But what does that mean?

It really means infinite recursiveness,

tracking forward to the “end of time”

~Example 1: like those painted doll–within–a–doll Russian or Chinese dolls, where there is always yet ANOTHER (smaller) doll within

~Example 2: an ONION… where there is inevitably yet another (smaller) layer

[carrying within itself still other smaller layers]

Note that there is actually a ‘double power’ to this:

First, is its infinite ~spring effect.

Second is the nature of the proposed dynamic – whereby infinitely compelling potentialities ‘down-the-road’, “ignite” the present.

* Mitosis of “0” *
(my term)


We do not know what existed pre–Big Bang.

Let us call it “0”

We can make assumptions about “voids” of various flavors, but we certainly do not know

Best to just call it “0”

Now, moving forward…

At CREATION, “0” is presumably divided in multiple ways, many beyond our capability of even beginning to fathom at this point…

counter–balancing Negatives and Positives…

0 divides into

+1, -1.........+2, -2 etc.,

Positives and Negatives;

Polar and anti-Polar,

Male and Female; * * * (see Book #1)

Split the atom and create an atomic bomb;

Split “0” and ignite a cosmos (a powerful concept,
even by the standards of this volume)

Hypothetically, split “0” into Emerging Potential...and a Cosmic Vacuum

and you will have a rapidly and dynamically expanding Potential

So, we see that both
examining “0”
and/or

examining the possible    >>> splitting of “0” <<< 
are both very rich mines to plumb.

••• TOOL:
* Vacuum–busting *
(my term)


Abhorrence of vacuums on all different levels

(metaphysical, reality and other levels)

Vacuums – metaphysical or otherwise – are abhorred7

Nature abhors a vacuum. And it presumably abhors a

‘vacuum of principles,’ as well.

So, ‘initially,’ if ‘initially’ can be said to exist, we are faced with a potential ‘vacuum’ situation.

NOTES by KHALIL


7 The Physical Vacuum: This ‘abhorrence,’ as it were, can be allegorized as ‘negative pressure.’ A vacuum exerts a ‘pull’ on adjacent matter and thereby seeks its own obliteration. The greater the relative vacuum, the greater the negative pressure, the greater the ‘abhorrence,’ and the more likely the vacuum is to obliterate itself.

DAVID BIRNBAUM THEORY OF EVERYTHING

DAVID BIRNBAUM THEOGONY THEORY

The vacuum–breaker principle was quest for a possibility
of a principle – or embryonic Quest for Potential
.

And perhaps, reacting to a potential VACUUM situation,
Q4P then ultimately achieves a ‘life of its own,’ feeding upon itself, looping around itself billions upon billions of times, seeking to achieve critical mass… and eventually apparently doing so, first metaphysically, and then in full–blown reality.

The Consciousness Level of the Cosmic Order is not static; it is dynamically morphing.

The Reality Richness of the Cosmic Order has not been static; it has morphed to this point.

Combine all-of-the-above dynamics, and you have a symphony of ongoing morphing and ever-increasing richness and advance.

Creation / “Big Bang” [the Potential Point] was possibly at the boundary where metaphysics “morphed” into physics, and thus both fields (metaphysics and physics) are fully engaged.

We, in contemporary times, for example, intersect with this extraordinary pulsating, morphing advancing Cosmic Order at-one-specific particular-point-in-time. But understand that between the time you started this sentence and the time you finish it, the entire Cosmic order will have incrementally morphed.

9 Infinite Divine Extraordinariation A: With this concept, the author presents a concrete endpoint towards which the path of both human and cosmic potential is directed. It represents the completion of a metaphysical framework introduced in God and Evil and described more fully here.

10 Infinite Divine Extraordinariation B: The quest for one’s potential need not be a spiritual experience, particularly if the endpoint is left undefined. Here the author takes a clear stand as to the endpoint, describing it as necessarily spiritual and indeed Divine. The concept of the Potential Point still allows for a multiplicity of goals (as will be exemplified in the 120 Angels) but it ties these goals together in the singular aim of reaching the state of Infinite Divine.

