"Ever Rethinking the Lord's Prayer July 12 1979 To be satisfactory to science all definitions must be stated in terms of experience. I define Universe as all of humanity's in-all-known-time consciously apprehended and communicated (to self or others) experiences. In using the word, God, I am consciously employing four clearly differentiated from one another experience-engendered thoughts. Firstly I mean:_ those experience-engendered thoughts which are predicated upon past successions which are unexpected, human discoveries of mathematically incisive, physically demonstrable answers to what thereto fore had been missassumed to be forever unanswerable cosmic magnitude questions wherefore I now assume it to be scientifically manifest, and therefore experientially reasonable that scientifically explainable answers may and probably will eventually be given to all questions as engendered in all human thoughts by the sum total of all human experiences; wherefore my first meaning for God is:- all the experientially explained or explainable answers to all questions of all time- Secondly I mean;- The individual's memory of many surprising moments of dawning comprehension's of as interrelated significance to be existent amongst a number of what had previously seemed to be entirely uninterrelated experiences all of which remembered experiences engender the reasonable assumption of the possible existence of a total comprehension of the integrated significance- the meaning- of all experiences. Thirdly, I mean:- the only intellectually discoverable a priori, intellectual integrity indisputably manifest as the only mathematically stateable family of generalized principles- cosmic laws- thus far discovered and codified and ever physically redemonstrable by scientists to be not only unfailingly operative but to be in eternal, omni-interconsiderate, omni-interaccommodative governance of the complex of everyday, naked-eye experiences as well as of the multi-millions-fold greater range of only instrumentally explored infra- and ultra-tuneable micro- and macro-Universe events. Fourthly, I mean;- All the mystery inherent in all human experience, which, as a lifetime ratioed to eternity, is individually limited to almost negligible twixt sleepings, glimpses of only a few local episodes of one of the infinite myriads of concurrently and overlappingly operative sum-totally never -ending cosmic scenario serials. With these four meanings I now directly address God. "Our God- Since omni-experience is your identity You have given us overwhelming manifest:- of Your complete knowledge of Your complete comprehrension of Your complete concern of Your complete coordination of Your complete responsibility of Your complete capability to cope in absolute wisdom and effectiveness with all problems and events and of Your eternally unfailing reliability so to do Yours , dear God, is the only and complete glory. By glory I mean the synergetic totality of all physical and metaphysical radiation and of all physical and metaphysical gravity of finite but non-unitarily conceptual scenario Universe in whose synergetic totality the a priori energy potentials of both radiation and gravity are initially equal but whose respective behavioral patterns are such that radiation's entropic redundant disintegratings is always less effective than gravity's non redundant syntropic integrating Radiation is plural and differentiable, radiation is focusable, beamable, and self-sinusing, is interceptible, separatist, and biasble- ergo, has shadowed voids and vulnerabilities; Gravity is unit and undifferentiable Gravity is comprehensive inclusively embracing and permeative is non-focusable and shadowless, and is omni-integrative; all of which characteristics gravity are also the characteristics of love. Love is metaphysical gravity. (eome- note; Bucky has also described love as the synergetic interplay between these two opposite forces.) You, Dear God, are the totally loving intellect ever designing and ever daring to test and thereby irrefutably proving to the uncompromising satisfaction of Your own comprehensive and incisive knowledge of the absolute truth that Your generalized principles adequately accommodate any and all special case developments, involvement's, and side effects; wherefore Your absolutely courageous omni-rigorous and ruthless self-testing alone can and does absolutely guarantee total conservation of the integrity of eternally regenerative Universe You eternally regenerative scenario Universe is the minimum complex of totally inter-complementary totally inter-transforming non-simultaneous, differently frequenced and differently enduring feedback closures of a finite but non-unitarily conceptual system in which naught is created and naught is lost and all occurs in optimum efficiency. Total accountability and total feedback constitute the minimum and only perpetual motion system. Universe is the one and only eternally regenerative system. To accomplish Your regenerative integrity You give Yourself the responsibility of eternal, absolutely continuous, tirelessly vigilant wisdom. Wherefore we have absolute faith and trust in You, and we worship You awe-inspiredly, all-thankfully, rejoicingly, lovingly, Amen." > | ||||
