Resolution

Hypotheses about the existence and nature of God have been the subject of discourse and debate by the greatest minds of Western culture over the centuries. The discourses collectively display a massive erudition as well as brilliant intellectual acumen, together with the collective wisdom obtained by intensive effort and dedication. The integrity of the greatest thinkers of all time is obvious and inspiring.

To this impressive human effort of Western civilization, modern man also has access to the accumulated wisdom of the Middle and Far East. Even in modern China, Confucianism forms a supporting matrix to a giant and rapidly evolving society. India, the other giant emerging culture, has an ingrained Hindu cultural/religious fabric that reflects the distillation of many centuries of collective wisdom. In America, the Native culture of its earliest inhabitants had universally discovered the Great Spirit, and widely separated aborigine cultures of Africa and South America also worshipped deities.

Ancient Germanic tribes as well as the societies of pre-Christian Greece and Rome all had gods. Thus, it could be said that, although differing in depiction, mankind has collectively understood that Divinity is the Source of life and existence.

Thus, the atheist is faced with the dubious intellectual task of purportedly refuting all mankind over all of human history. Despite pretenders to the task, none has ever succeeded in doing so despite intellectual pretenses. This failure is due to the inescapable fact that that which is not provable therefore cannot be disproved.

The prudent mind would conclude that the reality of Divinity is a tentative probability whose resolution invites further clarification by the evolution of consciousness itself. The ultimate resolution occurs on a higher plane and in greater dimension than the limited realm of the intellectual, which is confined to the consciousness levels of the 400s. By self-honesty, it is discovered that intrinsic to the mentalizations of the 400s is an innate unconscious, blind pridefulness. Every ‘thinker’ secretly believes that their mind is really superior to that of everyone else. That is the psychological basis of the ‘feel good about yourself’, wonderful ‘You’ generation a la Time magazine’s cover (25 December 2006).

The mind’s illusion that it is capable of actually knowing reality is not the result of just ordinary pridefulness but is instead an intrinsic defect of the construction of the mind itself as a consequence of its evolutionary development. Biological life had to have certainty, and the organism sampled the environment (e.g., via the function of the ‘experiencer’ aspect of the ego). Thus, to survive, faith evolved in the accuracy of sampling the linear domain. However, the linear processing function of the ego apparatus did not acquire the capacity for discovering the reality of the nonlinear dimensions of existence or reality. Thus, only after eons of evolutionary time did the human consciousness evolve to discern context from content. That capacity is still absent in eighty-five percent of the human population in the world today.

The resultant limitation means that the majority of mankind requires reliance on its most advanced members to explain the nonlinear Reality that is the context and source of existence.
