Abstract and Impractical Perhaps
Naturally the topic of the Absolute is a very abstract
subject, and one that is seemingly impossible to grasp with our mind. After all,
how can the finite (our mind) grasp the infinite, impossible! Despite this,
commonly we regard the absolute as something so very far away and the study of
the Absolute as something impractical. However, from a knowledge point of view,
it is very useful to study the Absolute. The following sections describe why.
Origin and Destination
Why is it useful to study the Absolute? An answer is,
because the Absolute is the very initial origin and the very final resting
point of us all. The Absolute answers those two very fundamental questions that
none of us seem to have an answer for: “where have we come from?” and “where
are we going?”. We have come from the Absolute and at some point we are going
back there. It is our greatest Alpha and Omega.
It is so useful to know where we have come from and where we
are going, so to put our life into perspective and of course, to understand our
origin is to understand ourselves. To understand our final destination is to
understand what we are doing here in creation and life, and at the same time to
get to know how we must travel so to reach our destination.
All Encompassing
The Absolute is the cause of all things and the Absolute
encompasses all. There is nothing that is outside of the Absolute. Just as the
name suggests, the Absolute is the Absolute, and there is nothing beyond it or
greater than it.
