••• TOOL:
* Metaphysical > Physical Leveraged BUYOUT *
(my term)
Extraordinary potentials down-the-road are leveraged in metaphysical realms retroactively at the Genesis point
into the ignition of REALITY and the Cosmic Order,
as we know it.
This is a key motif of this two-book treatise.
The theme is developed somewhat in Book #1.
There is a limit to how far I can take it because of its
all-enveloping power.
On some level, this one ‘tool’ defines the ‘revolution’ proposed by Summa Metaphysica2.
NOTES by KHALIL
1 Template Fidelity: This template is particularly conserved between species at the genetic level. Extensive similarity can be found in the genomic sequence of any two organisms, regardless of how different they seem.
2 Leveraged Buyout (in the Torah): The Torah calls for that which God and Good describes as Leveraged Buyout on both the personal as well as the national level.
In the fourth chapter of Exodus a frightened Moses is commanded by God to approach the King of Egypt not as the refugee-shepherd that he now is, but as the formidable leader and revolutionary into which God would soon transform him. Later, the national disheartening of the Israelites subsequent to the negative report of their spies (Numbers 14:1) is criticized as a fatal error (ibid., 14:11,12). It seems from this episode that the Israelites’ mistake was to regard themselves as a vulnerable coalition of freed slaves, instead of a nation that would, in the future, conquer a land promised to them.
These two narratives are examples, among others throughout the Tanach, of the requirement to rely now on the success of the future. It is a powerful tool, based in an otherwise irrational faith, which allows one to overcome impossible odds in the here-and-now.
