holy Trinity.

So therefore, read King Solomon's wisdom. Read the King's Book of Songs and understand the Mystery of Holy Trinity or One God in Three Persons as derived from the Cosmic Tradition, not by Church's own Liturgy as argued by seculars. We must achieve peace and unity in the Global Culture before any meaningful momentum toward Human Ascent to the Cosmos, the most fundamental itinerary of Project Life. Understand that Equilibrium between Knowledge and High Spirit is Renaissance or the beginning of Wisdom and Peace, that is to also say Civilization.

## 3.6.       Conclusion

You brace yourself for a moment and think for yourself: Is it really that bad? Are our lives really that gloomy and disconsolate? I am a happy chick. I want to be happy. I have a lovely wife (or a magnificent husband) and we love each other so much.  I have children that I enjoy every minute of life. I have good neighbors, we enjoy our frequent backyard parties. I travel quite often to see the wonderful world out there and from time to time go on cruise in the Mediterranean or the Caribbean. I have money and life is wonderful. I can be happy and want more and more happiness in my life. True, the world seems to be always in social unrest, but it is really not that bad. My goal is blissfulness for myself and my loved ones.

I hear you... I hear you... All I can say is this:

What God had created on the globe of his earth, was a garden of wonders, in flora and fauna, for Adam and Eve to grow and multiply and nurture, for the cause of the Expansion and in the practice of inflexible Bounty. But their heirs have sought and found many detours.

So therefore...

Young man, enjoy your youth, settle your heart for happiness during the days of your youth. Go by your heart's desires and what your eyes can admire and enjoy. Don't ever be saddened and enjoy your good health... But know that all of that God will weigh in judgment. And remember well your Creator in the days of your youth, before the evil days come and the years draw near of which you will say, "I have no pleasure in them"; 2 before the sun and the light and the moon and the stars are darkened and the clouds return after the rain, 3 in the day when the keepers of the house tremble, and the strong men are bent, and the grinders cease because they are few, and those who look through the windows are dimmed, 4 and the doors on the street are shut—when the sound of the grinding is low, and one rises up at the sound of a bird, and all the daughters of song are brought low— 5 they are afraid also of what is high, and terrors are in the way; the almond tree blossoms, the grasshopper drags itself along, and desire fails, because man is going to his eternal home, and the mourners go about the streets— 6 before the silver cord is snapped, or the golden bowl is broken, or the pitcher is shattered at the fountain, or the wheel broken at the cistern, 7 and the dust returns to the earth as it was, and the spirit returns to God who gave it. 8 Vanity of vanities,... all is vanity.

Ecclesiastes 12:1-10

# Postface

The aim of planetary exploration today shall not be to plant an American or Russian flag on the moon or on Mars, or a European flag on a comet and to self appropriate pieces of Cosmic estates. Consider that at the Cosmic Shell, there is in principle no possible order of possession but sharing of Responsibilities. For sure, the primeval order that reigns in the Cosmos is not the supremacist order of Self, but the majestuous order of promotion of Life. This is the regime that had been implanted by the Mother Star of the human Zenith, an inheritance of Galactic origin. It is the Order of Responsibility for Others, the universal instantiation of Nurture. This order permeates the entire Universe, aka Omniverse, as much as it sustains the same. In finding meaning and justification to space exploration, Men should first wonder whether or not bringing supremacy to space is in accord with peace and harmony of the Cosmos, what finding or lack thereof may be consequential to that attitude or vision, as well as what form a pushback may possibly take. If the supremacist vision is unable to figure this out, then it shall know that Religion is Cosmic Culture as the latter relates to Man.

[4] This passage is wrongly translated in King James English version of the Bible as: "God sovereignly made me—the first, the basic— before he did anything else. I was brought into being a long time ago, well before Earth got its start." It fails to report the literal translation for the original expression "the globe of his earth", in lieu of "before Earth got its start." In that sense it is more of an abusive interpretation than a faithful translation.

[5] I added the word "both", which is intended in the text but syntactically omitted. It is semantically required in order to make the statement intelligible to anyone, and not as trivial as it would appear.

[6] It is a very unfortunate fact that the English language translations of the Bible are very abusively interpretative instead of remaining syntactically faithful to the original text. This is another example of this deficiency. I have made the above translation from a French version of the Bible by the Universal Biblical Alliance, catering to faithful transliteration.
