Perceptive ExistenceMay 2, 1987Copyright © 1997 Property of Deborah K. Fletcher. All rights reserved.
This is my philosophy of the existence of all things. It is a philosophy of self- awareness and perception. By my philosophy, i define the existence of all persons, and of all things. I define the existence of emotions, and of Heaven and Hell. I define all things by my own, conceited, view of myself as a being of creative perception, and of a strong self- awareness. I am a being of self-awareness, possessed of a conviction that within my essence exist free will and initiative. By my personal perception, I have created all that which exists within my perception, including a host of beings like myself. each of these beings is self-aware, and each is possed of perception, free will, and initiative. You, the reader, are such a being, for so do I perceive you to be. Each of the self-aware beings which are created by my perception has a special power of creation, which has the same potential from one to another, and which is the same as that power which created each of them. each being of self-awareness creates all that which exists within its perception, and each one bestows powers, rules, and limitations on all that which it creates. You and I are created by all those which perceive us, and we are truly created by their images of us. Therefore, all things are cyclical and circular, as described y Parmenides: "It is necessary to speak and think what is; for being is, but nothing is not... to be and not to be are the same and not the same, and (that) the road of all things is a backward- turning one." As I have created all that which I have perceived, so do I perceive all that which i create. Among the great things in my perception is a creation which i perceive to share with many of the self-aware beings of my perception. This great thing is a perception of the Creator - that which is called God. The Creator is, has been, and will be, and it has created all things. Therefore, all self-aware beings may be perceived to be God, though many perceive God to be a being apart from the perception of creation. This varying of creation according to belief and perception was worded neatly by rene Descartes: "I think, therefore, I am." I perceive emotion as a huge part of creation. I perceive that the only two emotions which exist apart from other thought processes are love and hate, which are greatly synonymous, though hate is not required for love, whereas love is an absolute requisite for hate. No being in my perception can truly hate unless it has first loved every detail of its object. The most vile feeling which can exist without love is mild dislike, and that is a truly loveless feeling. There are two places within my perception which are not of the sphere of physical existence. These two are Heaven and Hell. Heaven is the place which my perception reserves for those who have tried to do what is right, for all other beings, as well as for themselves, throughout their periods of physical existence, and for those who have tried to make retribution for their wrong acts. Hell is the place which I perceive to be a great void - a place of terrifying nothingness. This is the place where my perception exiles all those beings who do not go to Heaven after their periods of physical existence. Both these places are controlled by the perceptions of all self-aware beings, and each has its own perception of Heaven and Hell. My philosophy is strictly my own, but I apply it to all of existence. I exist of my own, power, as does each being in existence. This is my philosophy of existence. Please View and Sign My Guestbook © 1998-2000 Debbie Fletcher, joiya@tcia.net
