Phaul Takes to Blogging

Answering Phaul has been very fruitful for me. Phaul, in turn, has taken to blogging himself. He has written a pretty sharp piece on the concept of the Divine Now (see his posts at http://phauldesilva.blogspot.com/). Please read him slowly, as his sentences contain much more than is first apparent, and it takes some wrestling with what he means to grasp the depth of his thought.

A little requested feedback to Phaul here:
Some observations:
I agree that in the final analysis time does not exist, only experience does (Phaul segues nicely into practice to change experience). I personally like the word 'intelligence' for the cause of all present phenomena. As demonstrated (in my opinion) by the double-slit tests, existence is the power of intelligence alone until converted from intelligence into particulate matter by consciousness in observation. Our experience is the power of the Divine Intelligence.

There is no past because nothing is there. What was in the past has all moved into the present where it is in constant motion. The future is only where it is all going, and that is subject to direction by the Big Guy. His intelligence is power to become whatever It thinks/imagines It is. We are all that stuff--the Big Guy, Its intelligence, power, consciousness--sent into these states to become the source of experience. That is a really tall order: to have the height and the humility of God.

God help us.

Phaul has the right idea: practice, learn, and seek the Promise. Yes, the Promise is coming eventually to everyone. No one will be left out. But waiting for it is, literally, hell.
