Understanding or belief in the existence of a Supreme Being is limited by our innate 3-dimensional knowledge of the world. The arrow of time moves only in one direction for us.
But imagine, if you will, a Consciousness that can choose what four-space coordinates to exist in, at any given moment. A Mind that knows Past, Present and Future, simultaneously, and can move at ease to any points in between.
All powerful, all knowing Consciousness, that can also choose not to be physically observed by the eyes of men, but Whose shadow is cast in three dimensions, that we perceive, but as through a glass, and darkly.
And an energizing force for Evil, as a counterbalance? Perhaps necessary as a sink for the entropy created by the movement of the n-dimensional benign consciousness through time and space.
We strive to attach values of “good” and “evil” to the motives of man through the world, but our biggest vanity is that in our own minds, most of always think we are “doing the right thing.”
“If God is with us, then who can be against us?”
Perhaps, but then who is with God? Who abides to the Will and Word of God, above all other things?
Tskhinvali? The premise was that this town was assaulted and “destroyed”, yet apparently it still stands. What is Truth, and what is False? What stands for order, and what stands for entropy?
In their pride, the Georgians sought to hold onto territory full of people that did not wish to be governed by Georgians. They whistled up their worst demon, Russia, who were only too happy to do what they have done for centuries; steal whatever is not tied down. Some of the anecdotal tales of the Georgians are eerily reminiscent of the tales of Germans at the end of WWII. The Russian soldier stealing whatever he could get his hands on.
Sometimes, nothing ever changes. The forces of chaos are being loosened, and even Putin will eventually fail to control them. They are stronger than the will of one man.
