Naturalistic Panentheism

So life not only seeks survival, but it is an increase in the intensity of its enjoyment. In short the more capable an organism is of perceiving and expressing truth – “Religious Self” – goodness – “Ethical Self” – and beauty – “Esthetical Self”, the more evolved it is when I consider the trinity according to Kierkegaard again. The desire to move forward the end of heightened experience is described by Whitehead as an adventure of ideas.

Within those ideas God is understood to be the original creature of Creativity, its primordinal non-temporal accident. “Creativity is the universal of universals characterizing ultimate matter of fact – embodiment or “human being” – and also that ultimate notion of the highest generality at the base of actuality – intelligence vs consciousness.“ God perpetually unifies the ongoing cosmic process by providing the initial aims and perceiving the final results of the concrescence of all finite creatures, including the universe itself. Our experience of moral ideas – our conscience – is the experience of the deity of the Universe. Although these moral ideas have such a high generality, it is so close to our inner Self, the ethical way differs so often very strong from each other. Where Tony Blair claims that the socio-political power of the religion is the most important issue for every country in the 21^st century, then inter-religious dialogue ought to be our civilization most pressing concern.

According to Whitehead there is no civilization here on earth that can continue its adventure in rationality absent a vigorous expression of the human sense of sacredness. So religions are not the answer, it’s the respect to each expression of religion, that is inherent to its culture. That’s the mythical way of conjoining Ego and Self. To discover this Mythical way is an individual process, an individuation – Jung & Steiner – in the right way by self reflection. Afterwards it can finally lead to this collectivum as Esotery shows us; as small as grand. So focussing on the way of getting there is useless, you have to keep up the main stream like panentheism shows. That is the specific and unique way for each of us, because it is as general as it can be. It’s the wholeness of emptiness, this truth is empty because of the right synthesis of all that we are dealing with ghere on earth.

So nobody within any other culture is capable to order the other individuals how this mythical way ought to be. Each specification for expression this religious way to contribute to their higher power is as unique and as general as it is. This means that at the other hand all religions here on earth – Christianity, Islam or Buddhism and others – will claim to know walking this ultimate path to spiritual love and freedom. 

As long as we respect each other. That is the beauty of cultures, that is the beauty of religions and that may be the beauty to follow your own heart in freedom. At least if we allow the other individuals to become part of this higher collectivum, Panentheism shows us, no matter what name you give the Mythic way – Planet, the place where it happens and determines how. And it’s about the Magic in each of us – People and it now is a matter of the right Mentality that will lead to our award and success – Profit.
