Why in the world would I want to shut out out what is greater? I just conceptualize what that is differently. I just don’t think the what-is-greater is a being in its own right, apart from every living being who somehow maintains psychic communication with every human being. It’s true that the creative thrust of being-ness predates hominids and will go on finding a way even if, in our fallenness, we bring it all down around us on this planet. But what-is-greater is everywhere and already onboard each of us too. In our fallenness we think we are just our limited focused attention and that everything depends on what we do with it. But our capacity for self assessment is effected by our fallenness. People should spend more time doing things that don’t depend on analysis. Just refocusing that capacity into theology will just spread the contagion. Instead of seeking a management role we should keep in mind that all our splendid mental capacities are to serve what is greater. Even if we are so estranged that we could swear there is nothing else to who we are we should have faith that is not true. It is always there but you’ve got to be quiet enough and patient enough and humble enough not to keep taking over.
