The Character of Creation

These are some somewhat groomed thoughts interconnected and inspirational that I thought I would share here for feedback, questions, etc...these sentences are fairly metaphysical but are meant to describe the most abstract qualities of consciousness, being, physical systems and knowledge.

  • The creation of something happens out of what may appear to be nothing, but is actually, always, a background of potential that exists as some sort of dynamic “physical” system.
  • Any given observer is itself a form arising out of that dynamical system and will have a “vision” with limitations dictated by that same system.
  • An act of creation is really a straight-forward, un-special outcome of a dynamic system moving through a series of changes in its configuration.
  • What is later seen as the act of creation is of ambivalent value at the time it occurs, but as time progresses that act proves to be significant due to the escalating series of consequences which in some significant way unfolded from that act.
  • The length of time it takes for that significance to develop is entirely arbitrary with respect to the later judgment of significance by the observer.
  • The observer, identifying this act of creation and connecting it to the fact of the observer’s own being, is the source of the significance of that act of creation. It is not significant in and of itself as there is no absolutely objective perspective from which to assess significance.
  • The arbitrary character of this foundational creation gives the creation its ultimately subjective character...that is, its axiomatic qualities that do not submit to any but autological explanation.
  • Rational objectivity on the part of the observer when extended more and more in an effort to be comprehensive in its understanding is met with the subjective, non-rational ground out of which both the rationalizations and the object of rationality arise.
  • So where we see the problem of self-reference arise we see the fingerprint, the background radiation, of creation and the “edge” of our observable existence.
