Models of God, Humanity, and Nature My Experiences, Thoughts, and Criti
Models of God, Humanity, and Nature My Experiences, Thoughts, and Critical Analyses I ask a lot of questions Im a inquiring person. I at a time asked my mom why people die, why there are crowing things in the world if God is so good and all-powerful. Her response was that we besides couldnt really understand why God does anything because we cant comprehend Gods master plan. Im current that she was right, but that response is not very satisfying to a curious little boy. I saw an inconsistency in my understanding of reality, and I wanted to get things straight. I gauge this little anecdote begins to garnish a couple of my basic breeding principles. A concise chronicle of how I look at the world is just this We humans, as bounded beings, use models to understand complex things God, Nature, Humanity and in doing so essential simplify things. Theres nothing wrong with this simplification, as gigantic as we know we are doing so and why. Our models of these compl ex things can be based on a number of things usually logic, evidence, and our experiences (Im likely exluding a powerful wholeness, namely tradition). These varying models of reality, however, must be internally and externally reconciled that is, with themselves and with other models used by a single(a) person. When the models used by a person are internally or externally inconsistent with themselves or with logic, evidence, or experiences, the first reaction is probably confusion (or maybe anxiety), but in the continued search for consistency, one can arrive at further insight and a in demand(p) level of comfort in oneself and the way one views reality. I guess this is sometimes called the search for the meaning of life, although thats a rather yard phrase for ... ... Humanity, and Nature are inter-connected internally and externally, I must cook to understand these relationships, and in doing so, I must work to maximize the exercise and well-being of all things related to me, directly and indirectly, consciously and unconsciously. Additionally, I must treat all manner of things (entities perhaps) as subjects, rather than objects, recognizing that each has a level of being and enjoyment that it can attain, with the help of me and the rest of the world. I must work to avoid and eliminate violence of all forms by using memory, empathy, imagination, and true forgiveness to short-circuit the cycle. If I live my life in a continual state of change, using creative, responsive, and responsible go to sleep persuasively to acheive a higher level of good, then I result be living in a way thats consistent with process theologys Christianity.
