sdi: Oil painting of the Heliconian Muse whispering inspiration to Hesiod. (Default)

I woke up with the following dialogue still ringing in my ears:

A. Is there a God?

B. Yes.

A. Are there gods and goddesses?

B. Yes.

A. But the monotheists and polytheists can't both be right: that would be a paradox.

B. Yes, but divinity laughs at our categories and models. It invites us to participate.

A. That doesn't make sense.

B. Divinity is characterized by unity, while matter is characterized by division. Categorization is inherently separatory, it divides in order to understand. It is a method well suited to understanding matter, because matter can be divided indefinitely; but it is an inappropriate method for understanding divinity, because divinity is indivisible. Therefore, set aside your categories, and play together.
