What characteristic does panentheism assign the Causative Force?
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.
