What does the conceptual framework of set theory have to offer us?
Part I of II
Venn diagrams: set theory: … the rectangle represents the universal set E, circles represent sets or subsets.
These diagrams are called Venn diagrams, after John Venn (1834–1925), who invented them. –

Set theory offers us the ability to draw what we think.
Let’s use a dot to represent your eternal awareness, your soul.
We can then use a circle to represent the universe, and a box – a rectangle – to represent the Causative Force.
There are lots of ways to put these drawings on a piece of paper.
In order to better think about the different situations, let’s use separate sheets of paper to draw Venn diagrams of different situations.
Venn diagram #1:
Draw a dot. Draw a circle around the dot. In this situation there is no eternal awareness, there is no Causative Force, only you and the universe exist.
This is a drawing of atheism.
Venn diagram #2:
Draw a dot.
Draw a circle around the dot.
Draw a box in such a way that the circle is in the box and the box is in the circle.
