Defining Being Existing Or Evolving
Both St. Thomas and Heidegger
seem to be wrong in seeing an existing Being rather than an evolving
Being, but Heidegger might have been more right in the
phenomenological sense of seeing Being only as a “presencing” or
revealing of Itself, whereas St. Thomas saw Being as an always
existing reality and actuality.
Here is why: it is the Spirit-Will
within existing life that reveals Itself, not Being, since Being of Godhood
doesn't exist until it is evolved to. The Spirit-Will is not Godhood, it
seeks Godhood throughout the cosmos by activating material and
supermaterial life to evolve to Godhood.
There are truths unknown until
intellectual intuition or revelation reveal them and then they are
accessible to reason. But the truths first existed in revelation.
Truth can also be revealed, or unveiled, through science. But the
weakness of phenomenology and science is that they seem unable to
seriously address Being or beings that exist outside the mind.
Traditional metaphysics does address things outside the mind.
Can intellectual intuition be called
divine revelation? In the sense of having this sort of contact with
the Spirit-Will within life and activating life rather than a Being It has not yet
been evolved to, perhaps it can be called revelation.
I see “faith” as the zenith of
hypothesis and theory, which is as valid a way to see as
phenomenology or science, and it requires as much integrity and
honesty. Both should be applied.
