Aphorism: The end of the universe

 

If one could physically travel to the edge of the physical universe and step off the edge, one would have stepped into God.

 

            Come to the edge –

            We can’t. We are afraid.

            Come to the edge –

            We can’t we will fall.

            Come to the edge –

            And they came.

            And we pushed them.

            And they flew.

                                    Appolinaire

About Aphorisms

The Merriam Webster’s Collegiate Dictionary defines an aphorism as:-

  1. a concise statement of a principle.
  2. a terse formulation of a truth or sentiment.


Karl Kraus (1874 – 1936) described aphorisms as follows:-

‘An aphorism never coincides with truth, they are either a half-truth or one-and-a-half truths’.


The reason aphorisms have difficulty dealing with the complete truth lies in their brevity. Aphorisms do not, ‘… tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth.’ Aphorisms tell a piece of the truth.

If these aphorisms stood on their own, they would be no different than any other half-truth or one-and-a-half truths.

These aphorisms, however, do not stand on their own. These aphorisms stand immersed within the framework of a fully detailed holistic system. Each aphorism is validated by a host of articles and essays found within the philosophical project which includes this web site and the web site www.panentheism.com.

 

The Holistic System of Symbiotic Panentheism:-

  1. You are inside, and therefore are a part, a piece of the Divine Being, the Primal Force, the First Cause.
  2. Your actions occur inside, and therefore impact the Divine Being, the Primal Force, the First Cause.
