For everyone reading this board- here is the summary of what I'm actually about. Maybe someone will find it interesting.
1. The Nature of Facts, Logic, and Fantasy
The Challenge of Defining a Fact: The concept of a "fact" is not as straightforward as commonly believed. To assert something as fact requires a foundational logic built upon a system of axioms—unproven assumptions that underlie all logical frameworks.
The Axiomatic Dilemma: Delving into these axioms reveals an inherent limitation: at their root, they are constructs that we accept without proof. The deeper one probes into these foundations, the more one uncovers the presence of fantasy intertwined with reason. Thus, facts are not purely objective; they rely on the speculative underpinnings of the systems in which they are formulated.
Conclusion: Since logic rests upon unprovable axioms, facts are contingent, never free from the shadows of uncertainty. In this sense, fantasy exists at the heart of all logical discourse.
2. The Nature of God: Hidden Yet Inevitable
God as Unprovable and Real: The essence of God’s existence lies in its very elusiveness. The inability to find or prove God does not negate His existence; rather, it confirms it. The divine manifests itself through an exquisite paradox: God’s reality is affirmed by His absence.
The Eye Cannot See Itself: This metaphor captures the impossibility of direct perception of God. Just as the eye cannot turn upon itself, so too can God not be seen directly. God’s existence is known through what is excluded from vision—He is found in His concealment, not in what is revealed.
The Genius of God’s Hiddenness: The brilliance of God lies in the fact that He cannot be perceived or captured by human faculties. The divine genius is not in being found, but in being present through His perpetual elusiveness, always at the periphery of human understanding.
3. Gaze Theory: The Presence in Absence
Inverse Gaze: The principle of gaze operates on a subtle paradox. You know someone is aware of you not only when your eyes meet, but also when they never meet. The absence of eye contact can reveal an awareness that transcends direct interaction. Applied to the divine, this means that God is present precisely through His absence—He is seen through His hiddenness.
Social Dynamics of Gaze: In social contexts, attention is often revealed through avoidance. Ignoring someone can paradoxically draw their attention, much like how God’s hidden gaze becomes apparent through His invisibility. In this way, the topology of perception mirrors the divine interaction—what is absent is as important as what is present.
4. The Paradox of Proving God’s Existence
The Limits of Language in Defining God: Language and logic are inadequate tools for capturing the essence of God. The moment you attempt to define God, you entangle yourself in the limitations of human discourse. God exists beyond language, beyond the need for proof or evidence.
Personal Knowledge of the Divine: God is not a concept to be universally demonstrated or defined. Instead, God is personal, known uniquely to each individual, and this knowledge cannot be transmitted or shared in its entirety. The divine is a deeply private encounter that transcends communal understanding.
The Infinite Loop of Knowing and Unknowing: The more one seeks to intellectually define or capture God, the more elusive He becomes. In this paradoxical loop, God’s existence is reinforced by the very act of His avoidance—the impossibility of grasping Him directly is the proof of His being.
5. Critique of Organized Religion and Language
Catholicism as Ritualistic Atheism: You critique institutional religion, particularly Catholicism, for reducing the profound experience of God to a series of external rituals and dogmas. In doing so, it diminishes the authentic personal encounter with the divine and approaches a form of ritualistic atheism.
Language as the Devil’s Tool: You propose that language—specifically religious texts like the Bible—is inherently flawed as a medium for expressing God. These texts, rather than revealing God, often serve to obscure Him, manipulated by forces that seek to control the narrative of divinity. Words, in this view, are the domain of the devil, introducing distortions into the experience of the divine.
6. Ontology of God and the Devil
God Beyond Good and Evil: Traditional morality, which ties God to concepts of good and the devil to evil, is a misunderstanding of the divine. God transcends the moral dichotomy of good and evil. In this framework, the devil may control the narrative of good and evil, but God exists beyond such limitations.
Reframing Heaven and Hell: You propose that the concepts of heaven and hell have been linguistically distorted. Neither represents pure bliss nor eternal torture. Instead, they are states of being that humans experience, bound by the limitations of language, which has been shaped and manipulated to obscure the true nature of these concepts.
7. Language, Logic, and the Limits of Knowledge
Language as Self-Referential: Language is a self-referential system, and in trying to define God, it inevitably falls into logical loops. God, being the source of logic and language, cannot be proven or disproven using the very tools He created.
God as the Creator of Logic: Logic and words are the creations of God, and therefore any attempt to disprove God through logic is inherently flawed—like a knife attempting to cut itself. God’s existence is not a matter of proof but of ontological necessity.
8. The Personal Experience of the Divine
God Revealed Through Exclusion: God is not something one finds through direct search, but rather through understanding what is not present—the space between things, the silence between words. God exists in what is unseen, and moments of personal experience reveal the divine precisely through its absence in the tangible world.
God as the “Thing Behind the Word”: You suggest that the true essence of God is not to be found in descriptions or words, but in the space beyond them. Each individual is capable of discovering this aspect of God within themselves. God is not external but intrinsic, revealed in the self.
9. Topology and the Structure of Existence
God as the Space Between Entities: Through topology, you articulate that God exists not as an object but as the space between objects. In the structure of reality, God is the invisible framework that holds all things together, the unifying principle that cannot be quantified or directly observed but is necessary for existence.
The Inescapable Presence of God: This topological view means that God is ever-present in the connections between things, in the gaps and silences that give form to all phenomena. God is woven into the fabric of existence, imperceptible but essential.
10. The Devil’s Mastery Over Words
Language as the Devil’s Domain: You propose that the devil controls the realm of words and language, using it to distort the perception of God. Because language is an inadequate tool for expressing the divine, attempts to describe God in words inevitably fail, leading to misunderstanding and manipulation.
God in Silence and the Body: God is more closely associated with the body and with silence. Words diminish the divine, but in embodied experience—in the silence beyond speech—God can be known. Speaking of God, in this sense, is a kind of betrayal of His true nature.
Conclusion: A Higher Synthesis of Reason and Experience
Your philosophy weaves together logic, topology, ontology, and personal experience into a complex but coherent framework. Central to this view is the paradox of God’s existence: God is both unknowable and known, present through absence, and experienced personally yet never fully articulated in language.
God exists in the gaps of knowledge, in the space where logic and perception falter. Language, as a tool of the devil, can never capture the full essence of the divine, but God can be experienced in silence and through the self. The unknowable God is not a contradiction but a reflection of the limitations of human understanding—proof of His existence lies in His perpetual elusiveness.
