100.00

100 Holy potential is at the epicenter of the Divine.

200.00

200 Holy quest for potential is the underlying core dynamic of the cosmic order.

300.10

300 Two possible but mutually exclusive sets of dynamics were open to man (at Eden).

300.20

The two dynamics are:

“Tree of Life/Bliss” -------------------------------------1. A “gilded cage” existence 2. Intellectual satedness 3. Limited growth potential 4. Dependence 5. Eternal Life 6. “Leashed” “natural evil” 7. Bliss 8. Limited potential for “moral good,” “moral evil” 9. Lesser dignity

“Tree of Knowledge/Potential” ---------------------------------------A life of challenge, freedom, privacy, and responsibility Pursuit of knowledge Infinite growth potential Independence Mortality “Unleashed” “natural evil” Pain and joy Higher potential for “moral good,” “moral evil” Higher dignity

300.30

In a world predicated on potential, man inexorably took the route of “Tree of Knowledge/Potential.”

300.40

“Natural evil” and “moral evil” would consequently forevermore plague and challenge man.

400.10

400 Evil is the implicit flip-side, or converse, of good.

Evil is anti-polar to good.

400.20

With the creation of potential for good, which is required for man to be able to reach his spiritual potential, potential for evil indirectly, but nevertheless, inexorably, came into existence as a consequence.

400.30

To destroy evil would, at the least, destroy good.

400.40

While an omnipotent Deity may have an impact on nature, even an omnipotent Deity does not violate universal laws and dynamics implicit in the universal Deity’s essence, as violating them could unravel the cosmos.

500.10

500 Main is finite+ seeking to approach Infinity.

500.20

The purpose of man is to quest for his potentialities— spiritual, intellectual, and all other.

500.30

The closer man approaches the achievement of his spiritual and other potentialities, the closer he comes to fulfilling the primal quests of creation.

Man, (infinite) God, and the universe are all questing for their potentialities.

500.40

600 600.00 Man is innately free and striving for fuller freedom.

700.10

700.20

800.10

700 In order for man to reach his full potential, he must operate from a base of freedom. (This is a law of the universe in concert with balance of dynamics of Tree of Knowledge chosen at Eden.)

The greater the freedom component of man’s base, the greater his ultimate potential (inherent in Tree of Knowledge chosen at Eden).

800 Man is ascendant—at least in knowledge.

800.20

As mankind ascends in knowledge (and possibly in consciousness) on the road to fulfilling a primal drive of creation, there is an implicit demand for fuller freedom. (This is implicit in our paradigm of the Tree of Knowledge.)

800.30

A demand for fuller freedom (as a consequence of an ascent in knowledge) has embodied within it a demand for greater privacy, responsibility, and selfhood—so that man can more ably quest for his potential.

900.10

900.20

900 As mankind ascends in knowledge, implicitly demanding more freedom, there is a proportional contraction (tsimtsum) of Divine here-and-now consciousness. This is a primary form of Hester Panim which yields man ever greater freedom, privacy, responsibility, and selfhood with concomitant potential.

As the contraction of real-time Divine consciousness continues, (as mankind ascends

in knowledge and freedom) there is a commensurate lower incidence and level of direct particular Providence—for the sake of the general Providence of allowing mankind to quest for its full potentialities.

900.30

Quest for potential is an overarching and inviolate holy cosmic dynamic. A violation of Quest for Potential would be a violation of a core Divine dynamic—which was integral to creation itself, integral to the Divine essence, and integral to the potential of the cosmic order.

Principia Metaphysica Outline: 1100 Series

eternal Potential/Possibility (self-evident/by definition)

1200 Series 1225

Quest for Potential∞ emerges as the primary engine of the cosmos

1250

The principles of the hard and soft sciences sought their full potentials of ACTUALIZATION, FULL EXPRESSION, LIFE, LOVE, CONSCIOUSNESS and ultimately, of INFINITY

1300 Series “Quest for INFINITE DIVINE EXTRAORDINARIATION” emerges as the evolved overarching drive of the cosmos

1400 Series 1405

The Infinite Divine Extraordinariation… at the end-of-the-rainbow – as first, IGNITION, and then, as GOAL

1410

Quest for Potential∞ creates/pervades the cosmos (The cosmos IS integrated into Quest for Potential∞)

1414

This core cosmic dynamic is ETERNAL, ENDURING and TRANSCENDING

1416

Q4P∞ feeds upon itself

1417

It unites – and, indeed, is comprised of – all life: past, present and future

1418

At the vanguard, possibly (repeat: possibly) is a “Godhead”

1419

Our individual, extraordinary core Potential flows within this Eternal and Infinite stream

1420

The Infinite Divine Extraordinariation… at the end-of-the-rainbow – as first, IGNITION, and then, as GOAL – exerted PULL, while full-spectrum Quest for Potential∞ exerts DRIVE – and PUSH (note parallel to CHILDBIRTH)

1500 Series 1505

Quest for Potential∞ is, in turn, composed of two Supra–Dynamics: Quest-for-ADVANCEMENT/fulfillment and Quest-for-FULFILLMENT/advancement

1510

These complementary Supra-Dynamics are intertwined with each other in an Eternal cosmic (double-helix) dance – a Cosmic Tango, as, in-tandem they cascadingly advance.