GAMMA: Lead-in

from Book 1 (God and Evil)

Quest for Potential

drives the cosmos

All advance, life, reality, creativity, texture, progress

flows from this one Singularity

Quest for Potential is at the epicenter of the Divine

Now, Book #2 (God and Good) can be encapsulated
in one phrase…

At the end–of–the–rainbow,

the Infinite Divine Extraordinariation1, 2, 3

retroactively ignites Creation.

The most awesome potential of all might be… after all, ...Potential Divinity…

meaning... at the “end–of–the–rainbow”... at the end of hopefully many millennium of human advance in consciousness... almost as an INFINITY to be  approached, but not quite realized, is “INFINITE

DIVINE EXTRAORDINARIATION”…and it is this   

awesome POTENTIAL at the very end-of-the-rainbow

which IGNITED Creation.

DAVID BIRNBAUM ACADEMIC

DAVID BIRNBAUM PHILOSOPHY

* DAVID BIRNBAUM PHILOSOPHY *

DAVID BIRNBAUM PHILOSOPHY

Meaning, YES, via its awesome POTENTIAL
“the DIVINE” at Infinity–forward, retroactively ignites Creation at Infinity–backwards...

* * * for, only this INFINITE DIVINE EXTRAORDINARIATION would have the POTENTIAL–power to suck LIFE & CREATION from out of the VOID * * *

So, is the Divine

- at the beginning, or

- ongoing, or

- at the end?

NOTES by KHALIL


1 Infinite Divine Extraordinariation A: With this, “Divine Perfection” which was left somewhat dangling metaphysically in God and Evil, is hereby made crucial for the creation and sustenance of the cosmos. Divine Perfection is rescued, as it were.

2 Infinite Divine Extraordinariation B: In God and Evil the prime role of the Divine was as igniter of the cosmos. In God and Evil the Divine was seemingly detached from the maintenance of the universe. Now it is clear, the Divine has a direct role in the perpetual progression of the cosmos, as Quest for Potential pierces through time and space to continually energize life and existence.

3 Infinite Divine Extraordinariation C: As in Book #1 (God and Evil) the reader is essentially given the implicit option of jettisoning the “religious” Divine, for a “secular” Divine of pure potential. The author tilts in the “religious” direction, and writes his works in that context, but both works can be read either way – and the author is meticulous in leaving both options implicitly open. Essentially the author, while writing within the Jewish context he works within, is saying (at not inconsiderable theological peril) that philosophically the cosmos can be viewed – and approached – either way. 

DAVID BIRNBAUM COSMOLOGY

DAVID BIRNBAUM THEORY OF EVERYTHING

* DAVID BIRNBAUM PHILOSOPHY *

DAVID BIRNBAUM PHILOSOPHY OF SCIENCE

Infinite Divine Extraordinariation is consequently FULLY MANIFEST only at the hypothetical “END”, at the “end–of–the–rainbow” (but the DIVINE POTENTIAL also “ignites” the ‘BEGINNING’) the (embryonic) DIVINE courses right through all, through all humanity and life, and is inextricably part–and–parcel of all the Cosmos and all of its life-components through all eternity.

Thus, Divine POTENTIAL

is not only at the beginning,

it actually ignites the BEGINNING…

and IGNITES the Cosmos.

DIVINE POTENTIAL ignites the “journey” from

“POSSIBILITY”

through

“the METAPHYSICAL”

onward through

“REALITY”

and onward through ever–ascending levels of

“CONSCIOUSNESS”

and presumably towards

INFINITE DIVINE EXTRAORDINARIATION.

In my first opus (G & E),

I posit that

Quest for Potential

drives the cosmos.

DAVID BIRNBAUM METAPHYSIST

* DAVID BIRNBAUM PHILOSOPHY *

PHILOSOPHY OF DAVID BIRNBAUM

This has the advantages of being

ELEGANT, SIMPLE, POWERFUL.

