APPENDIX Z25:<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Wher<\/span>e is the Divine?\n <\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Metaphysical challenge:<\/div>\n
Choose from these multiple<\/span>
\n choice options:\n <\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
a) <\/span> <\/span> <\/span>Nowher<\/span>e\n <\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

c) <\/span> <\/span> <\/span>Her<\/span>e\n <\/div>\n
d) <\/span> <\/span> <\/span>Her<\/span>e, and it encompasses
\n all \/ W<\/span>e are part of It\n <\/div>\n
<\/span> <\/span> <\/span>\u2013 and integral to It.\n <\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Summa r<\/span>ejects (a) <\/span>and (b), <\/span>agr<\/span>ees with <\/span>(c) <\/span>but embraces <\/span>(d).\n <\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
The author is dubious that any metaphysics, which\n <\/div>\n
embraces (a) or (b) can present a viable
\n integrated,\n <\/div>\n
holistic and fully-satisfying option. Summa believes
\n that\n <\/div>\n
the metaphysical debate needs to take place within
\n the\n <\/div>\n
embrace of (c) or (d).<\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
\"\"<\/p>\n
Atheism embraces (a)<\/div>\n
Note that Aristotelianism (Aristotle was the student
\n of\n <\/div>\n
Plato, who in turn was the student of Socrates)
\n and\n <\/div>\n
classic mainstream W<\/span>ester<\/span>n (religious) thought classically\n <\/div>\n
both embrace (b).<\/div>\n
T<\/span>aoism and much Eastern
\n philosophical\/religious thought\n <\/div>\n
embrace (c) or (d).<\/div>\n
\u201cWe <\/span>are made <\/span>of light, and we <\/span>are <\/span>all
\n part of God\u2019<\/span>s mind. Most\n <\/div>\n
importantly<\/span>, we ar<\/span>e the universe itself <\/span>having the experience <\/span>of\n <\/div>\n
