Perhaps because I studied Mathematics at university, and I have had similar thoughts to this! Personally, I think that there are four aims to life 1. Instinct 2. Power 3. Wisdom 4. Transformation of the Universe and that God is a concept of a being who has instinct ultimately attuned to his/her environment, has ultimate power, ultimate wisdom, and has utter concentration on transformation of the universe for the better. You can find out more here. http://4aspectsofgod.blogspot.com/ Thanks Hello

Personally, I think that there are four aims to life
1. Instinct
2. Power
3. Wisdom
4. Transformation of the Universe

and that God is a concept of a being who has instinct ultimately attuned to his/her environment, has ultimate power, ultimate wisdom, and has utter concentration on transformation of the universe for the better.

And how interesting that what “I” perceive is my reference point, my beginning. And how interesting that we all confuse the view of “I” with the Truth. Certainty. Everything." I love this! I'm absolutely going to think more about this. I love the whole piece, really, and would love it if you expanded more on the idea. I'm really glad you posted here; I'm going to have to look through more of your writing. Thank you! “How interesting that we call I the first person.

It reminded me of the "Flatland" analogy. A year ago, I also wrote a spiritual reflection on the imaginary number <a href="http://frimmin.com/2005/10/14/i-is-imaginary/" rel="nofollow">here.</a> interested I really enjoyed your metaphor of the imaginary axis as a spiritual axis.
