Deity and Reality

105:0.1To even high or­ders of uni­verse in­tel­li­gences in­fin­ity is only par­tially com­pre­hen­si­ble, and the fi­nal­ity of re­al­ity is only rel­a­tively un­der­stand­able. The hu­man mind, as it seeks to pen­e­trate the eter­nity-mys­tery of the ori­gin and des­tiny of all that is called real, may help­fully ap­proach the prob­lem by con­ceiv­ing eter­nity-in­fin­ity as an al­most lim­it­less el­lipse which is pro­duced by one ab­so­lute cause, and which func­tions through­out this uni­ver­sal cir­cle of end­less di­ver­si­fi­ca­tion, ever seek­ing some ab­so­lute and in­fi­nite po­ten­tial of des­tiny.

105:0.2When the mor­tal in­tel­lect at­tempts to grasp the con­cept of re­al­ity to­tal­ity, such a fi­nite mind is face to face with in­fin­ity-re­al­ity; re­al­ity to­tal­ity is in­fin­ity and there­fore can never be fully com­pre­hended by any mind that is subin­fi­nite in con­cept ca­pac­ity.

105:0.3The hu­man mind can hardly form an ad­e­quate con­cept of eter­nity ex­is­tences, and with­out such com­pre­hen­sion it is im­pos­si­ble to por­tray even our con­cepts of re­al­ity to­tal­ity. Nev­er­the­less, we may at­tempt such a pre­sen­ta­tion, al­though we are fully aware that our con­cepts must be sub­jected to pro­found dis­tor­tion in the pro­cess of trans­la­tion-mod­i­fi­ca­tion to the com­pre­hen­sion level of mor­tal mind.
