OBSERVATION:
The act of observation presupposes
the consciousness of the observer which is neither entailed nor explainable in terms of the phenomena observed (i.e. the material world). This self-evident and, yet, somehow transparent, first
principle of science, through which all else is made possible, excludes --as a
direct function and consequence of the ACT of observation itself-- all positive
claims for (a) the exclusion of the unobservable, and (b) sufficiency and exclusive agency of the material.
Thus, no world restricted to the material may be deemed
natural. Nor, in the most literal sense
possible, could it be described any other way. For, it would either exist in the imagination alone, or
would bear no legitimate claim to existence at all.
Any and all advocating for this
unsubstantiated, and contradictory, belief-structure is an inherent act of
self-negation that renders immediately unto it's author the status of (a) mad
and irrational agent or (b) blind and ignorant person. In either case he is not to be listened to,
and most certainly may not be reasoned with, for he has abandoned not just
'reasonableness' but reason itself.
And just as our physical senses provide evidence of material
things, we find evidence for those forces, agencies, or intelligences that created us (which, we'll just call 'creator'), through the dimension of mind and
application of Reason.
Any person who may not, upon being
asked to do so by a skeptical inquirer, present his own consciousness to be inspected objectively is thus a Hypocrite
of the highest order(!), if his boldness in accordance with his ignorance, should cause him to ask that "G_d" (i.e. creative force) show himself -- for it could only
"be" through form if he were to satisfy the skeptic; and would
necessarily BE within the Mind of rational agents, thus Willing, having the
eyes to see.
It is clearer still, that the burden of the skeptic is not
that "G_d reveal Himself", for Intelligence is manifest in all places at all moments, it is that He should
suspend His own Laws(!) in order to fulfill the request of a selfish and
stubborn child. What possible arrogance
is this? If the skeptic insists that to
be denied is proof of G_d's lack of omnipotence, it is only implied by the fact
that He may not have foreseen such ignorance to be possible. If this constitutes a limitation of Divine power, it is
first-and-foremost invoked by the wanton destruction of he who would judge his
Creator.
For this reason, any and all
propositions within the framework of materialism, are acts that seek
simultaneously to Affirm and Deny the existence of Uncaused causes. He insists
he was not 'created' but, that he was 'caused to be'; further, he swears that
the system which created him is positively unintelligent, but that he, himself,
IS intelligent, while, at the same time denying the POSSIBILITY of ANY such
property, relation or substance that would legitimize this distinction.
There is no society or system, predicated upon such madness
of the highest (and in reality lowest) order, that could ever hope to function
in harmony, or possess integrity in any way.
Because, the self – and in fact, the very notion of Self -- has been disintegrated, just as the world of
matter and form has been dis-integrated with that most vital Dimension it
cannot exist without.
