material (ontological/ontic import) cause is the boards (mind), vs formal/final (essential/thetic import) cause is the blueprints in the mind, vs efficient (existential/deontic import) cause is the mind(s) (re)placing boards to actualize/maintain blueprint
to say “not true right now means not true ever” is a part whole fallacy (composition: modo hoc)
+/-=+/- is the correct starting philosophy for the cosmos….because it’s the only philosophy that creates vibration N/S=N/S and binary code 0/1=0/1 and explains consciousness in/out = in/out (in/out of the moment consciousness states).
What came first (what is ontologically prior substance?), the category (ontology) or its members/examples (existantiation/action)? If we do not allow for an empty category (we must always ask “What referent populates this category?”), or for a category-less member/example (we must always ask, “What category is this populating?”) the answer has to be both, and the category is “merely” essential (to the observer) “until” it is both (actually, all three: category/substance, member/example/action, essence/property/force). Only to one observer is every example never “merely” essential. This observer does not merely observe from the outside, because this observer is in alignment with its observation (as a whole), which would not exist otherwise (all change subsumed in and reconciling back to the unchanging wholeness that is in all change). A true description of this (incl. a definition of The Good) does not abstract away from it & make it (the ground of The Good) superfluous; abstracting away from reality only happens when there is no referent. It’s not a mere abstraction (which would be a divergence/alienation from reality) — just a distinction [a respecting of otherness is required in unification—otherwise you are just two/three storms that cancel each other out, or one/two ends up destroying the other(s)]. Our capacity for the maximally great mirrors God’s fullness of the maximally great. We are never completely empty of the fullness — that would be an absence of existence (nothing). Rather, we are made in the image of wholeness, and cannot stay/flow wholeness (the only infinite gain that does not self/other-destruct) apart from it.
It’s about existence or life Ichthus…It’s possible to claim stuff in the cosmos and not possess life.There is no life in binary.You need to be separated from it.
You haven’t a clue about anything Ichthus…..by your own admission you will be jumping over the fence into the sheep fold with your “goodies” remember, proving that you have misunderstood….You remain totally in the dark.
Haha….is that all you can pick up on…You think you are a theist but you’re an atheists in reality Ichthus…..that is why you are unaware that you are unaware.It’s your theistic religion that sucks.
Anyone who thinks they can jump over the fence into the sheepfold might be a genuine believer in God….but it will do them no good….genuine atheists are not remotely interested in going to the party so they won’t be gate crashing the party will they.
