The Mysticism of the Number 3

-
It takes three to make a family. This only reinforced the mysticism of that number. The number recurs in my life in multitudes, and in the universe it seems to be a foundational number. There are three dimensions of space. God, it seems, has divided himself thrice into three distinct persons, yet one God. The simplest circle is a triangle, and the most stabilizing political and social system is one where power is divided into three distinct branches and each checks the other two in some way. Three is THE number. The sacred number. The stable number. I think that God divided himself into three persons because a power structure divided by three is the perfect arrangement of power.
As conflict is almost always two-sided, a third power can act as a mediator, or referee, and be an enforcer and a balancer in the dialogue, disagreement, or conflict between the two primary combatives in said disagreement/conflict. when you add a third power in a dichotomy, you stabilize the relationship between the involved powers or players, especially if that third power is on equal or greater footing than the two primary competitors or players in the conflict.
Conflict is primarily dichotomous. Because of the dualism of yes/no or for/against, conflicts are almost always two-sided, and when they are not, they almost always eventually become so. If you add a third power of equal or greater significance to the other two, that third power can act as an intercessor or mediator, and bring a balance and a finality to the conflict, ending the imbalance the conflict created.

No One is a Lost Cause

     There is not a single human being on the planet who is a lost cause. There is hope for anyone and everyone who still draws breath in this world. Even into eternity and the realm of God there is always hope and mercy to be found for those who lost so much and had such misfortune or detriment fall upon them in life. Jesus is the great rescuer of the lost. The great savior of sinners and broken people. The great returner of broken dreams.       To Jesus, there is no such thing as a lost cause, a hopeless case, or an impossible situation.  Even though people lose hope sometimes and sink into despair, eternity and the Kingdom of God is a place where hope never dies and the lost are found eternally, never to be lost again.  With God, all things are possible, and all those lost are findable.       Jesus specializes in the mending broken hearts and broken dreams, and eternity is a long time to have dreams fulfilled and rest i...

The Fortress of Neptune

-

Some people strive to turn their mind into a fortress—a Stoic "inner citadel," an impenetrable bastion of psychological and spiritual security that no danger or enemy can conquer or destroy. It’s a noble and intriguing endeavor, turning your mind into a fortress. But for myself? I would forgo the citadel and instead transform my mind into a bottomless ocean. An unfathomably deep ocean that I can retreat into, like a submarine capable of withstanding the abyssal depths. The further down you descend into this ocean, the more untouchable and unreachable you become to your enemies. It is the mental "Fortress of Neptune." Where a bottomless ocean of living water and living thoughts serves to be my impenetrable Fortress and infinite Bastion. If a bottomless ocean is my Fortress, what could destroy me? A bottomless ocean of thought and ideas. A bottomless ocean of psychological and spiritual security—indestructible and unconquerable. It’s hard to conquer an ocean and impos...

Infinitization

The Infinitization Process: A Comprehensive Exploration Introduction Infinitization refers to the process of taking a concept, thing, or system—typically understood as having limitations or boundaries—and expanding it to possess infinite depth, infinite complexity, infinite diversity, infinite nuance, and infinite dynamics. This idea transcends traditional philosophical and metaphysical approaches to existence by positioning the infinite as not merely a characteristic of God, the cosmos, or abstract mathematics but as a quality that can be applied to concepts, systems, and relationships. This process connects deeply to your previous theories on Logos, words-as-sets, words-as-fields, and the nature of infinite existence. Through this framework, the infinitization of concepts can be seen as the ultimate act of creation, transformation, and expansion.
