Always the same about the same

Relativity is not absolute, therefore it is not true !

Intellectual relativity

Since the fallen soul can no longer live in the reality of absolute being it enters a relative actuality, an intellectual existence, in which it is constantly becoming and never being who it truly is in reality. It projects a negative image of its being, the idea of an individual self, into the artificial actuality of civilization, where it is held captive, conditioned and deformed by the false environment of the city, from which there can be no escape without an existential faith which reintroduces the absolute, spiritual categories into this world of intellectual relativity.

You can't get there from here!

I stopped a fellow once on a Jerusalem street and asked for directions to a certain place. He thought for a few minutes, turning in different directions contemplating the possibilities and finally threw his arms up in the air saying “you can't get there from here!”

Such is my thought and its conclusions for those unfamiliar with it. “You can't get there from where you are at!'  

the Self is not real!

Relativity is the universal actuality in which we live and move, in which we exist. Our existential being transcends this relativity.  It is both imminent and immanent, but its essential character is immanence. Our being is absolute. It is precisely the self, the image of our being projected into our actuality, that is relative, and therefore not real.

the falsity of intellectual existence

The whole intellectual structure of humankind, civilization and its precedents, its underlying concepts, is a false image of the reality of being, a mimicking of truth, in the same way that ethics, based on relative values, seeks to replace morality, based on absolute principles. This understanding of the world, of the universe of relativity, requires an acceptance of the necessity of the absolute, the sole necessity, sensible only to faith.

You might think that after millennia on the earth and several thousand years of so-called civilization humankind's accumulated knowledge would have been assimilated by all and ignorance would be a thing of the past. Such is not the case! You might also think that after the billions of children that have been born and raised a norm would have been developed that allows each child to reach his or her full potential as a human being and as a member of a just society but, unfortunately, this is also not the case.

The task of cosmology, I would think, is to reconcile the relative with the absolute, that is to say, the relative universe with the absolute void. This, of course can only be done on a level of transcendence, which postulates the void as spiritual. So cosmology, as every other science, is nullified and we must move into the realm of dogmatics. The task is to hold on to faith. What do you believe?
