Panentheism and the Tesseract (A Brain-Storm)


Is space linear? Isn't often theorized in quantum physics and string
theory that time and space are not only co-occurring but in essence are one?

Could not the concept of 'infinity' be a cyclical tesseract? Not a horizontal figure 8 but a cubed cube? Wouldn't the cubed cube (tesseract) both folding inward and outward simultaneously, expanding and collapsing, exploding and imploding, folding and unfolding, blossoming and withering, creating and destroying momentum and resistance simultaneously somehow lock us in as a by-product of

the 3rd dimension? If time and space in essence are the same and make a third dimension which is tangible, understandable and expressible by us, could not this tesseract be (for lack of a 4th dimensional term), 'God?' Thus giving weight to my friend's hypothesis (See my blog on Panentheism) that 'God is both or at once emanant and transcendent.'

What precisely is the relationship between God's finite and infinite nature?

I will sum it up for you in one word my only: ''om'. The Mantra speaks of the Mandala in one word. Have you you ever been in a toning ritual and chanted to the note of the chanting bar? 'Om, 'Ah, 'Um. You pick the Mantra or the chant, they are the same word. That 'precise' definition.

'Unstiffen your supple body.
Unchatter your quiet mind.
Unfreeze your fiery heart.__Celeste West . .'

My friend Phronesus wrote me on the subject of Panentheism:

'Well, what precisely is the relationship between humans as an expression of God and God as an entity? I think the answer is within all humans, and that the answer ought not be difficult to find, because 'finite' and 'infinite' are technically not opposites. The former is merely the latter, except with boundaries and limits. In
other words, 'finite' is a subset of 'infinite', so naturally they are related to each other. And within each 'finite' is an 'infinite'.

This is best portrayed using a mathematical example:

How many numbers exist? An infinite number, of course.
Is the range of numbers from 1 to 10 a subset of infinity? Yes, it is. But how many numbers exist between 1 and 10? An infinite number of numbers, because between any two numbers, there is always another number, no matter how small the fractional numbers get, or how close they get to each other on the number line, there is always a number in between, ad infinitum.'

This indeed leads us to even more questions, however don't we walk away knowing more?
