Teleological, remix

Month, Day: Perfection, Light (Justice)

So, we're in the last month of the Teleological group. To what end can this be used? Well, just the use of the T word grates on the ears of the brights. No, they say. There's not aught but nothing. Or, it would seem, if truth be told.

That is, their view has no place for the approach being sought through audacity. Again, thought experiments along this line can be quite interesting.

The telling factor will be effectiveness, though; the issue? As measured by what? Well, we'll get to that. Why?

Everyone has the ability to assess what this topic is addressing, including the whole spectrum of humanity from the lowly, highly restrained one to that set taken to be some type of epitome (culturally defined, yet almost universally applied). The time of the two lives this year allowed us to think of how far we still need to go in this matter.

So, per the norm, the Writings are key, with some local (note, did not say loco) notion applied. For instance, take SAQ #28, please, which looks at something attributed to St. John (Yahyay, if you would).

We see: "The Word of God is sanctified from time." The note says that this refers to Christ. Later, it goes on: "Therefore, the Reality of Christ, Who is the Word of God, with regard to essence, attributes and glory, certainly precedes the creatures."

Well, we just went through the month Words (7th of 19). Using another John, of the Gospel, we know the Word precedes (SAQ #54). Too, we know that there is (has been) a periodic refreshing, so to speak.

So, the long chain of development here was somehow influenced by the comings. How? Ah, not easily told. Is it important within the framework of an enlightened science?

Well, one can talk the human side, somewhat. What applies to matter? See, Iqan #31: "Thus it is that through the rise of these Luminaries of God the world is made new, the waters of everlasting life stream forth, the billows of loving-kindness surge, the clouds of grace are gathered, and the breeze of bounty bloweth upon all created things."

No answers yet, please, as we're still into Questions. But, one dilemma of the modern view is the polarity between two extremes, namely: relativistic morality and religious fundamentalism.

Striking a balance ought to have a powerful influence. That this might be tempted is audacious, indeed.

The anticipation is that the Operational times will be very interesting.

Again, and as a final note, the cycles continue unabated. Something to be thankful for.

But, as a reminder, remember SAQ #37, the basic topological argument when we talk Words to Names, and more.

Oops, another final thought, probably elsewhere stated. This month is the only one where the western month and the Baha'i month have congruence of their starts. Some meaning there, no doubt, as significances are more than happenstance. So, we'll start the Operational with Names on 8/20.

Remarks:

04/21/2010 -- We need to upgrade to a Transcendent Topology.

11/23/2009 -- Motivational thoughts.

10/18/2009 -- Defining challenges might be an interesting task.

09/26/2009 -- An issue for the Operational view.
08/16/2009 -- The Operational group is approaching, and ontology is primal. One area of focus, as suggested by this post, will be mind-body studies. Somehow, insights from the Writings ought to have importance, teleological and operational.

08/13/2009 -- Return applies under the Teleological.

08/12/2009 -- Actually, Perfection and August are the 8th months in their respective calendars. What an interesting congruence (8/1-19)!
