I\u2019ve worked out my own theology: The cosmos is structured somewhat like the triangular designs of the Sri Yantra<\/a>, in expanding patterns of downward facing triangles met by upward facing ones.<\/p>\n

In the middle is God, sort-of, a point. The next level out is the recognition that what we call the highest is multidimensional. In India, it\u2019s the triangle, Brahma, Shiva, Vishnu. The west has the trinity, Father, Son, Holy Ghost. Other systems have a quadernity\u2014four corners.<\/p>\n

There\u2019s also the sense of levels, a ladder, a hierarchy of levels, such as the system of Jewish mysticism, the Kabbala. They have the \u201cTree of Life\u201d (Hebrew: Etz Khayim\u2014or since the letter gutteral  kh is sometimes written in English as \u201cCh,\u201d Chaim not tschaim)\u2014thus metaphysics blurs over into linguistics, as categories are wont to do.<\/p>\n

You might note that a higher dimension merely means more inclusive, rather than in any value sense \u201cbetter.\u201d Each level has it\u2019s own aesthetic values and hierarches. A plane geometric proof is as aesthetically pleasing as a tree.<\/p>\n

Mind, by the way, transcends levels, being able to experience aesthetic pleasure even at higher dimensions. Not necessarily better, though it may feel that way, but more encompassing. So back to theology and the Sri Yantra. Each level has its own sublime consciousness\u2014partaking of a level higher, but mainly focused on phenomena at that level. Beauty, harmony, a measure of disharmony enough to be interesting. <\/p>\n

Anyway, as I see it now, awaiting further input, if not in this lifetime, then by successive life-times, future people (or beings), it\u2019s mainly useful to imagine a hierarchy of sublime levels of consciousness. The evolution of life and consciousness enables those who are conscious to imagine and maybe experience ever-higher levels, and to write about these. This begins to make sense out of philosophical writings in the last few centuries.<\/p>\n

We are evolving even now. In some ways ever-faster. In some ways, because of the population explosion, \u201cde-volving.\u201d That is, visionaries are being mocked and overall respect for \u201cwise men\u201d (and women) is decreasing\u2014at least for a while. That\u2019s all for now. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
