| Rethinking Theology: Introducing PanenDeism Larry Copling www.PanenDeism.com �2004, Larry Copling Click HERE for Part 1 Click HERE for Part 2 Click HERE for Part 3 Click HERE for Part 4 Click HERE for Part 5 Click HERE for Part 6 Continuing with Conclusion... There is much more that can be done in developing PanenDeism. As just one small example, the idea of an actual Deistic Trinity could be developed, where the three aspects of the Divine are Deity-as-Alpha (The Beginning of All), Deity-as-Omega (The Goal Achieved), and Deity-as-All (The Process as a whole). In addition, there is much that can be said about what might come after Omega. Perhaps there is a whole other reality beyond the physical universe where reincarnation is the method used to continue Process Evolution into infinity until all sentient life has re-united with the Alpha? Perhaps there is a way to develop consciousness to the point where it becomes possible to actually �pierce the veil� of some transcendent domain through meditation, or some future technical ability, that will aid in the self-evolution of our species? There are probably 100,000 things we don�t know, for every single thing we do know, but as we move forward in time, moving toward a future with SUPER-high-tech capabilities, we must seek out a spiritual philosophy that, not only embraces science and reason, but is also �open at the TOP� for where ever evolution might take us!
