What significance do the Judaic concepts of monotheism and the soul have to other life forms in the universe?
Part I of II
Monotheism implies a creation of the universe by one force.
•
A Causative Force created the universe, not just the part of it humans exist within.
This suggests, or forces us, to acknowledge our uniqueness.
It forces us to demand respect for our uniqueness as a species.
At the same time, however, it leaves us no choice but to do the same for all other life forms, souls, we may encounter in the heavens, in the galaxy, in the universe.
This demand to respect our potential to contribute to a Causative Force so large the universe itself is immersed within it, opens up a whole new way of looking at our earth as an environment, of looking at ourselves as individuals, of looking at other humans with whom we interact, and of looking at other life forms we most probably will encounter as we travel the heavens themselves.
•
The way we perceive other life forms we encounter as we travel the heavens will be of utmost importance to those life forms.