I posit that POTENTIAL

is at the epicenter of the Divine.

But the still–open–question here is:

What POTENTIAL – or bundle–of–potentials –

was powerful enough to IGNITE the cosmos?

Is man’s potential, and the ‘cosmic potential’ a powerful–enough “MATCH” to light–up the cosmos?

The most awesome potential of all might be… after all, Infinite Divine Extraordinariation...

To our Readers -

By now you “have-the-drift” regarding the core concept of Quest for Potential,

but “having-the-drift” is not sufficient for a major metaphysics presentation,

NOTES by KHALIL

1 Torah use A: There are two ways to quote a biblical passage. One might either reference a detail from the Torah and use it merely to introduce a concept that is otherwise unrelated to biblical principles. Or, one might take a hold of – and embrace –
central biblical principles, and use them as the foundation for developing a thought. The former approach uses the Bible artificially as a veneer to make foreign concepts palatable. The latter, clearly the method of this author, reflects a natural comfort with the Torah. This author does not employ the Torah as an afterthought to build an argument; rather, to him the Torah is a primary source for this novel metaphysics. He discerns key metaphysical themes permeating the Torah.

Again,

“God is ONE and his NAME is ONE”

Deuteronomy 6:4

It is this ONE singular dynamic which both encompasses all, and which drives – and indeed, IS, the entire cosmos. It is, as well, simultaneously the embryonic  Divine, seeking to become Infinite Divine Extraordinariation. Q4P chases after it’s own tail. Meaning, Quest for Potential seeks it’s infinite perfect potential.

The metaphysical currents – and the equations –
and the metaphysical manifestations of the Divine Potential – explored the different options for the planned Big Bang [Potential
Point], ...intended to transform POSSIBILITY into REALITY… from thence onto LIFE itself... and from thence onward towards the Infinitely Infinite Divine Extraordinariation…

Too much intensity in the initial ACTUALIZATION spark (the intended “Big Bang” [Potential Point] ), and the newly actualized cosmos would spin out of control into cosmic debris; Too little intensity, and the cosmos–creation–attempt would fold back into itself and implode.2

The odds of just the INTENSITY alone

(let alone the COMPOSITION)

being just right are in the realm of longer than

1 in 10 to the trillionth power… very very remote for hitting something perfectly by random chance.

But the calibration for the attempt was set3 .

The cosmic fuse was lit.

The billions of POTENTIALITIES were now all lined up… as if a billion gates were aligned perfectly… finally, finally… enfin

And at the very, very end of the matrix was the Infinite and, Infinite Divine Extraordinariation.

Everything was set.

NOTES by KHALIL


4 b’zalmeinu: The classic question is: why the plural? Perhaps it is potentiality, the Cosmo’s timeless force [and it’s inter–related cumulative cosmic consciousness] that is God’s metaphysical interlocutor.

5 betzelem: In Chapter One of his Guide of the Perplexed Maimonides draws on Platonic concepts and explains: “The term image [tzelem]… is applied to the natural form, I mean to the notion in virtue of which a thing is constituted as a substance and becomes what it is.” Incredibly, this concept –
developed in the very beginning of Maimonides’ treatise –
fits perfectly with this author’s novel concept of Potential
Point. Indeed by declaring that man is created “in our image” the Torah indicates that humankind will “become what it is.” Embryonic Divine will become the Potential Point.

NOTES by KHALIL


6 Equation mode: The equation mode is a world well known in science: a world of positives and negatives. Our lives exist on this continuum and our decisions determine our position. Neutrality is elusive, and human action will generally influence the direction in which we move.

7 Modes (A): The author uses these four modes as an explanatory vehicle. There have been a spectrum of ‘modes’
in the ‘run–up’ to today’s reality.

