Adding this idea of an infinite mind just fills a gap …

To be clear it’s them adding this notion of an infinite mind – before Tim mentioned blankie – that is what the infinite mind is.

Of course, I appreciate how important that blankie is to the wellbeing of its owner and would never deprive a child of their blankie.  But that doesn’t change anything about it simply being a security blanket.  But then life gets complicated, for instance you don’t have to be brave to act brave and receive the positive outcomes that come from acting brave and standing up.

What I’m finding increasingly interesting (well okay frustrating too, if I’m honest) how easy it is for folks to read the following and it’s as nothing.  Same old endless conversations about religions and meanings and this and that and the other, chasing that tail – but no pulling back to consider fundamental divisions and what we might be able to learn from them.

For example Lausten just as easily dismisses Evolution as Penrose did, as though it were just some side notion of no relevant significance in and of itself  for us humans and our perspective on reality and religions.  I believe that is huge.  Everyone else seems to think hoohum, as the world keeps burning.

… The missing key is appreciating the fundamental “Magisteria of Physical Reality,” and recognizing both science and religion are products of the “Magisteria of Our Mindscape.”

The domain of Science seeks to objectively learn about our physical world, but we should still recognize all our understanding is embedded within and constrained by our mindscape.

As for the domain of Religion is all about the human mindscape itself, with its wonderful struggles, fears, spiritual undercurrents, needs and stories we create to give our live’s meaning and make it worth living, or at least bearable.

What’s the point?
Science, religions, heaven, hell, political beliefs, even God, they are all products of the human mindscape, generations of imaginings built upon previous generations of imaginings, all the way down.
