Schrodinger wrote in his essay that “the total number of minds in the universe is one".
Pascal was being intellectually stand-offish in the wager, wasn't he?
Do you believe in gravity because you have nothing to lose and everything to gain?
No, you are intimately familiar with the ins and outs of gravity in all aspects of your daily life.
Some people really don't seem to perceive God, but I'm not them, so I can't be sure. I always sensed that God knew all my thoughts and feelings, from my earliest memories, so I am fortunate in that sense, though I made a decision to try everything else between first and second grade, despite my conscience being very clear in advising me better.
It really did take some time to get back on track, and I argued with my conscience that "I could catch up later". Now I'm pretty sure that "later" is different than it would have been.
Maybe I'll live to be really old... that's a mixed-blessing, huh?
I still wonder about the lives of those who seem, and purport to be, insensate to God...
Right. Sure. Gnosis is inherent, and everyone is born with it. But most people prefer to sense the material environment rather than their ethereal origins and connections. You have not forgotten, even though you ignored it for a time. Same for me. That puts us in the "pneumatic" camp, according to gnostic definitions. Most folks are in the "psychical" camp, which means they pay more attention to their emotions than their Self. And those poor atheists, the "hylics," have forgotten so deeply that they deny our pneumatic gnosis even exists. We'll all get there eventually...
Blessings to all who get back " on track " and blessings to those who haven't yet because it's always open to them to do so....and may remembrance come to the poor " hylics " sooner than later !
