CHAPTER 12
THE LIVING GOD IS
NOT INCOMMUNICADO,
BUT MADE THE MINDS
TO MINT INFORMATION:
YOU CANNOT INFORM
WITHOUT MEANING,
AND EVEN OUR BODIES
LACK NEITHER OF THESE
It is amazing how many things that are obvious
become fashion parades of a profoundly ignorant, negative pseudo-sophistication.
Let us examine one from this perspective.
Take information. One major feature for
transmitting the same, is that it informs. It is not data in any old additives,
for that does not inform. It is not data with variabilities of this or that
kind, signifying nothing, for that does not inform. It is not uninformative
convolutions of great splendour or great intricacy or complexity, for these in
themselves, do not inform. Being informed is the question: do you find this
without intelligence, as an offshoot of matter ?
To inform, you need data that can instruct, and
their subjection to mind, their subjugation to format, to make them ordered in a way that can inform, and
that has a logical structure so that a logical being can receive the
information, which without a reception suitable, does not inform. How then is it
information ? It is then merely what could have become information, awaiting the
correlative receptor which can receive the information, and so, being informed,
take the meaning, without which there can be no information.
But what kind of a
receptor can take data which have been linguistically worked upon to the point
that they are intelligible, and so CAPABLE at all of informing ? It is one with
not only a logic correlative to the one in the information, susceptible to its
mode of controlling, ordering and structuring that information, so that it can
mate, but one with detailed correlation, so that the information is not lost in
transmission, but conserved. Since the mode of stating data at the first, and of
working it to make it informative to another, and the correlative other with the
logical, structural, counter-code recognition, must match, there is a vast
amount of work to do, in order to inform.
It may be person to
person, or person to personally correlative program, where the work has been
done to form an automated or directed receptor; but it must be done, and the
canons of communication kept, for how could you communicate without informing,
or inform without communicating!
One must possess the informative qualities
to be invested in the code*C or language; the other must in parallel possess not
only a potential information-receiving quality, but one so closely correlative
to the one in which the information sent is expressed, that the one system,
analysis expressed in conceptual fashionings for transfer, may function in
specific correlation with the other.
Just as logic requires a source, and its removal
of validity from what breaches it is part of its operation, and functionality a source, so the
formulation of data and its expression in transmissible form as information
requires a source; and the common character of the donor of information and
receptor, requires a source; just as matter requires a source, and
intelligence such as recognises, uses and imaginatively applies logic and the
expressive and imaginative cognitive areas in information expression, requires a
source, and the cohesion of all these qualities in one operation, requires
a source.
The source for all these things is not these
things, for to say A begot A is to tell nothing, if it be the same A. It
is an evasion of the question. HOW did A beget A, and on what grounds is it
asserted that what is there is its own source, when before it is put there, it
is not there. In absence it cannot magically institute its presence. Such a
claim
is a mere identity statement. How did it get there ? that is the question.
If in any multi-system orientation, if you do not
know the basis of any element, not because it is not available, but because you
do not choose to recognise it (illustrating the religious approach of the
quasi-secularist, known as The Cult of the Forbidden in SMR pp.
150-151, 330-331, a presuppositional refusal to consider certain kinds of data), what then ? Then
your failure to find an examinable answer constitutes a defective hypothesis. It
does not cover the case, examine the presuppositions, let alone support their
exclusion. It has nothing to say, and if this be the case in any phase of
orientation and application for an hypothesis, then it is invalidated by its
non-testability.
Each term needs
rationale, just as the body to live, requires not an account, say, only of
the gall bladder, but of the blood system and cranial apparatus and so on, as in
the DNA. Yet more even than this, it requires a suitable source for each
element, in case any point is inoperative, while something else is fact is
doing the work, so enabling an explanation when this is realised and
applied, and the case changed to allow for this.
With no basis for any of these things, without
the Eternal Entity, intelligent, communicative, informative, source of ONE
logic, and one LANGUAGE using it in our bodily instruction manual, the DNA, as
in large part it is, hypothesis fails, and that multiply; just as with failure
even to verify multiply and cohesively, it fails all over again. If you cannot
spring the first or last 10 yards, you are not in the race, merely an
encumbrance. Who on earth sends messages to a signalled party without knowing
the purpose of the construction and constriction, the depiction and the point of
the transfer!
These are inseparable
affairs of the mind, where what MUST be is replaced by a creative construction
at option to make, send and signify, embracing a code-signification, word-object
cohesive and consistent choice for the operation of code. The deposit object,
receptor, is similarly selected and secured for the despatch, and unless
elements align, it is meaningless. Alignment, selection, consignment, conversion
back to meaning, response to such assignment (message) are all in this creative
work of information, message meaning, transmissible or not, according to
purpose, and hence able to start or stop, whether directly in inter-personal
communication/information, or indirectly according to receptor-programmed
participation, to be activated or annuled, started or stop, by suitable creative
correlation.
