The Gordian Knot of Ontology
To many philosophers, Being is thinking. That is, at least definitions, principles and equations first seem to require the mind to see and know. But this is not Being.
Others seem to prefer a principle as Being which is mindless, or existing without a mind or body.
Being defined as Godhood has a Mind and Body, as we do, but far more evolved at the Zenith of Evolution. This means that only the Mind of Godhood can accurately define the Mind and Body of Godhood with Absolute Truth.
Taking the mind only as Being, or taking a principle as Being, is less than half a God. Minds and principles are incomplete without a body. The bias against the material in favor of the non-material is strong in philosophy and theology.
It often seems that thinkers prefer the dazzle of complication to unadorned simplicity. Perhaps philosophy, like other things, reaches a stage of overcomplexity until the complexity becomes an impediment to truth, than it reverts back to simplicity.
Theological materialism defines a supermaterial Godhood which is evolved to from the material to the supermaterial. Perhaps this is more like cutting the Gordian Knot than disentangling ontology.
