What characteristic does panentheism assign the Causative Force?

Part II of II

...If St. Anselm is correct in arguing that as a species, if we conceive of a necessary being, its existence takes on a reality, then the acceptance of the concept of a Causative Force is perfectly logical.

 

At this point, it is also worth noting that the argument against the Causative Force based upon speculation, that the Causative Force must then have a Causative Force, would have no bearing here.

 

The acknowledgment of a Causative Force for our universe is what is at issue here.

 

The acceptance of such a Force then leads to the discussion of the question regarding where that Force would be.

 

Religions once professing a Causative Force to be omnipresent, cannot then declare that She is not.

 

The paradox of “evil” existing in a “perfect” being has to be dealt with in another fashion.

 

That is one of the benefits of symbiotic panentheism for just as symbiotic panentheism elevates human perceptions to new levels through expanding the size of the Causative Force, it also does away with one of religion’s most perplexing paradoxes which has caused them to reject the omnipresence of the Causative Force even while they proclaim it.

Part I of II

 

 

Panentheism says the Causative Force is omnipresent (all present) in terms of our universe. There are no qualifiers.

 

 

A qualifier is an exception to the statement. For example, the Causative Force is omnipresent BUT transcends the universe. This qualifier is an attempt to take from the Causative Force things that are considered to be “sins” of the world.

 

This qualifier is an attempt to take the “evil” of the world, the “bad things” out of the Causative Force.

 

Until, however, we accept the understanding that the “bad things” of the world, the universe, are also inside the Causative Force, we will not understand why it is so important to elevate our level of behavior.

 

We will only take our behavior seriously when we understand that the actions we consciously decide to take will have repercussions that actually become a part of the Causative Force Herself.

 

The sense of responsibility for one’s behavior only becomes important when one understands that one’s behavior leads to personal repercussions generated from one’s own personal behavior.

Symbiotic panentheism, based upon reason, models the whole of Reality and describes how the elements of reality, namely the physical universe, what lies beyond the physical universe, the individual, and 'nothingness' interact with each other and interact with the Whole of Reality, namely God.

Although symbiotic panentheism is an expanded model of reality and as such deals with religious issues, it is not 'a' religion since symbiotic panentheism is not based upon 'faith' but rather is based upon reason.
