Unmoved mover --> uncreated creator.
PURIFICATION = ERROR CORRECTION (sin, darkness, malfunction are all symptoms of error which may be seen generally as the failure of a process to yield the customary results).
Synopsis / Source; an essay on personality.
Jung page 39: 'I am forced to admit that the unconscious is capable at times of manifesting an intelligence and purposiveness superior to the actual conscious insight.' Which is
[page 15]
of course the result of largely unconscious processes. The complexity of the network system that sustains our lives is beyond the comprehension of any individual, though it might eventually become fully known in the psycho-bio-physical community. Jung
The mind of a newborn is coupled into the human and environmental networek and grows from there.
Jung page 40: '. . . there is bound to be an illimitable and indefinite addition to every personality, because the latter consists of a conscious and observable part which does not contain certain factors whose existence, however, we are forced to assume in order to explain the observable facts. The unknown factors form what we call the unconscious [transparent to the user] part of the personality.'
I am a hierarchical network of communicating sources.
page 46: 'He did not think -- he perceived his mind functioning.'
page 47: 'But one thing is certain -- that modern man, Protestant or otherwise, has lost the protection of the ecclesiastical walls erected and reinforced so carefully since Roman days and because of this loss has approached the zone of the world-destroying and world-creating fire. Life has become quickened and intensified. Our world is shot through with waves of uneasiness and fear.' [1937]
In the divine world everything is sacred and nothing is sacred, and so all things must be subjected to the same impartial analysis to see whether and how they work and how they help or hinder the process toward a peaceful human condition.

UN: Peace through bureaucracy ? There must also be action and energy seems to be equipartitioned between thought (potential) and action (kinetic).
Jung page 59: '. . . my observations . . . . . . prove only the existence of an archtypal God-image, which to my mind is the most we can assert about God psychologically. But it is a very important and influential archetype, its relatively frequent occurrence seems to be a noteworthy fact for any theologia naturalis. And since experience of this archetype has the quality of luminosity, often in very high degree, it comes into the category of religious experiences.'
Error : breakdown of communication : confusion, division and strife (page 60n).
page 62: '. . . if [religious experience] means anything, it means everything to those who have it."
'One could even define religious experience as the kind of experience which is accorded the highest value, no matter what its contents may be.'
page 81: 'Religion is relationship to the highest or most powerful value, be it positive or negative.
page 89: 'I am not, however, addressing myself to the happy possessors of faith, but to those many people for whom the light has gone out, the mystery has faded, and God is dead. For most of them there is no going back, and one does not know either whether going back is always the better way.
[page 17]
Jung page 111: But since the dogma [of the Trinity] stands in a relationship of living reciprocity to the psyche, whence it originated in the first place, it expressed many of the things I am endeavouring to say over again, . . . '
Each of us has our own god, our dual, which is the set of all corresponding sources. God is instantaneously who we are communicating with at that moment, through channels at all layers down to the initial singularity, since we propose that the whole universal computation process comprises instances of the initial singularity.
The animosity between different religious groups often exceeds what is fair in fair trade. The answer proposed here is to produce a wrapper, an instance of natural religion which contains all the other religions. This wrapper is intended to be isomorphic to the Universe within which we and all our thoughts, works and institutions exist.
What we are trying to do is write the kernel of a general religion, such that all religions existing are children of the kernel, the root object.
So an option is to bite the bullet and become a religious activist, which I have always ben really, but my action has been a long and sometimes intense period of developing a new religious paradigm. That is done by simply erasing the not from the sentence 'God is not the World', and following up the consequences of this alternative union of God and the World. Now that I feel
A tree defines both the similarities and differences of its

leaves because each is on a unique route from its unique root.
All the ancient religions are text bound, having their origins in a set of texts and their outlooks coloured by their interpretation of the sacred text. For natural religion, the sacred text is god, that is the Universe itself [as it reveals itself to us]. This is not a static text in the ancient sense, but each message passing between us and our environment is a stationary point in the universal dynamics. The solution to Parmenides problem is [to be found in fixed point theory].
The world is a set ordered locally by 1/2 dimension of time and three dimensions of space.
TIME is READ ONLY (we cannot influence our position in time. SPACE is READ and (to some extent) WRITE.
Religion is the layer of software that uses us.
One cannot speak until one has an appropriate level of certainty ranging from gossip-level to life and death level. Much religion bears on matters of life and death, so we need a high degree of certainty. Certainly I fel that I am more certain of natural religion than the Catholic Religion from which I started.