To inform, you need, in the end, a mind to do
it, a correlative mind to receive it, or a constructed substitute for the
matter in hand, and content so ordered as to be correctly subjected data in the
first place, and correlatively constituted agent or agency for information reception in the second.
Without this, nothing and nobody is informed. Such functions of
message-information and reception are no part of the inherent properties of
matter; indeed messages require mind and with it purpose, for such matters are
not only indicative of thought, but constitutive of its very nature in
significant measure.
This requires intelligence to do the work, and to be receptive of it, or their
programmatic substitutes, which of course require greater diligence yet, for
this artificial construction to be able to do the work as instructed. You need
meaning, for the meaningless cannot inform, and you need in the human case,
ordering power associated with the data, and with the reception, so that what IS
ordered CAN happen; and ordered receptors, so that what is, being ordered, sent
to inform, will happen. Those are the specifications for the organising data
behind life, and nothing less.
Does matter order,
other than by established laws ? does it attest in itself powers to make
directive communication, for you cannot order without it ? Do you ever find it
making the correlative communication system, or any part of it, assimilable to
advance in information base ? You find DNA which mutates through transfer from
something else already possessing some element or advanced property, but this
needs its own source, and it is never shown to advance the design type, if by
design you mean that correlated complex of elements which produce one examinable
resultant, possessed of an integral character involving many artful features and
cohesive characters!
MATTER IS NOT FOUND TO
MAKE DESIGNS, BUT TO POSSESS ONE, IN TERMS OF WHICH IT WORKS. It is never found
to transmit information. It does not even begin to write examinable and
interpretable code. It is not a creator, but attests one.
What we DO find
however, in designs, is intelligence with purpose. That is why we
NEVER even once find information, possessed of meaning and addressed to the informable, BEING created except
where intelligence is. The concept of self-making information on a
null-intelligence basis is outrageous in principle, lacking the testable means
for it; and empirically null on the other hand, being as void as is carnage of
life.
Spouting out stuff, or even
ordered stuff, has no more bearing that the cry of a baby, for the transmission
by it, of a message. It is an harassment, not a meaningful ingredient for
whatever the information is sent. So far from ordering, as with the DNA, it is
not even susceptible itself to order. Even if ordered, only if it is SO ordered
as to fulfil the above conditions, is it even relevant to information. Rather it
is a drag on the imperfectly informing, or a void impact on the receptor system.
What then ? These are reasons why sources not associated with
intelligence cannot propound effectively the information and its pointed
receptors.
The other chief aspect, it is this. Sources not
associated with intelligence are not found to be carving or creating or
conducting themselves so as to inform.
It is rather like saying that non-babies on the
one hand, and dead-babies on the other do not act like babies.
Making information is a laborious job, a
disciplined one, a logical one, a cohesive and coherent one, an analytically
enlightened one and a two-fold one, for what does not actually inform is
irrelevant to the cause. It is never found being created except with what
sources its needs, meets its criteria and founds its kind, intelligence.
It is a mental type of
entity, involving concepts for transmission, whether direct to what is to be
informed, or indirectly to an apparatus built to do the work of intelligence,
semi-automatically. It involves the selection of symbol type, language type, of
what is signified, of the matching between them, of the syntactical, the
semantic, the substance, the message, the mode of consistency with other
messages, the co-ordination of all these elements not only within themselves and
their tribe, but relative to the receptor and the availability of a receptor
able to match, part for part, and whole for whole, the message to be received.
It means the making of
meaning, for you cannot be informed without it, together with the translation of
that meaning, and the whole business of making one thing stand for another, in a
systematic and pervasive manner, in which the content is meaningfully
discharged. If matter ever managed to have the mind to do such things, we would
have a different world. We in fact, however, have this one.
Information is for persons, for what CAN be
informed, or for what is matched to do automated service of the type apt for
them. It is never found being manufactured by what CANNOT inform, being merely
an extant entity, ready for building but not granted or attesting the
imaginative insight, for which messages are to form a resultant, nor indeed,
having the symbolic capacities, which underline information, or the coded
commands which express it. If it were otherwise, we could find entities
being informed, entities capable of being so treated and so receptive, and not
mere blocs of data suitable for block-heads, because they lack meaning, let
alone concerted meaning that involves instruction, rather than disorderly
fragments of what informs of nothing, with much ado about nothing.
What is needed to transmogrify matter is not what
is found, except when the intelligence to use it transformatively is present.
Hypotheses to the contrary are contrary to empirical reality. They are magic
emblems of revolt against what is found, and exhibit refusal to come into the
light; while every day we ourselves create information with all its
requirements, and imaginatively construct what is the meaning and coherent
surround of what we have in mind, producing results, just as our own bodies are
result of such meaningful information, constitutive commands, seething in
co-operative constancy*1 and unified consequence.
