Spiritual Monism, revisited...

It is in a pseudo-Christianity in various forms. It is the people who say that you cannot say what God is like and call their ignorance humility. It is not that they disagree with you about the patterns you are talking about. What they are saying is more, "To infinity and beyond....so you cannot describe God!" Etc. I would listen to disagreement as to the patterns of this world and conforming to a pattern not of this world, yet in this word.

Spiritual monism tends to demand silence instead, which is fascism. This is because symbols and words deal in the spiritual, mental. Fascism is the modern version of an ancient thing. It is not new. We cannot be silent beings and are not designed to be, for even the very rocks cry out signs. The human deSIGNation is as listeners and observers who then develope judgment and belief. This is our big difference from animals and perhaps our greatest privilege.

This privilege is like the Lord of the Cosmos coming down to a tiny bit of humus He made and saying, "So my piece of sand on the seashore, what do you think of the little oceans I made here?" And then He actually listens to the piece of sand's opinion about the ocean, as if it knows something. Then perhaps giving it some knowledge so that it does actually know just a little something.

Since we are designed to observe, to have an answer in our heads, we answer the Maker in only two ways. Denial or belief....

The spiritual monist will deny, "It's all an act! An illusion of some delusion....so everyone is just acting to get something they want. Probably money!" Then if they see something they disagree with they will say that you are just acting too. Something like this: "Clean up your act." "You are acting like a fool." "Why are you acting?" And so on. Acting and actors.....who are all just acting a part to get something based on feelings. These are their assumptions and their faith.

The gardener who wants to read the signs and to seek and find will answer, "What is the meaning of things? Where are others who can help me find the truth? What do you think the meaning is? How can we read?"

The spiritual monists never did care about the actual truth of things in the first place, you see. They want one type of thing and pattern, their own type of delusion. What is this of Truth, con-forming, re-forming to another pattern by some in-forming? Ironically, by rejecting transcendent patterns altogether they just de-form. They all have different ways of doing this.

Some examples:
One will say, "All is finite. Nothing is really written. So you cannot say anything to me. Me holy because I say so."(Charismatic/Epicurean/active)

Another will say, "Everything is infinite and beyond understanding. No one can really read....so just have a Stoic dependence. Me holy now..."(Calvinist/Stoic/passive)

I will listen to a disagreement over what messages are written, describable, decipherable....but not whether or not they are written or should be read. It is the spiritual monist of any sort who is the best material for satire. Satire is based on Truth and the contrast is best done compared to the spiritual monist who has no concern for Truth. I will not try to listen for silence. For that is impossible. Silence is a myth. All things have meaning and you have been concieved of the conceptual because you are deSIGNated to read signs, see, observe and listen. You will now always have an awareness, since you were concieved of the conceptual in patterns going back into the past. It is only a matter of deciding what type of Master you will serve and come to be more aware of, Good or Evil. If you just try to kill your Self, you will not be successful. Instead, you will most likely just become more aware of the Evil that caused you to try to kill yourself.

If you are born again into better awareness, then you will start to have success. There is One whose answer always seems to be yes, success. As it is written. If it is written right on your mind then there can be no greater sign or wonder to "make" you believe something. People already have the vast, vast Cosmos as a Sign, yet they do not believe. No matter how big or long a book is, if you cannot read then you may just think that it is a doorstop for you. So the answer to your story sits there at your door, unread. Then you wonder, "How can I know? What is the answer?"

Sometime, I will have to study Calvinism. For there is something far off in what all Calvinists keep saying to me. So it makes sense to see what Calvin has to say about Calvinism one day. At a minimum spiritual monists are saying that the Maker has made and left enough signs to read that somewhere one says, "I am against you knowing!" Then, everyone should gather round and read such a sign, wherever it may be.

In contrast to this notion, a lot of wit and witness indicate that the Author wants to be known. His books bear witness that He is quite a writer too.
