A Self-Concealing God - part 4

(continued from part 3......)

I have provided something of a rationale for the self-concealment of the Monad, but I've barely touched upon a mechanism, beyond invoking teleology, a-la quantum theory. It is easy to say that, with God, where there's a will, there's a way. But I am also saying that we are, at our essential cores, that self-same being, anathema though that may be to all my God-fearing brothers and sisters. As the Quakers say, there is that of God in all of us. Why would so many religious folk deny this so vehemently? How else to preach damnation?

If we are potentially One with God, why do we usually feel so feeble and ignorant? Why do we feel so lost and alienated? We can't even levitate a grain of sand. We are imprisoned in our frail bodies. What sort of preparation is this?

Instead of magic carpets, we get automobiles, while the price of fuel keeps rising. Are these consumables our only consolation?

No, we have many consolations and blessings. How many of us would trade even our most modest lives for anyone else's? It is almost unimaginable. How tightly we cling to what little we have. Queen for a day? Maybe. Queen for eighty years? I don't think so. Am I trying to excuse the rich and powerful? I doubt that is what this is.

What I do foresee is a rapture. I do foresee a metamorphosis, a phase-change in the global consciousness, that will be our apocatastasis. What is to become of our poor tired Earth?

Our best possible Earth/Creation is embedded in Eternity. It is not going away. We do not need to find other worlds to conquer, more mountains to climb. Is this all there is?

Ah, and what more might we wish for, besides the best possible Creation, a Creation wherein we are One with the Creator? Pray tell me.
