2.4 - Postulate 3

Due to the inadequacies of language, tension between ideas appear to occur in the concept of the unity of God and of logic. In this work, logic is defined as a gestalt⁶ containing a pattern of interconnected relationships. Tension appears with the word interconnectedness, which implies a plurality. Part of the tension is relieved by the concept of gestalt. Yet the definition of gestalt introduces more plural terms: something more than the sum of its parts. These tensions are brought about by the perceptual origin of words -- that is, we see a plurality form a unity. Later it will be shown that perception is part of a mistake. To facilitate clarity, reverse the sequence of the gestalt idea. The gestalt is not a result of the parts, but the parts are a result of the gestalt. This idea is in keeping with an order of manifestation proceeding from higher (God) to lower (physical form).

This postulate brings infinite Order and Logic to Love. Love has an infinite order to it. Love and Wisdom are One. They are two sides of the same coin. We cannot have Love without Wisdom and vice versa. One comes from the other and/or infers the other. Beginning with this, the theorems generated are:

Theorem 2 -- Given: God and Eternity are One.

Postulate 3 -- Given: God's Absolute Love has an Absolute, Logical, and Eternal Mind.

Join this with Theorem 4, to get:

Add the concept of Eternity to this and we get:

Throw them all together in the soup pot and it can be said:

Again, a wholeness, a oneness is presented. We have Will, Love and Logic all put together. Postulates 4 and 5 will cover some of the qualities of this Logical Mind.

Given the fundamental unity of this subject matter, these counterparts of the previous theorems also apply:

In Theorems 7 and 7A, we have the obverse of the two previous theorems. Since God is the One Source, He is the one Source of Logic; there is no Logic but His.

In this postulate and the included theorems, a divine trinity is completed -- a one in three and a three in one: just like Father, Son, and Holy Spirit; Creator, Destroyer, Preserver; Yin, Yang, and the Tao. The trinity is a reoccurring theme in spirituality -- the one in three and the three in one. Here again, we have a problem with words: how do you get one in three and three in one? It introduces paradoxes. Because we are dealing with a fundamental unity, we have to forego the words in favor of the concepts the words are trying to convey. Words and communication by words are usually dependent upon common perceptions. When the common perceptions are gone, there is no communication.

The trinities that have been mentioned before are all mystical perceptions translated into common perceptions (of the time), in order for the people to understand them. This is dictated by the law of Love -- a mystic does not talk to people in a language the people do not understand. It does not work. They try to get their message across, by using what is known; to illuminate the peoples of the time.

What is being introduced here is a reoccurring concept that repeats itself into physical form. Figure 2-1 illustrates this idea. In the figure, a moebius strip⁷ is shown with a circle and three columns, labeled 1, 2, and 3.

Figure 2.1, '3 in 1, 1 in 3'

Column 1 represents this is one thing, the synthesis and source of columns 2 and 3. The relationship of 2 to 3 is: 2 determines the nature of 3, while 3 generates 2. This means a 2 defines a 3. Once a 3 is defined it generates (or re-generates) a 2. The 2 may, or may not, be the same 2 that originally defined the 3.⁸ In this particular case, God's Love and Logic: it is the same 2.

Let's look at what this means. Love defines Logic, while Logic regenerates Love. Love determines the very nature of the Logic. Once the Logic is established, it renews the Love, and calls into being Love's Source.

Because the postulates are related in sequence for a reason, only the Will or Ability can be seen as the causal event (1). Love (2) and Logic (3) are expressions, or effects, of this Ability. Stated another way: Postulates 2 and 3 present the Absolute Ability to be Loving and Logical. Without the Will of God, Love-Wisdom would not exist.
