Truth, Existence, and Possibility
Listen now
Description
This episode discusses how the world exists as a possibility, from which a reality is manifest. This manifest reality can then be known or experienced. But the manifest reality can be true, right, and good, or false, wrong, and bad. We then discuss how the difference between true, right, and good vs. the false, wrong, and bad is its incompleteness. When claims are incomplete, then to complete them, the opposite claims are incorporated, and these opposites then create cyclical change, as each opposite becomes dominant or subordinate. However, in the spiritual world, when the claims are complete, then the opposites are not required, and then the changes stop. Nevertheless, there is still "motion" which is different from "change". By understanding the difference between motion and change, we can grasp how the spiritual world is eternally active, and yet, it is different from the material world of changes. Religion, Philosophy
