Romans 1:20

Law of resemblence

“Ever since the creation of the

world God’s invisible qualities – his

eternal power and divine nature –

have been clearly seen…from what

has been made.”

“I believe in…God, who

reveals himself in the orderly

harmony of what exists.”

Albert Einstein

So what is the world like?

• Everything has two aspects: an external form and an internal character

• The visible outer aspect resembles or expresses the invisible inner aspect

These are called “Dual characteristics of sungsang and hyungsang”

Inner aspect

If all things in the universe have inner and outer aspects, the Ultimate Cause or Creator of the universe must also

possess the dual characteristics of internal character and external form.

What is God’s sungsang?

What is God’s hyungsang?

Matter is made up of particles

Particles are formed from energy (E=mc2)

Energy is invisible

The hyungsang of God is the pre-energy from which everything is created

It is the cause of the material aspect of all things

"It is he who made the earth by his power, who established the world by his wisdom, and by his understanding stretched out the heavens.”

Jeremiah 51:15

How is this different?

• Materialism - Democritus, Marx– All that exists is matter – It is inanimate and lifeless– Matter ‘creates’ consciousness

• Dualism - Plato, Descartes– There is soul and body but they are completely

different substances

• Idealism - Fichte, Hegel– Ultimate reality is mind

What is the world like?

• Every entity possesses the dual characteristics of yang and yin

• In people, a feminine nature is found latent in men and a masculine nature is found latent in women

Everything exists in relationships

An entity comes into existence only when these characteristics have formed reciprocal relationships, both within the entity and between it and other entities

Pythagorus’ opposites

A B

Why is this important?

• I do not know of any other man who has been as influential as Pythagorus was in the sphere of thought. . . The whole conception of the eternal world, revealed to the intellect but not to the senses, is derived from him.

Bertrand Russell

• It is not merely that the knowledge of earlier generations is communicated to us through the medium of language; the structure of the language itself implies certain views about the nature of the world; and by learning a particular language we acquire a certain picture of the world, a framework for thinking within which we henceforth move without being aware of it.

F.A. Hayek

What are the implications?

“Western thought”, says Derrida, “has always been structured in terms

of dichotomies or polarities: good vs. evil, being vs. nothingness,

presence vs. absence, truth vs. error, identity vs. difference,

mind vs. matter, man vs. woman, soul vs. body, life vs. death,

nature vs. culture, speech vs. writing.

Barbara Johnson

”The whole reductionist enterprise in Western philosophy may be seen as the conquest of B by a transcendent A.”

Hall and Ames

How about good and evil?

• Good and evil are not like positive and negative

• They are not complementary • They repel each other• When they meet there is conflict• It is desirable and possible to have good

without evil• We can appreciate good without knowing
