Time.
A quality beyond our comprehension. We perceive such a narrow aspect of this all-encompassing motive Force. To what do we liken it?
The topic of these forums provides a metaphor. Far from perfect, but, in a crude way, helpful (at least it has been for me:)
Since a boy, I've wondered at cinema. How a reel of projection film can contain the entire history of the universe created by it's producers. It IS that universe. O___O Each frame is like a plank in a boardwalk which, for us, runs in only one direction. If we run the film through it's projector, we can enter that universe and experience it's time as though it is the same arrow that governs our "reality". If we freeze one frame upon the screen, we could leave it there for a million years. We could experience eons within just one moment of that celluloid cosmos. Should we fast-forward or reverse the stream, we become time-travelers. If we hold the reel before it is played, we hold the power of creation. Remove the take-up reel after the show, and we hold that entire world, realized.
There is a Logic that controls the passage of a film through it's projector. That Wisdom is a re-presentation of the guiding Force that formed the system. Time, and that being which propels it, forms our creator.
For mathematics to support this view, one should read the works of Frank Tipler. Essentially, there is past, present (or the sum of all presents) and future. The Start-State, The Run-State, and The End-State.
Muslims and Jews insist that God is One. They are quite correct. But God cannot logically exist in the same state at all times. God would be shackled more thoroughly than the most helpless human captive. Three aspects of the Godhead. Muslims and Jews are, in fact, every bit as Trinitarian as Christians.