What we do, in our own small way, is what is
exhibited precisely in type, in what has been done in order to secure our
creation, our coming into being from a position where it was not so. The
principles of and requirements for communication are vast and vastly
exercised all the time, for we are informed, or our correlative apparatus is
informed, in order that we might BE formed, and neither null or deformed, as
operative beings ourselves. Then we inform by the formation of which we are
composed, to make us persons capable of such synthesising activities.
It is an exquisite business and the
consequence requires an adequate cause, not in a romance about what might have
been or could be wished into being, but in an hypothesis which meets every call,
is eminently testable and adequately attested in principle and correlative
practice. When this position, call it hypothesis if you will, is applied,
it must meet every rational challenge, and leave itself without parallel. Thus
scientific method words; and thus is sound thought attested.
Indeed, it is always necessary to have
everlasting energy, for if at any time, all lacked energy, and was null,
evermore would it be the case; but were this so, one could not write, or be, nor
could anything else, for energy is needed for anything to be done. We are here;
so it was there, always.
That energy must always have what is necessary to
have the intelligence needed to create its ilk, or all be lacking, it could not
have 'arisen' to do it; for nothing as all has no effect at all. Nothing could
not have done it, and being the only entity, not even formulable for that is
something, would not have done it. Nullity would be the position,
verbalisable now, but with none there to even do that. Basis on this is
self-contradiction.
What is eternally there, however, is to be
capable of giving the orders of for what is to be, which is sourced in this Eternal
Entity, and not in itself before it is there to do anything, as if
auto-generative before it is made and while absent!; and it is to be capable
also of bringing in the exquisite intricacy of the ceaseless interaction of what
is formulated, formed and created, or these entities
could not have gained it. Nothing is very unproductive, while intelligence plus
power plus eternity plus adequacy, the minimal cause, is highly productive. Even
in our own mini-versions of intelligence, we are intensely active, and even, some
more than others, immensely creative. That is the nature of what has been placed
there, to be investigated.
If the capacity were not there, neither would be
the consequence, whether in matter or mind or spirit, or the diverse activities
assignable experimentally to each of these. You need an informer to inform, a
mind to mind the relevant activities, and a spirit to conceive and create what
thinks and imagines, despises law or logic; and you need logic so that what you
investigate with mind, can receive its match in the area under survey. You
need logic over all, being before all, applicable to any, capacity sufficient
for all, and an originating source not in the results that are delimited and
directed, for these are they which logically require a cause; but to delimit and
direct and so make and maintain the derivative, our universe, with ourselves in
it.
Making something make itself before it is there
is a trifle wearisome. WHEN it IS there, it already has to have a cause. The
ONLY way to have a cause always there, and not in turn subject to a round of
meaningless circuits, none founded, is to have a self-sufficient intelligence,
concertedly making the dependencies, with all their characteristics, which
cannot make themselves from nothing, and depend on what can and does make them
from its eternally sufficient adequacy. It is eternally creative intelligence,
or nothing, literally; and nothing does not work.
Communication,
information, intelligence, causality, the prevalence of logic, the pain of
transgressing it in terms of function, the ascending order of
matter-mind-spirit, the liberty to curse law or find it or breach it on the part
of human beings, the freedom to fudge and dodge or conform to reality and
seek truth not by distortion but by research and reason, heeding the
limits of the empirical and not inventing them, putting theory for fact: all
these things require different orders of causative power, and their sum giving
them coherent summation, this also requires a comprehending and comprehensive
cause.
Imaginative
constructions do not come without mind, since it is needed to do the imagining,
and imagining that imaginative beings make themselves out of unimaginative
matter is merely a peculiarly offensive breach of scientific method. You look NOT for the most
distant relationship, with imaginary and uninterpreted ground, but for the most
coherently close; and in assigning what is never found, in violation of
systematic characteristics, to this or that, as an explanation, one merely
exhibits imagination in pique. This is far from hypothesis to the point.
Of this pique, one may advisedly say, There is
nothing to it, to justify it; just will, to insist on saying it.
The identification of the eternal intelligence is
dependent on evidence, a testable variety of attestation of that ENTITY, and as
shown in Ch. 11, this is superabundantly available in unique consistency,
meeting every test in its own right. See also Ch. 4,
and Ch. 2.
The greatest meaning
and the greatest information given to mankind, to this composite integrality of
mind, matter and spirit, is the reason for it (Genesis 1), for its fall (Genesis
3), for its dissavour (Ephesians 2, 4), and the ground for its recovery (Romans
5), in the Gospel of the goodwill of God (Galatians, Titus). The message and the
meaning and the purpose and purport of the same is the highest communication
available to man (John 3), as part of the word of God, conveyed in the Bible
(Isaiah 34, Matthew 5:17-20, 20:28, John 10, II Timothy 4, Luke 13, II Cor.
5:17ff.). That word is final, its gift activated, its grace unsurpassable, the
meaning not this time to the gene, but to the heart of man, the resultant
accomplishment of the grace of God.
