Preparatory Text 6

Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit, as it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end, amen. This might be the last preparatory text before the next Project of Revelation is written and published. So in this text, I aim to write about the general framework of reality as based from the truth of God and creation. Reality is one, but can be divided into 2 objects in the end, that is necessary reality and contingent reality. Necessary reality is also known as God, while the contingent reality is known as the universe, creation, or the world.

For any particular reality can only be in one particular state, then there can only be one necessary reality, one God, and so only one contingent reality, that is one universe. However, there is technically more than just 1 contingent reality, as the single contingent reality is a composite, it is composed of many simpler contingencies. Those contingencies are also composed as every contingent reality is a composition. For the very least, a contingent object is the composite of God, that is Existence, and an essence, which some people say is non-existence.

Now while the nature of God is generally known, the nature of contingent reality is more difficult to ascertain. We only know that God and the universe are kind of opposites. God is one, the universe contains many, God is simple, the universe is not, God is necessary, the universe is not, and various other differences. For example, we know that God is necessarily infinite awareness and so there is a union between existence and awareness in God. However, does the same apply to the universe? Is the universe composite between awareness and existence, or does it possess the same union as in God?

Such problems are undetermined and it is possible we may never know. However, it is clear that the proposition of “Non-aware object” that is an object which is pure matter without any awareness in it, does not contradict the logical law. Now if the universe were to be wholly awareness, it would imply that there is a single being of the universe, a so called universal soul. Yet this would go against the presupposition of other souls. Other souls means that there is not only one soul in this universe, but there is really many souls, truly distinct and separate from each other. This would imply that the universe is a common object accessible by these souls and the souls are at the same time part of the common object, they can access each other.

However, what is clear is what happens when a soul perceives or is aware of a particular object, there is a certain union between that soul and the object. As the soul is a being of awareness, its union is primarily through awareness as well. Yet the soul which primarily refers to human beings, are hylomorphs. They possess a material and an immaterial aspect to them. The body is itself an object of awareness, even if the primary object of awareness is the soul, the body being united to the soul becomes an object of awareness as well. Now, the human is not God even over their own existences. We can forget things and thus lose knowledge of parts of ourselves. So there are aspects which we may not know of ourselves which nonetheless still contributes to our being. Therefore the human reality is evidence that an object may be composite of both awareness and non-awareness and yet still be a coherent object. For that reason, we may possess union by both aware and non-aware means.

The aware union of humans happens through the means of knowledge. The non-aware union of humans happens through the means of unconscious union. I was going to write bodily or material union, yet the initial union with God, known as sanctifying grace, is not a bodily union nor is it material. It is a spiritual and immaterial union, yet while we can know whether we are in a state of union or not, we cannot actually know that union. Yet there may be a better way to distinguish the unions. There is real union and perceived union. Perceived union necessitates real union, but real union may happen without perceived union. This follows the general model of existence being the cause of awareness, and thus leading to the separation model.

Ringkasan Santo Basilius Agung

Kemuliaan kepada Bapa, dan Putra, dan Roh Kudus, seperti pada permulaan, sekarang, selalu, dan sepanjang segala abad, amin. Santo Basilius Agung, lahir kemungkinan di tahun 329 AD dan wafat tanggal 1 Januari  379 AD, merupakan seorang Bapa Gereja dan juga Santo yang besar. Seperti banyak orang kudus, dia tidak selalu kudus, dia pernah memiliki sifat duniawi dan kecukupan diri. Namun, akhirnya dia bertobat dan mulai menjalani hidup kudus. Dia dikenal dalam perjuangannya melawan bidat Arianisme yang mengkompromi ajaran Tritunggal dan Keilahian Kristus. Namun, dia juga berkeutamaan dalam melayani kaum papa dan banyak orang lain. Dia banyak menderita dalam perjuangannya melawan ajaran sesat, karena terasing dan dibenci banyak orang. Bahkan dia menerima kritik dari sesama orang kudus seperti Paus Santo Damasus dan Santo Hieronimus. Dia menghendaki persahabatan dengan Roma tapi sepertinya Roma mengambil jarak darinya. Namun dalam masa menyulitkan seperti itu, dia masih berjuang demi kesa...

Kesaksian Retret Tafsir Mimpi 16-18 Juni 2023

  ·        Tanggal: 20 Juni 2023 ·        Waktu: 16:19 ·        Topik: Retret Tafsir Mimpi ·        Penulis Batin: Kristus Pada tanggal 16 sampai 18 Juni, 2023, aku mengikuti suatu retret tafsir mimpi di rumah retret Panti Semedi, Klaten. Di situ aku mengalami perubahan hidup yang luar biasa. Sebenarnya tidak mengubah secara radikal tapi meneguhkan wahyu Allah kepadaku. Aku menulis ini bukan dengan suatu hikmat tapi secara apa adanya, untuk menyampaikan suatu kesaksian tentang kemuliaan Allah. Pertama, teori. Kami belajar dari Imam Wolfgang Hermann Bock Kastowo, SJ, bahwa mimpi adalah pesan Allah dan diri kepada diri kita sendiri tentang siapa kita dan masalah kita dan solusi dari masalah tersebut. Jika memperhatikan mimpi dan melaksanakan Sabda Allah dalam mimpi dengan baik, maka kita akan mampu berkembang dalam hidup dengan lebih baik lagi. Salah satu ...

Wahyu tentang Ignas

9 July 2023 19:44 Dari Kristus Hai umat manusia yang Aku cintai! Shalom Aleichem b’Shem Yashua HaMashiach ! Pada waktu yang lalu, Aku tidak dan belum memperoleh izin untuk menyampaikan pesan ini kepada kamu. Namun sekarang, justru Allah Bapa yang ada di surga telah mengeluarkan Sabda yaitu Aku sendiri untuk meneruskan Sabda ini kepada dunia. Ignas sudah mengeluarkan Sabda ini pada bagian pertama kepada suatu kelompok orang yang terpilih di hari Sabtu, tanggal 8 Juli 2023. Sekarang, Aku mengeluarkan Sabda ini dalam kepenuhannya. Ignas sudah bersabda bahwa dia dan Aku adalah satu kesatuan, tapi apa makna kesatuan itu? Dalam beberapa kali Aku bersabda kepada Ignas, Dia selalu bertanya apakah makna kesatuan itu. Beginilah katanya, “Tuhan, apakah pewahyuan ini tentang kodrat semua orang yang percaya, bahwa sesungguhnya mereka beroleh persatuan dengan-Mu?” Aku menjawab, “Bukan Ignas, ini tentang dirimu dan hanya tentang dirimu.” Tentunya ini mengganggu Ignas, tapi Dia mengenali bahwa i...
