Wednesday Reflection On The Two Views Of Reality

 

This Wednesday, we will reflect on the two views of reality. The first view is the gift view. This view holds reality is a gift of God’s wisdom, visualization, and sharing. It is the older of the two views. The second view we will reflect on is the accident view.

Reality as a gift is a beautiful thought. In God's great Godhead wisdom and infinite mind visualization, God sharing all reality with us, his creation, gives one the idea of divine justice and mercy being natural. Miracles seem realistic.

The accident of natural forces culminating in life as we know it does not provide such lofty thoughts. What accidents caused an accident might undo. Even mighty beings can be dwarfed by entities from a more powerful star’s effect on them. Every power, living or inert in the accidental reality, is subject to the relativity of where it came from.

 

The gift view is based on nature resulting in a living mind discovering itself as God from its excellent knowledge. As it grew more intelligent of potential entities, it realized which it resembled most accurately. The accident view does not say there is a need for a creator, and many think God is just a viral piece of folklore. The accident view is based on experience inclusive of laboratory experimentation experiences volume of growing knowledge. The gift view holds the theory of an all container that was all-seeing and grew self-aware…
