Personal Reflection 16

 The existence of God is a fact taken for granted by me, but this is only because God has not ordained me to fully investigate the problem of His existence. Now is the time for me to investigate that problem according to God's light on my reason. The existence of a principal power in this universe or reality is inferred from the general facts of reality itself. This investigation of general factuality has been found to be more satisfactory to my intellect than the more ancient arguments such as by Aquinas and the likes.

The general fact is that for our world to change, there has to be a regulator of that change, a ruler. That ruler is what we know as God. However, before we may know Him as God, we know Him as Truth, Law, and Will. God is Truth, for He is the Truth of Reality itself, God is Law, for He rules everything, and God is Will, for He moves everything as the first cause of all things. However, without intuited revelation, that is the limit of what we can know about God.

If we simply look at the finite world, there can be no reaching the conclusion of a simple infinity that is the God which we are more accustomed with. For there is no logical link between the finite world and the infinite reality of God. We can say that within Truth there is everything, but in what form? In actuality or simply in essence, thus making them potential only. Thus the truth that God is experience, is also unreachable by the natural mind.

For it is not outside of the realms of possibility that the reality of God ends with the Truth. That is a sovereign which does know everything but not in the phenomenal sense of the word "know". Such sovereign regulates goodness, but only out of nature, and not out of any actual goodness within that Truth. The Truth actualizes, that is it creates, but it seems to create everything, without any discrimination. Those worlds we see in fiction, are real in relationship to themselves. 

However, the fact that we may imagine anything means that the contents of our imagination must be real according to the Truth. For there is no law against the existence of anything which does not violate logical laws, if such laws are to be believed in the first place. Without any particular laws to stop anything from existing, then all things exist in the first place. This is what I would call a radical ontological argument, because it does not only treat of the existence of God, but also the existence of all other things.

The full argument goes like this. We have a thought of X. There is Truth of X. If there is Truth of X, X exists. Therefore, X exists. This thus can be applied to God, we have a thought of God, there is Truth of God, if there is Truth of God, God exists, therefore God exists. It has been revealed to me that this is the simplest and best argument for the existence of God and all other things. With this the problem of God's existence is resolved simply.
