| | Quote: | | “I do KNOW of a power of a very personal nature and an irresistible influence. I call it ‘God.’ I use this term because it has been used for this kind of experience since time immemorial. From this point of view any gods, Zeus, Wotan, Allah, Yahweh, the Summum Bonum, etc., have their intrinsic truth. They are different and more or less differentiated expressions or aspects of one ineffable truth.” |

| | Quote: | "The One is all things and no one of them; the source of all things is not all things; all things are its possession- running back, so to speak, to it- or, more correctly, not yet so, they will be.
But a universe from an unbroken unity, in which there appears no diversity, not even duality?
It is precisely because there is nothing within the One that all things are from it: in order that Being may be brought about, the source must be no Being but Being's generator, in what is to be thought of as the primal act of generation. Seeking nothing, possessing nothing, lacking nothing, the One is perfect and, in our metaphor, has overflowed, and in its exuberance has produced the new: this product has turned again to its begetter and been filled and has become its contemplator and so an Intellectual-Principle." |

| | Quote: | "One grand great life throbs through earth's giant heart, And mighty waves of single Being roll From nerve-less germ to man, for we are part Of every rock and bird and beast and hill, One with the things that prey on us, and one with what we kill." |
~Oscar Wilde, (Panthea)
| Quote: | | "God is not separate from the world; He is the soul of the world, and each of us contains a part of the Divine Fire. All things are parts of one single system, which is called Nature; the individual life is good when it is in harmony with Nature. In one sense, every life is in harmony with Nature, since it is such as Nature’s laws have caused it to be; but in another sense a human life is only in harmony with Nature when the individual will is directed to ends which are among those of Nature. Virtue consists in a will which is in agreement with Nature." |

| | Quote: | 25 There was something formless and perfect before the universe was born. It is serene. Empty. Solitary. Unchanging. Infinite. Eternally present. It is the mother of the universe. For lack of a better name, I call it the Tao.
It flows through all things, inside and outside, and returns to the origin of all things.
The Tao is great. The universe is great. Earth is great. Man is great. These are the four great powers.
Man follows the earth. Earth follows the universe. The universe follows the Tao. The Tao follows only itself. |

| I was going to wholeheartedly agree but then I suddenly wondered how my free will fits in. If God doesn't know how I will excercise my free will then the future "is outside of God."
But then I think of how someone explained it that a God while not knowing those variables would know the ultimate reality or end game.
Also fitting into this would be a God that knew all possibilities, if not the specific one a sentient being, capable of sentiently chosing a possibility, would choose |

Is this true? I wouldn't think so. It just doesn't seem possiable.
What do you guys think?
I'm sorry, I haven't read all the quotes yet. Only the first four that Aaron did. But I'll read 'em soon! I've got work in the morning, so I'm kinda fast reading here. |