They play-out their potential Infinitude juxtaposed against each other – in a dynamic and eternal hi-tension

perpetually replenishing and stimulating each other… producing, in turn, Quest for Additional Possibilities 1520

The panoply of ACTION & ADVANCE is complemented by the complementary spectrum of EMOTION & FULFILLMENT & CONSCIOUSNESS

1530

Quest for ADVANCEMENT probes outward Quest for FULFILLMENT vortexes inward centrifugal – centripetal forces

1540

Quest for Potential∞ finds its ultimate CATALYST – and MOTIVATOR… in its contending sub-strands Quest-for-ADVANCEMENT and Quest-for-FULFILLMENT

1550

Quest-for-ADVANCEMENT and Quest-for-FULFILLMENT are drawn inexorably towards each other, …“as the moth to the flame” – while they simultaneously seek to play-out their autonomous potential

1560

Through an Asian prism, Quest-for-ADVANCEMENT is Yang Quest-for-FULFILLMENT is Ying balancing out the cosmos complementary opposite countervailing

~opposing, but mutually enriching Through a Jewish prism, “ezer k’negdo” (Genesis / Bereshith 2:18) ~complementary, juxtaposed and counterbalanced sexes 1570

Through a KABBALISTIC prism, Quest-for-ADVANCEMENT/fulfillment is majority MASCULINE energy, minority FEMININE energy Quest-for-FULFILLMENT/advancement is majority FEMININE energy, minority MASCULINE energy

1580

The dynamic tension between Quest-for-ADVANCEMENT and Quest-forFULFILLMENT can be presumed to have escalated for infinite eons pre–reality to that famous explosive point which actualized the COSMOS

1590

The reality–void hitherto had not found either ACTUALIZATION or a mode of expression of FULFILLMENT, EMOTION, CONSCIOUSNESS

1600 Series 1610

“The void could not ‘take it’ anymore” –Solomon Birnbaum 2004

1615

“Voids abhor voids” –D. Birnbaum

1620

The reality–void sought EMOTIONAL RELEASE and REALIZATION, SPIRITUAL FULFILLMENT, INTELLECTUAL ATTAINMENT, HIGHER LEVEL (actually INFINITE) CONSCIOUSNESS, PURE GOOD-ness / GIVING-ness, and full–spectrum ACTUALIZATION

1640

at “Creation,” NOTHING separates (MITOSIS of “0”) into (steadily expanding) “actualized POTENTIAL” and its complement, (a steadily diminishing) “VOID”

1645

POTENTIAL energy > KINETIC energy

1650

“actualized POTENTIAL” (an ever–expanding–cosmos... expanding on multiple levels) increasingly gobbles–up physical and emotional and intellectual and spiritual.

TURF formerly occupied by VOID

1700 Series 1725

At the end–of–the–rainbow, Infinite Divine Extraordinariation (perhaps most importantly – the infinitude of Consciousness and Givingness) [this is the spiritual SINGULARITY] retroactively ignites the Emptiness [“tohu va-vohu”] at the Creation-point

1750

ONLY infinite and unbounded POTENTIAL as a goal, as a theoretical “end–point,” could and would have the power to ignite a Cosmos

1800 Series 1825

and what actualizes the putative Divine?

The DIVINE is–in–the–process of infinite SELF–EVOLVEMENT ongoing for billions of eons ...traversing from metaphysical realms to ever–fuller and richer PHYSICAL ACTUALIZATION ...as it courses towards the “very–end–of–the–rainbow”

1830

We are all part of – and integral-to the (evolving) Divine.

1835

Thus, if Potential/Possibility is infinite, and Potential/Possibility is the core of the Divine, the Divine is Infinite +

1850

Potential/Possibility may have more facets and dimensions to it – Divine or otherwise – than we were alerted to in contemporary culture, but by definition only Potential/Possibility is eternal.

1900 Series The DIVINE is simultaneously EVERYTHING + A Quest/Goal to be approached in ever–greater–and–greater fullness and richness and consciousness
