Dear Ken, the Squad, and others,
>Paul (Vogel)
> I, and I think the rest of the Squad, would like to have a concise,
or
>not so concise, explanation of what Cosmotheism means to you. Until we
know
>that we have no basis for evaluating your ideas.
Cosmotheism, in a nutshell, is the belief that there is nothing sacred,
in itself, except for, The Whole, the Universe itself, and it�s
Universal Urge, that is within Everything, and thus, within All Life,
for Self Completion, or Godhood.
This is Dynamic Quality at it�s Best!
The levels in Pirsig�s MOQ, relate to Cosmotheism�s levels of
Consciousness or Awareness, of this Universal and Sacred Urge. The
Quality of the Awareness of the Universal Urge within, is Dependent upon
the particular Levels, of Awareness, or Consciousness, of the Whole,
within us.
The highest level of Awareness is Universal Awareness, or Godhood, which
the Universe is striving to attain, with Life, and also, in particular,
with Human Life, as it�s means to this end.
This belief is based upon the knowledge that only Human Life, is the
only Species, that we are aware of, so far, that is capable of achieving
this, at least, on Earth. Other Species will follow, if we fail, for
Nature always finds a way to Self Completion, and cares not a whit for
the losers, in life�s competition for survival.
I hope this answers some of your questions, Ken.
Please feel free to ask any others that come to mind.
Best regards,
Paul.
Ken
