The Infinite Movement

Faith Only?

The true movements of faith are ones of passion, not meditation.
-> So it is said, so it may be?

But these infinite movements do not need to be those of faith, just those without meditation
But serene
Kierkegaard perhaps admired the faithful and their 'absurd' to greatly to see what was before him, or within his own capacity
There is the capacity for 'infinity' tied to the finite in so many - the expression of so many movements of prayer, faith, spiritualism, idealism or creation, perhaps, are the same

There are those who let life take it's course without resigning themselves per se to a higher power
-> There are those that gaze into the 'third eye'
Or what is it, psychologically?

Is that our horror-fascination, too? 

It seems that the abyss that stares back into us is a lie, or that it was there
As a kind of peace

Or that the abyss, the God, the infinity and exit and whole ego is ourselves
The endlessness we reflect on is our own being, a brain that considers it's own existence

What is it to Be?

Notes on Kant, As I Go Along
"God, You are my creation, I created you to create."

Maybe 'shadows' of truth like a plaster Ganesha
-> A net curtain like ectoplasm
I can consider it a game of limits and falliability -  There may just be pleasure to be had in talking 
about the unknown and those strange things like ant-minds.
But what is it to Be? I will be until I am not.
Lightly.

Philosophy is Synthetic, ie. Additive or Productive

The Truth that is the foundation of, for example, Platonsim and Christianity, is regarded as  'presence', or God's presence, as experienced by contrast to His absence.
-> One can have light without shadows, but only having seen light can you appreciate the concept of dark
-> Darkness, in itself, is 'whole' and idescribable without lightness.

We are the light that created god - shrouded in darkness as He is - so that we had a standard to hold ourselves against, perhaps. It would be difficult to find flaws without a measure against which to hold them, it might be said.
The fantasy serves a purpose and fulfills a need.

 So the 'thereness' is, like presence, a duality. One cannot concieve it without it's opposite - that emotional flatness.

-> However, as Jung almost put it, and I would say, everything is real
-> God, whether real or not exists as a concept real enough
As with many things.
