On The Nature of God (duality)

Hieroglyph for Ra.

Ra, the main of the Ancient Egyptian deities, was “described” as:

He who is and is not.

–There should be a source out there.

Whereas this very could be straight up gimmick, I do believe God indeed has a dual Nature.

Which would be:

1. Ontological

As what Parmenides called Being, or that which Plato called Good, later Aristotle, Existence.

2. Personal

As creator of the Universe (similar to what Plato referred to as Demiurge), and,

A personal Supreme Entity, Unique and of Divine Nature, which actively intercedes in human History and each of our personal histories.

Born every minute 35: Theist Manifesto (Told on Instagram)

Front. “Nacido cada minuto”

As you can all see, today I’ve been translating and uploading The Theist Manifesto to my website.

You can find those and other works on Kobo‘s EPUB version of the Original Spanish Nacido cada minuto.

Or, you could use a Brian. 😛

Theist Manifesto: Page 50

You have to find a reason.

One that will make your boat float.

And this is mine:

Each hour, each minute, second;

Each very second,

This world is a little bit more interconnected:

Someone just learnt a word in another language.

Everybody. Everybody keeps on reading faster.

Written languege. It isn’t natural.

Written languege isn’t natural.

We are internalizing it.

Each of us. At each second.

You have to find a reason.

A reason to find hope.

And this is mine.

Vanitas vanitatum (emptiness of emptiness)

And you are just fulfilled. Lying on the bed or on tve cauch.

Sitting. Walking. On your own or with others. Fulfilness.

Something that dies,

To be filled one day. Be it with cigarretes, and another one, an another one… Alcohol. Cannabis or pills.

To buy clothes or technology. To buy. To buy.

If you have bad luck, you may end up using cocaine or heroin.

A gap. A hole. Nothingness.

It doesn’t fill, it doesn’t fill…

Because you understand life as a flame, something that burns you.

A disgusting burnout from cradle to grave…

Sure they say if you have money this just rocks.

Theist Manifesto: Page 46

A pessimistic

Is someone realistic who happens to be well informed. To feel anything but protected.

Anything but loved.

A flower of Datura, you grew in a wasteland.

A flower of Datura. You’ll endure any draught. Nothing for beginners.

How easy is self-deceit. To negate the deepest of yourself: Any of the sweetest fruits.

Honey of orange blossom itself. For life is a garden.

You grow the good things, toss the bad ones.

And if you can’t harvest from nothingness:

You plant hope in a fallow that now you know transitory.
