Re: godlings


But moving in that direction makes it unnecessary for any creature to obtain mithologycal origins - we may count among gods some living men - i.e. some rock stars, worshipped by their fans, or soap opera heroes etc


Quote:
Any concept of God is both created by the human imagination and yet is also a mask of the Absolute, which cannot be conceived
As for that, you can say so about any thing on earth and beyond it, things that are in a primary world, or are only might-have-beens, or visions of any persons imagination. A stone on a road is merely a stone, a mineral with some concrete characteristics, still one who saw it with his own eyes can tell about it to another one miles away from a place where the stone was first spotted. One naming stone with the word stone takes part in creation of all stones by human imagination, giving all of the different stones one mask of stone as stone.

...but what they are really like, and what lies beyond them, only those can say who have climbed them...