8 Modes (B): Modes are not replaced by subsequent modes.
All exist today. One mode will simply overlay the preceding one, as the universe is made more textured and nuanced. The individual whose perception allows him to penetrate that which is immediately apparent on the surface, will discern inter–related universal constructs unifying all. The penetrating mind will thus find some level of universality behind the world’s complexity.

9 Modes (C): Under Birnbaum’s schema, the divine achieves
“full flower” at the infinite ‘end’ of the process – as opposed to the ‘beginning’ of the process. Again, Humanity is not separate from the Divine, but rather, it is intertwined with the Divine, in its work–in–progress capacity as ever–ascending embryonic Divine.

NOTES by KHALIL


10 Communicative (A): In Orot Teshuva, Rav Kook writes that with sin man experienced detachment from fellow creatures. Man becomes isolated and alone until he repents. Rav Kook reasonably points to a familiar emotional response – the ‘outsiderness’ associated with sin or failure. With regard to this he writes: “It is impossible to express this vastly profound concept.” The author’s principle that all creation is communicative, provides insight into how such feelings arise.

11 Communicative (B): Considering Rav Kook’s spiritual observation in light of the author’s framework, it can be concluded that when an individual sins – failing to advance towards his potential – the collective cosmos objects to this action, and the individual senses this dissatisfaction. In the fourth chapter of his Orot Teshuva Rav Kook writes: “The individual and the collective soul, the world soul, the soul of all realms of being cries out like a fierce lioness in anguish for total perfection, for an ideal form of existence, and we feel the pain, and it purges us... And the soul grows toward perfection.” Thus, Rav Kook (a man of astonishing spiritual sensitivity) detected a sort of global inter–communication that was driving man towards his potential and spiritual perfection. [Birnbaum’s themes dovetail with Kook’s from the very beginning of the Summa Metaphysica series.]

EPSILON: Notes & Observations

Note:

If there is a mutation or natural selection which Quest for Potential assesses will optimize further the course towards this “Divine,” we re–orient, and ‘morph’ the entire species in that direction; Else, if perceived to offer no particular advantage, it is Thank You, but No Thank You. Evolution is driven primarily by the overarching imperative of Potential. Ditto for natural selection.

Q4P as related to Evolution/Natural Selection is hypothesized here to have at least six core inter-related key levels:

I list them in ascending levels, with the foundation level listed first:

initial viability potential

survivability potential

diversity potential

holistic potential (to enhance the potential of the

greater environment of organisms)

potential to potentially ‘father’ more advanced

potentials

(medium-long term) 

extraordinariation potential

So, the process may be more profound than the raw data may reveal.   

Regarding those who argued for the “Intelligent Design” theory and those who argued for “Evolution,” both were partially correct. However, remember, it was the Evolutionists who attempted (pretty successfully) to thoroughly invalidate the champions of ID (Intelligent Design) – not the other way around.

But the author of Intelligent Design is, ultimately, actually, ourselves, the transcendent Embryonic Infinite Divine Extraordinariation.

And, while evolution does occur, and is employed by Quest for Potential when advantageous, it is but a subcomponent of the grander saga.

So, on some dramatic level, the Potential Divine-reality

actually is ‘re-inventing’ itself…over-and-over the span of many billions of eons of the cosmic drama.

Traversing from the metaphysical…presumably then through a ‘bridge state’ of some sort…traversing onward into reality (at the Potential Point*) and then onto ever-higher and higher ultimate Infinite Divine Extraordinariation...

Part I: Cosmic Womb part – deliberately – one BEFORE Principia Metaphysica – and one AFTER – are integral and key sub-axioms to Principia Metaphysica.

The orientations of The Unified Formulation v. Principia Metaphysica are slightly different – but obviously dovetail and have overlap.

The two formulations should ‘stitch together’ seamlessly.

(You will note that Group 1000 seems to be missing; The reason is that we employed the 1000 number for the APPENDICES in Book #1 [in 1988], following upon-the-heels of the Unified Formulation, for ease-of-reference for our readers. In retrospect, the APPENDICES should not have been assigned the 1000 number.)
