Which is highest power of this universe ?

[Union jack]

Absolutely

Then I would consider God to be a process similar, maybe, to a computer program.

I am talking about God as in truth - not as a person

 

[Union jack]

Yeah me too, I was trying to bypass all the flunkies and reach the ultimate truth.

How so?

 

[LemonGrenade]

What do you think ?

Nature. Dunno if that's a power or not. :rainbow1:

 

[Union jack]

How so?

Dispassionate.

 

[Riverwolf]

Dispassionate.

Not sure I follow.

Love is an emotion, whereas computer programs are logical.

Depends upon our interpretation of the word in the sentence: God is love.
For me, 'God' is calmly objective.

Then by your interpretation, God cannot be love.

I have had to harden my heart from the way it was before for the sake of a future with my girlfriend. For I used to be able to speak much more compassionately, but I was also suffering major depression.

I'm going to assume you know of the gunas.

'Till recently I'd been living in Tamas. Obviously the ultimate goal is Sattva, but first I must go through Rajas. Thus my heart must be hardened so I can act when I am needed.

Love is not always gentle, as the story of Baldur illustrates.

How is 'love' not calmly objective as per your example?

 

[Riverwolf]

How is 'love' not calmly objective as per your example?

Love is an emotion. Perhaps I should have been more accurate with my wording.

It's the intellect that causes us to be less gentle when we want the best.

It's said that love makes us do crazy things. This is absolutely the case when the intellect is not involved.

Words can have transient definitions such as 'sick' and 'awfully glad to see you.'

Objective in a sense that God is person somewhere else , or objective you as a God ?

 

[Riverwolf]

Which is relevant... how?

 

[Union jack]

Isn't the revelancy self-evident by thru my example of transient definitions?

 

[Riverwolf]

Isn't the revelancy self-evident by thru my example of transient definitions?

Nope. Sorry.

 

[Union jack]

That denouncement doesn't hold water in my court.

 

[Riverwolf]

That denouncement doesn't hold water in my court.

So, you're not going to explain it?

I was explaining the relationship between love and intellect, and you suddenly started talking about the fact that words sometimes have double meanings.

If your intended audience doesn't understand your meaning, it's on you to explain it. Not like you're telling a joke.

But the question remains; Did Time create Love; or Love/Time?

To create anything there's need of TIME at first place, Because the word "Create" is the by-product of Time, if there would have have been no Time, than there would have been no words like "Create" or "Created". Thus.. the thing which was created at first place by WHOEVER, was Time.

You want to call this WHOEVER as LOVE, or not, its upto you.

I know. I wasn't dreaming; I was very much awake.

Yes, you was awake in your dreams
