The principle philosophy is called the Heaven Path, but so far we haven’t made any mention of Heaven except in the name of the philosophy.
There seems to be a lot of strife in the world, today, the source of which seems to be the intractable question of whose book actually represents the Word of God.
Aside from the rather obvious problem of believing that a book could contain the actual Word of God in religions that purport to condemn idolatry, there is also the problem of presenting anything remotely resembling objective proof that any of these books are anything but ordinary, if supremely well-crafted, books.
In fact, the only proof of the existence of God that strikes me as even remotely objective is the statistical measure of the number of people that seem to have religious feelings, that is to say, an innate propensity to believe in some form of supreme being.
Needless to say, this strikes me as only quasi-objective proof.
However, an innate tendency to believe does strike me a solid justification for considering the ‘what ifs’ of the existence of God.
Having found the Heaven Path philosophy first, and only then considered the possibility of religious justification for such a philosophy, I discovered that the philosophy held together rather well if I simply took God at face-value.
To start, let’s look at the creation that we must attribute to God.
We have what appears to be a limitless universe of near infinite complexity, which is nevertheless absolutely consistent. No matter the mysteries we uncover, sooner or later, they fold in with our more mundane knowledge to form an uninterrupted tapestry of consistency.
And no matter how closely or broadly we look, each subsequent understanding creates a whole new level of complexity and a whole new class of questions for us to ask.
If we assume that God did all of this for a reason, that is to say with an objective in mind, I think it is safe to assume it was for a good reason.
Moreover, seeing that it is God doing the creating, I think it is safe to assume that the objective could not be achieved by any of the more God-like methods that are akin to waving the Magic Wand. For whatever reason, The Objective could only be achieved through the medium of an objective creation.
At first, it seems contradictory to assume that an omnipotent being could not create something directly, and so would have to resort to some creative medium. However, this contradiction evaporates if we assume that The Objective can only be achieved through a creation that is not directly created by God. The choice of a creative medium is not a sign of lack of omnipotence, but is instead a sign of a Godly desire to be at one remove from the creation.
In creating a medium of creation for achievement of The Objective, it seems likely that each component included in the medium would be both necessary and sufficient for achieving the objective. In other words, everything that must be included to achieve The Objective is included, and anything that is not necessary to achieve the objective is left out.
It is now a relatively short step to seeing why no proof of the existence of God is available. Proof is not necessary, and lack of proof with a propensity for religious feelings is sufficient.
This makes determining what constitutes God’s Laws quite a bit easier as well. If it is possible, it’s allowed.
But it is possible to see beyond the question of God’s Law to find God’s Principles for achieving The Objective.
Humanity, the first level of the creative medium that is able to create independently, is designed in such a way that each individual is unique both in fundamental encoding, and in precise temporal and spatial point of origin.
This tells us that the exact means and method of achieving The Objective is indeterminate. The conditions necessary for achieving The Objective are in place, but the mechanics of achieving The Objective are left to random selection.
And if God does not know, by His own choice, how the mechanics are to play out, there is no way for us to know.
Which brings us to God’s First Principle for achieving The Objective: Each Creative Being is Fundamentally Inviolate. That is to say, those who fancy themselves to be engaged in achieving The Objective must not obstruct the fulfillment potential of other creative beings beyond what is necessary to prevent them from obstructing your fulfillment potential.
Do not do unto others, that which would be obstructive if done unto you.