Jung: Answer to Job
[page 19]
Jung page 369: '[Job] cannot deny that he is up against a God who does not care a rap for any personal opinion and does not recognise any form of ethics as binding. This is perhaps the greatest thing about Job, that faced with this difficulty, he does not doubt the unity [consistency ?] of God. . . . as certain as he is of the evil in Yahweh, he is equally certain of the good.'
'Yahweh, how much longer will you hide? For ever?' Psalm 89:46. Natural religion is Y's coming out (and all his peers). KJV: Psalm 89
Natural religion embraces all religions as the Universe embraces all human existence and activity, from war to love.
If natural religion promises any heaven, it is heaven on earth, and if it shows any way to this heaven, it is enlightened cooperation and fair trade.
Jung page 378: '[Yahweh's] thunderings at Job so completely miss the point that one cannot help but see how much he is occupied with himself' -- a literary image of the similarity between Yahweh and the self-centered and rapacious warlords who make life a misery then and now. The people have to control these violent ones if they are to live in peace.
The rulers often use religious ideas and blame the gods for the suffering and death which they themselves cause.
The theological backbone of this site is an exploration of the consequences of revising our relationship with god. Rather than seeing ourselves as outside god, here we see ourselves as inside god, part of it, particles in an infinite divine Universe.
[page 20]
We can expect to feel much safer in a world with predictable, engineerable properties. than in a world ruled by arbitrary and thoughtless tyrants interested only in extracting value from the population.
Later I can start raving about my visions of god like the prophets of old, when the scientific foundation is seen to be solid.
Jung page 383: 'Yahweh is a phenomenon and, as Job says, "not a man".' A king, absolute ruler, dictator.
page 384: 'At one moment Yahweh behaves as irrationally as a cataclysm; the next moment he wants to be loved, honoured, worshipped and praised as just. He reacts irritably to every word that has the faintest suggestion of criticism while he himself does not care a straw for his own moral code if his actions happen to run counter to its statutes.' A king above the law, the source of law.

Terrorists are elements of the warlord layer, communication by physical violence, only fair trade between armies if at all and not between armed and unarmed people.
I was educated to take a cosmic global view of the world and now that I have one I am beginning to document it more seriously and look for applications.

Time is a read only parameter, a system clock that waits
[page 21]
for no man or anything else. All processes are counted out by a local clock whose rate is determined locally.
A comlex number represents an angle and varying complex number a varying angle - rotation. We count rates of rotation relative to one another, a clock unit simply being an arbitrary frequency, once per second.
We can reconcile absolutely simple dynamics with stationary boundaries bounding the motion (eg a bearing) as predicted by fixed point theorems which forge the connection bounded, convex <--> fixed point.

The Theology Company wants to start a chain reaction, go viral as opposed to forcefully marketing itself, pushing an inferior product uphill.In modern physics potential is an active force that we represent symbolically by a differential equation, the invariant of the potential. Love makes the world go round, Money makes the world go round, potential makes the world go round. But nothing 'makes' the world go round, it simply goes round, and potential is one side of the duality we use to describe that motion in stationary terms.
The key to life is to feel heavenly all the time and love can do it.
[page 22]
The core of natural religion is to identify the necessities and make virtues of them and propagate the idea that we can achieve massive increases in productivity and decreases in footprint if we integrate globally, but such an integration needs a very effective error correcting mechanism whose political manifestation is democracy.
We can explain all we like, but in individual instances things just happen that way.
Making a relationship net seriously increases the bandwidth, right down to the molecular level.
I like to snuggle into bed and feel delicious -- all my needs are met, I am enjoying a vision of god, perhaps not the vision of God Aquinas imagines in the prima secundae, but fully real for all that. Thomas Aquinas

Why am I so attracted to women? it is a consequence of the dynamics of reproduction back in the days of evolutionary adaptation. We see it among animals like our dogs that cannot resist a mating opportunity.
