All Infinities Lead to Heaven

“Gospel”, other than the literal meaning of “good news”, could also be defined as “the ultimate reality.”

Or, to attenuate the use of “ultimate,” “the Gospel” is the highest or ultimate-est reality that has so far been revealed to mortal man.

“The Gospel” is the one “thing” which we cannot avoid, no matter our beliefs or views.

The closest thing to “not-the-Gospel” is Outer Darkness.

All three kingdoms of glory are part of this ultimate reality — just different parts and different positions within the same whole of Father’s dominion.

Every goal/philosophy/system, that does not deny reality, ends up in one
of the three heavenly kingdoms.

Is this part of what you’re getting at?

>I have this idea that every goal and every philosophy, when iterated to eternity, leads to the Gospel. Wherever you start, if you take long enough a view, you end up in the same place.

I must thank Dr. Charlton for introducing me to this by Blake: “If the fool would persist in his folly he would become wise.”

There is another thought that sprang to mind when reading the title, though: in an infinity, there are no [i]average[/i] numbers. [i]Every single one[/i] is much closer to the Beginning than most others.

Finally, the infinities hiding between the natural numbers ought to give us pause when considering just how [i]much[/i]…more there is.

Oh, dang, I always forget, it’s pseudo-markdown here. *italics*.

The other thing that’s occurred to me is that the Gospel is a manual for what ought to remain constant, even in the face of infinite(!) variation.

>But I think there is a second reason. (I’m groping at this one. Nothing I say here is too sure yet.) It’s about what makes the West the West. The West is Faustian. It strives to push up against the limits and for the infinite. Calculus is Western.

And yes, I vacillate between thinking there’s something here, and that I’m fooling myself. But it feels like something’s there.

spdi: in comments, most html text decoration works with angle brackets, (less than/greater than). Let’s see:

i for italics
b for bold
’em’ does this
u for underline

blockquote does this

end

If the fool would persist in his folly, he would become wise.

Oops, that’s why you should always read the previous comments before posting one of your own!

Considering the narrowness of the way, I expect most infinities have too much drag to give Escape Velocity. Nor are they sufficiently well aimed – would they optimize what is needed? Or perhaps I misunderstand.

But a more interesting question would be, why are there 12 tribes? Why is Judah on a different path from Ephraim, than from the Lost Tribes?
Temporally, why do we have dispensations? And why have they different powers and glories?

God has allowed specialization, so that someone understands every spiritual challenge. So, no matter what challenges come our way, there are people (on this side of the veil or the other) who understand how to overcome.
