If we picture it all coming from one singularity, from which came universes & galaxies & planets & us, then why are we fixated on the idea that things are built up out of quarks and little particles?

What’s the difference between leaving all you have to your children who have ample of their own, and hiding your light under a bushel?

The world would be
Overrun by chickens!

I am seeing Father as the parent, the generator of all there is, including me. I am seeing Son as specimen of all children as well as of the same substance as the generator Father. I am seeing Holy Spirit as the breath, spirit, ineffable part of all that runs through all, activating it for good.
:- Doug.
We have such a picture in the West of things being made up of smaller particles that we have a hard time seeing the arrow pointing the other direction. It seems equally true that the possibilities and the larger call forth the smaller parts, at least call them forth for certain functions.
God is the all, then, in this view, the all that is all this and transcends all this. God is personal and intimate because we are a part. Prayer is not then to an external rescuer but to the wholeness: it is communion and meeting.
:- Doug.
We are doing something larger, something significant, changing the course of the world, whenever we consciously seek to work for the good of the whole.
:- Doug.
If we look at the ultimate wholeness of reality, then it is clear that this wholeness co-emerges with us. If we use the word God to refer to this ultimate reality, we see that God is co-emergent with us. We are integral to God. We know God intimately.
:- Doug.
