GLOSSES ON "GODS"
GLOSSES ON "GODS"
Imagining what now is not, as though it were so, is, into and of itself, a foretaste of glory, of majesty, divine.
Creating, realizing, synthesizing that which an imagination has envisioned, exalts that seer from the realm of the fantasizer into the elect clan of gods.
Gods first conceive within their souls, within their hearts and minds. Then they create that good thing that they have conceived, in accordance with a divine algorithm that created them.
Their loss of understanding, their lack of knowledge, culminates in some of the gods' acquiescence in suffering , subjection to wickedness; and worse actual participation in oppression of the widow, the fatherless, the poor.
Whence the verse,"Ye are gods, and all are children of the Most High God;" Ps. 82:6. "But, ye shall fall like princes and die like men, but ye are gods, and I have come to judge among the gods. Arise oh gods, judge the earth! You shall inherit all nations " Psalm 82.
