Redefining sacred: Eureka St. Sometime in the distant past people consciously differentiated [good and evil]. It had been there all the time as the root of evolution. Good brings life and fitness, evil unfitness and death.
Some people obtain good by doing evil to others. This too is a natural strategy. We all want to have babies but there is a limit to the abundance of the environmental services and so there come a time when I can only get more by taking it from someone else, even if it requires violence. It is after all better to die fighting to get more (with some hope of success) than to succumb passively to starvation. A lot of this is still going on in the world and the haves are naturally resisting attempts to democratize their wealth and

power. The right wing thinks this is the way things must be and attribute their place among the haves to their own superior fitness. The left feel, on the other hand, that we can manage the world so that we can all be haves at the expense of no have-nots.
There is a tension between imagination and reality, which arises because reality is initially more constrained than imagination = permutation.

Running out of scriptural steam over Easter, perhaps because I see the enormity of the propaganda campaign that promises an eternal life of bliss in return for not eating of the tree of good and evil. Thinking is hard and so naturally repulsive to many people. The consequence of not thinking, however, is extinction. since the purpose of thinking is to enable us to track reality.
At present we might say tht the human world is in a mess. What has changed in my lifetime is not so much the nature of the mess but our perception of it. Deaths from war, disease and starvation seem to be generally trending down while media coverage and person to person communication are expanding vigorously driven by the parallel searches for peace and excitement -- rather like Luna Park : error free thrills. One looks at the rusted bolts and frayed hydraulic hoses and hopes that these people throwing machines are regularly inspected and tested,. Very few people get killed in Luna Parks, more in skydiving and base jumping.

I spend a lot of time bogged down in physics because I think that is where the point of contact (or non-contact) between God and the world is to be found. Is God other than the physical world? Yes and No. God embraces the physical world, depends upon it but us much much more.
On meaning : the 'God particle'. -- to Cern or somewhere.
As the stock market goes down I console myself by trying to find the words that will make me rich and save the world.
From a capitalist point of view I have invested a lifetime in the divine Universe and am seeking ways to get an income from the investment -- capital.
Navigating the spirit world. An app that tells you what to do, working on a maximum entropy algorithm.
Ultimately we must communicate through a personality , concreting the Universe is divine to I am God.
This is God speaking. The world is God speaking.

Still waiting for some inspiration to come out of myself. Confident that it will happen, but feel as though I am just marking time working for money until then.
