Please forgive our ignorance Gabby. >:)
FF may be referring to the belligerent Demiurge (Yaldabaoth?) presiding
over this universe, and it's acolytes. Purely speculative.

I must be missing something here FF... Who's the determinist conmen
that "we" are mistaking? I also have no feeling that God's
understanding is anything less than infinite. The illusion that the so
called "haves" have created, has been a veil of perception. I think I
can agree on that point provided I am understanding you correctly.
Would you care to continue in your discourse and elaborate?

Pat,
God's understanding is infinite. There's no doubt about that.
When we mistake some determinist conmen for omnipotent entity, we get
the feeling that God's understanding is not infinite. This ignorance
gives rise to illusion which, in turn, prompts us to assume that
opinion of "haves" represents the entire cosmic awareness...

God is the mind which concieves the universe , He is the mind which
runs it, and He is the mind which destroys it. He does not see in the
manner in which we see each other and He does not act in the manner in
which we act. His awareness and action is transcendental in nature. In
our vanity we may pretend to comprehend Him, but we do not see or
accept the fact that our intelligence is not infinite but only a few
grades above that of animals. We have to just look at animals to
realise that , after all our understanding also is finite. We are
learning and growing day by day , but we are far from being Supreme.
Well, He does see as we do, but He also sees in a way we do not. When
you look at something, in reality, it is Him that is seeing (and
hearing and every other sensation any of us sense). And His ability
to multiprocess all our awarenesses (and the awareness of all living
things!) is a part of what defines His transcendant abilities. But
there are more (unseen) places than just this 4-D universe and His
wareness includes all that, as well. You're also right about our
level of consciousness being not that much above other animals. It is
our conceit that leads us to believe we are far greater than they
are. But we're not. God can think like a tree (and, in fact thinks
like each tree, as each tree's awareness is, in fact, His), yet no
animal can. I'm not sure that God's understanding is infinite, but it
is comprehensive, that is, it covers everything, though there may be a
limit, that limit is far beyond our comprehension.- Hide quoted text -
