Unless I strawman or misunderstand the point, which we are all terribly prone to for being cast into the paradox, existentialism... and are gathered here "together," gloriously embattled, headpiece filled with straw, imploring each other that the measure of near complete incompleteness that we mutually judge each other by is "nothingness," "holy" or "mindfulness."... point-storm: So, is word (Word) something. Is it whatever everything is? W is The Word, where any word is x (a.x), but word (quote, "Word" but by context even as "word" distinct from "word.") is not any word (words), if words are word (Word). Anything is everything if it is word. But w is not The Word. It is word. So, word is not something, anything or everything (the explanations why and how it is what it is, instead of what it is, namely word). That word is some x is the paradoxical ecstasy, Logos. It is word. It is what everything is, period. No one is there or not to explain it. They are it. In Christology, the Logos (Greek: Λόγος, lit. Word", "Discourse", or "Reason)[1] is a name or title of Jesus Christ, derived from the prologue to the Gospel of John (c 100) "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God",[2] as well as in the Book of Revelation (c 85), "And he was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood: and his name is called The Word of God."[3] These passages have been important for establishing the doctrine of the divinity of Jesus since the earliest days of Christianity.[4] According to Irenaeus of Lyon (c 130-202) a student of John's disciple Polycarp (c pre-69-156), John the Apostle wrote these words specifically to refute the teachings of Cerinthus,[5] who both resided and taught at Ephesus, the city John settled in following his return from exile on Patmos.[6] Cerinthus believed that the world was created by a power far removed from and ignorant of the Father, and that the Christ descended upon the man Jesus at his baptism, and that strict adherence to the Mosaic Law was absolutely necessary for salvation. Therefore, Irenaeus writes, The disciple of the Lord therefore desiring to put an end to all such doctrines, and to establish the rule of truth in the Church, that there is one Almighty God, who made all things by His Word, both visible and invisible; showing at the same time, that by the Word, through whom God made the creation, He also bestowed salvation on the men included in the creation; thus commenced His teaching in the Gospel: "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. The same was in the beginning with God. All things were made by Him, and without Him was nothing made. What was made was life in Him, and the life was the light of men. And the light shines in darkness, and the darkness comprehended it not."[7] John 1 - 15: The Word Became Flesh 1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2 He was with God in the beginning. 3 Through him all things were made; without him nothing was made that has been made. 4 In him was life, and that life was the light of all mankind. 5 The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome[a] it. 6 There was a man sent from God whose name was John. 7 He came as a witness to testify concerning that light, so that through him all might believe. 8 He himself was not the light; he came only as a witness to the light. 9 The true light that gives light to everyone was coming into the world. 10 He was in the world, and though the world was made through him, the world did not recognize him. 11 He came to that which was his own, but his own did not receive him. 12 Yet to all who did receive him, to those who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God— 13 children born not of natural descent, nor of human decision or a husband’s will, but born of God. 14 The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us. We have seen his glory, the glory of the one and only Son, who came from the Father, full of grace and truth. 15 (John testified concerning him. He cried out, saying, “This is the one I spoke about when I said, ‘He who comes after me has surpassed me because he was before me.’”) 16 Out of his fullness we have all received grace in place of grace already given. 17 For the law was given through Moses; grace and truth came through Jesus Christ. 18 No one has ever seen God, but the one and only Son, who is himself God and[b] is in closest relationship with the Father, has made him known. The Terrible Paradox of Finally Transcending Sisyphus What is John 1 - 15: The Word Became Flesh? It is religion of spirit, soul, mind, mindfulness or everlasting life — the illogical logos (in the paradox of life and death: blood) as reason, the ecstacy of love and war. It is the error (that is the mayhem) that what is word, namely everything can be explained beyond itself, and that is what existence is, and its subject "humans," and even worse, "posthumans," who are word as paradoxically not word, but "The Word" (that which whoever becomes one with The One [God or (Artificial) Intelligence] has). Next-tier spiral dynamics is the escalating claim into the abyss of everyone (person or personification) as supposedly empowered by Its Intelligence to be white light oracle (guru-nothingness) and alpha-shaman. |
