Reality as generated by the Will/ existence
field of God ~ Ultimate Reality has the characteristic of generating
and fostering the development, proliferation and the evolution of increasing
complexity of physical life and life forms. Part of this nature is that
organic life forms consume for use in their own internal processes and
growth, materials including other life forms. There is a "food chain"
and therefore predation and the killing of one life form for the benefit
of another. There are also forms of symbiosis and parasitism with organisms
living within and upon other organism both for the benefit of and/or the
detriment of the nominal host organism. Life is a messy and complicated
business with one being's self/ child/ sister/ brother/ father/ mother
serving as meat for another being, no matter where you stand in the food
chain. In addition, there is disease, as we call it, with a nominally
very low level life form destroying the life of a nominally much higher
level life form in the process of its normal life cycle. And then of course
there is simple physical accident resulting in physical damage to or death
of an organism. There is apparently the existence of pain as we human
beings call it experienced at many levels of life forms. It is clear from
this view point that God ~ Ultimate Reality does not
view any of this as either good or bad in any absolute way. It exists
as an inherent part of the nature of the reality which God ~ Ultimate
Reality has generated by the action of its existence field or Will. And
all physical reality and all beings are generated and sustained in existence
by this action and are therefore all part of God. This is a reality in
which any such common question of the type "How can God permit an
occurrence such as (choose anything which you view negatively) to happen?"
has no meaning in reality. God did not "permit" the occurrence
other than in the sense that God ~ Ultimate Reality generates the existence
field within which the occurrence was able to occur. This is not a reality
in which everything is according to a Plan, but rather there is so called,
free will. At the same time, since everything exists within and because
of the existence field generated by God ~ Ultimate Reality, as traditionally
stated, God is aware of the fall of even the smallest sparrow. To the
extent that we learn about and develop our ability to interact consciously
with the existence field generated by God ~ Ultimate Reality, we develop
a degree of ability of manipulate the field or have it manipulated in
our behalf. We can choose to a surprising degree the portions of reality
with which we choose to interact.
