——————- NOTES by KHALIL ——————-<\/p>\n

1<\/sup> The Infinite and the Cosmos: In passages such as this one it is clear that the author rejects Aristotle\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s concept of \u00e2\u20ac\u0153eternalism,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d a model in which the cosmos is eternal and The Infinite is an actor within the cosmos. This same rejection of eternalism was defended in the Guide for the Perplexed, in Maimonides\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 key divergence from Aristotelian principles. The rejection of Eternalism remains a key metaphysical distinction between traditional Jewish thought and classical Aristotelian thought. The author basically dismisses classic Aristotelian thought as fatally linear and simplistic.<\/p>\n

Spiral<\/strong><\/p>\n

Western philosophy is essentially linear.
\n\u00e2\u20ac\u0153A\u00e2\u20ac\u009d created \u00e2\u20ac\u0153B\u00e2\u20ac\u009d and then \u00e2\u20ac\u0153B\u00e2\u20ac\u009d created \u00e2\u20ac\u0153C\u00e2\u20ac\u009d.
\nPlato: God took Primal Matter and created the Earth, etc.
\nBiblical literal: God created heaven and earth.
\nThen, God took a rib of Adam and created Eve.
\nOriental philosophy is essentially circular,
\nOr Ying\/Yang complementary within a circularity.<\/p>\n

Our own Q4P philosophy is essentially spiral.

CHI <\/em>meridians course through the human body;
\nAnd we must presume that parallel meridians course through the cosmos.<\/p>\n

We can open up CHI<\/em> channels in the human body via SHIATSU or other modes;
\nBut how can we repair the cosmos?<\/p>\n

Perhaps by following a life of giving and spirituality,
\nwe open up cosmic channels and meridians,
\nwe \u00e2\u20ac\u0153repair the cosmos\u00e2\u20ac\u009d\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6 We effect \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Tikkun Olam<\/em>\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n

The cosmic void\u00e2\u20ac\u201cwomb stirred. A metaphysical friction stirred it. An ascending yearning for fulfillment.

\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6The yearning for fulfillment grew stronger and stronger\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6<\/p>\n

It had tried so many, many times before? Only to betrayed or let down by one potentiality or another? But this time seemed different\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6 everything seemed lined\u00e2\u20ac\u201cup\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6 there was an exciting stir deep, deep within the void\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6 and the potentials of Truth, Mercy, and Spirituality were nicely lined up with the potentials of Freedom and Glory and Love\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6<\/p>\n

Abstract Dynamic \/ ENTIRE Dynamic<\/strong><\/p>\n

Retired Israeli Supreme Court Justice Haim Cohen,
\nin my discussions with him at his Jerusalem
\n(Rehavia) apartment in 1989…
\ndescribed my \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Quest for Potential\u00e2\u02c6\u017e<\/sup>\u00e2\u20ac\u009d as an
\n\u00e2\u20ac\u0153abstract dynamic\u00e2\u20ac\u009d. And the Second Printing of
\n God and Evil <\/em>was adjusted to reflect this observation.<\/p>\n

The advantage of postulating an eternal Abstract Dynamic, as Cohen agreed, is that it is conceptually easier to conceptualize an Abstract Dynamic as having preceded everything, than to posit the conscious, intervening God of Israel as having preceded everything.<\/p>\n

Within a religious Orthodox framework, one can say that Q4P is the embryonic Divine and at the core of the infinite Divine.<\/p>\n

Within a more secularized framework, one can simply take Q4P \u00e2\u20ac\u0153the distance\u00e2\u20ac\u009d\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6 all the way through infinity.<\/p>\n

But, actually Q4P is not forever just an Abstract Dynamic; Rather it emerges as the ENTIRE dynamic. We are all integral parts of it. It permeates the sub\u00e2\u20ac\u201cmolecular level and the macro\u00e2\u20ac\u201ccosmic level.<\/p>\n

CHI<\/em> is the blood stream of it.
\nEMOTION is the oxygen energizing it.
\nINFINITE DIVINE is intertwined with it.<\/p>\n
