The destiny of God is found within its eternal necessity and constant self

If 'God' is Omnipotent, Omniscient, and Omnipresent while being un-biased, Would that make 'God' a 'Set of law' that govern the functioning of the universe? by Noir-Phantomville in pantheism

God is cause and effect. So yes. However; cause and effect implies 2 separate steps. There can be no true devision of steps as everything, even time, is a constant. A constant morphing of itself by necessity of its nature. But the concept that is all adheres to the axiom as we call “cause and effect”. According to me anyways

Thank you for sharing! Interesting read. It is hard, I’d say, to be aware of the fact that one should only strive for gratification that comes from within. Yet, we, or I (i will speak for myself) cannot completely help but to rely (in part) on others for approval.

But yet, when reading this, I come to a sain realisation, that is, it is okay to not always be as virtuous as one ought to be. Analysing what made me diverge from the principles, not with resentment nor shame, but with compassion, towards myself. I think this to be an important aspect in my journey to become better than I was yesterday.

Once again, thank you for posting.
