Transcendent Independence

Month, Day: 167, Beauty, Beauty (Independence)

The third of the Transcendent group (first use of these) has started.

Firstly, a notion of the Station.

Aqdas (#142): Verily, He revealed certain laws so that, in this Dispensation, the Pen of the Most High might have no need to move in aught but the glorification of His own transcendent Station and His most effulgent Beauty. Since, however, We have wished to evidence Our bounty unto you, We have, through the power of truth, set forth these laws with clarity and mitigated what We desire you to observe. He, verily, is the Munificent, the Generous.

To none is given this, even royalty and peerage (a new thing to study, given its importance to what we see in the economic domain).

Aqdas (#72): It is forbidden you to trade in slaves, be they men or women. It is not for him who is himself a servant to buy another of God’s servants, and this hath been prohibited in His Holy Tablet. Thus, by His mercy, hath the commandment been recorded by the Pen of justice. Let no man exalt himself above another; all are but bondslaves before the Lord, and all exemplify the truth that there is none other God but Him. He, verily, is the All-Wise, Whose wisdom encompasseth all things.
There will be an economic flavor, as modern corporate life, for the many, is not much more than a type of bondage. That is, for all, except the CEO and a few others.

The trouble is that the lessening of any grasp of the real Operational aspects, through the advancement of mathematics via computation, has bound us all into some type servitude. The epitome of this? Zombies willingly attuned to elsewhere and when (the opposite of the here and now) via addiction to the electronic beasts and their cloud'd overseer.

Another topic will deal with Independence for us, mainly Independent Investigation of the Truth.

Transcendent topology

Month, Day: 167, Glory, Knowledge (Grace)
Month, Day: 167, Glory, Power (Justice)

Consider Aqdas (#144): All things proceed from God and unto Him they return. He is the source of all things and in Him all things are ended.

Simple enough. We are to show the operational aspects of this and to define the benefits thereof.

And, the work is for the believers who are those aware of the twin duties (and their kin) as well as being for the non-believers who are not subsumed under the brights, necessarily, as many may just not be amenable to being mentored (in general, the autodidact).

So, now being short, consider the arguments concerning underdetermination. Some concepts are 'too blunt' to support determination, and progress has come from sharpening the blade (Occam's is an example) and from adding to our observable set (limits here are too easily identified).

How the larger picture is filled in, without the Key, can be problematic. Which leads to the above quote that deals with 'from whence' among other things.

As well, a re-iteration is in order: Transcendent --> Teleological --> Operational --> Motivational --> Ascendant.

Notice, please, that Operational is the balancing feature.

Transcendent Glory

Month, Day: 167, Glory, Glory (Glory)
Month, Day: 167, Glory, Beauty (Beauty)

SAQ (54): For the Word does not signify the body of Christ, no, but the divine perfections manifested in Him. For Christ was like a clear mirror which was facing the Sun of Reality; and the perfections of the Sun of Reality—that is to say, its light and heat—were visible and apparent in this mirror. If we look into the mirror, we see the sun, and we say, “It is the sun.” Therefore, the Word and the Holy Spirit, which signify the perfections of God, are the divine appearance. This is the meaning of the verse in the Gospel which says: “The Word was with God, and the Word was God”; for the divine perfections are not different from the Essence of Oneness. The perfections of Christ are called the Word because all the beings are in the condition of letters, and one letter has not a complete meaning, while the perfections of Christ have the power of the word because a complete meaning can be inferred from a word. As the Reality of Christ was the manifestation of the divine perfections, therefore, it was like the word. Why? Because He is the sum of perfect meanings. This is why He is called the Word.

We have three more and then the Teleological before getting into the Operational.
