Philosophy: What we reason:
Part III of IV
...Reason would imply that religion may be correct, the Causative Force may indeed be all present, omnipresent, relative to our universe as was discussed in the religion portion of the matrix.
If this is correct, the universe would have no place to be but within the Causative Force.
And what then of yourself?
If you are in the universe, you must be in the Causative Force, a part of the Causative Force, a piece of the Causative Force.
Religion’s insistence upon the Causative Force being omnipresent is one of the pieces of the puzzle.
Panentheism, the perception of size, was the first puzzle piece discussed in the matrix.
But the size of the Causative Force is only half the picture; the other half is why the Causative Force needs you.
Thus develops another piece of the puzzle, ‘symbiosis.’
It is science in this matrix that brings us the concept of the whole being the summation of its parts.
Science also underscored the idea of the whole being less than what it is should any of its parts be missing.
And thus it is science that brought us the concept of the parts interacting with and impacting the whole.
It was the science section of this matrix that discussed the concept of symbiosis.
Combine religion – a perception of abstraction, a perception of the size of a Causative Force, panentheism – with science – a perception of the physical, a perception of interactions, symbiosis – and one gets symbiotic panentheism.
One can put the two, religion and science, side by side but they will quickly fall apart once the pressure which keeps them together is removed.
Religion and science tend to repel each other because the two are so different.
One deals with the unprovable, what we sense, what we believe, the abstract and the other deals with the provable, what we see, what we observe, the concrete.
