A Triadic Philosophy Meditation
More tough fiction from Some Stones Don't Roll
From Some Stones Don't Roll (FicMemOne by Stephen C. Rose) [Kindle Edition]
Abba tell me where am I now. I am in New York City do I go with that? Outside the bus sounds. Are they buses? I do not know the sounds anymore. The drip drip drip into the tub. Must hydrate the atmosphere to keep legs from itching all night long. What's a drip a small price to pay for freedom from self inflicted nail pain. She is gone now. How many shes have gone. If I could line them in a row would they go out the door into the dingy hall? Where would I be without this keyboard. Oh in New York. Why not in Bangladesh. Or at UNICEF listening to the other Stephen hold forth. I remember him cowering for no reason when all I wanted to do was tell him there was such a thing as benign genocide nothing about whatever affair he was or was not having there comes a time when you could care less about the thrills you no longer know. I miss Ernesto. I miss the woman in Capri who was going to get me started. I miss nothing and everything. Drip drip drip drip.
Reality with a Capital R
I use Reality with a capital R to signify the all embracing
mystery which has never been fully revealed and will not be. I see this Reality
down to the quarks and to what may be even less evident and at the same time I
make it possible to address this One via a simple device given to us by the
much-maligned Jesus of Nazareth. This was the Abba prayer, ironically known to
the world more for its connection to a singing group than to the one Jesus
would have all pray to. The exceedingly personal and informal reality of this
interposition, between the impersonality of Reality and the most intimate
connections our mind can conjure up, is precisely what I think Jesus was about.
And because forgiveness is another word for continuity, I think it behooves us
to do some reevaluation of Jesus as well as God if we are going to move beyond
the creedal wreckage of the past. Soren Kierkegaard and Charles Sanders Peirce
helped start all this and we will not complete it. But we are at least not far
from the right track.
I shall now duck for having spoken so clearly. I should add that
the deity as perceived by the authors of Genesis was quite explicit about what
reality is. According to the words that emanated when Moses probed the matter,
reality is what it is and what it will be. Not very helpful but on the mark and
calling for the best human interpretation of the conundrum to which I have
alluded.
Peirce and the Future of Theology
The significance of Peirce for theology is his insistence on experience,
on scientific method, as the basis of proving anything. He thus removes
spirituality from its creedal theological past to a future where it is grounded
in spiritual practice, in meditation, in a daily process of thought and dialog.
In time I believe all religions will
become becomes increasingly oriented to Peircean perspectives. It will probably take more than a century for
the change to sink in but it will happen simply because it corresponds with
thoughts that are becoming more and more conscious.
How Kindle May Be The Future of Income for Online Publication
There is nothing easier than porting Word documents to Kindle and making
them increasingly available on every platform including, reportedly, a new
phone. This is the way we can monetize our creativity and widen our understanding
of what a book is. A book is a collection of thoughts which can be continually
refined and hopefully improved over time. It can and should be of most benefit
to its authors and become the accepted means by which all who write earn
whatever they aim at earning (reasonably!) online. Online will ultimately be
the only source of income for writers, thinkers, creators and authors.
