Recently I was thinking about why God, whoever He is, would want us to feel love. This seems to be an overarching theme that humanity looks for in a divine creator (with numerous exceptions). Why would He want us to have love for Him, for others, and for ourselves? It hit me that a god needs to be selfless, that they need to be loving for everything to work. If a god is such an advanced entity with superior: Math, science, technology and everything else, they would have reached a point in economics that would operate at maximum output.
I struck up this analogy. Imagine God is a businessman (with the business of running the universe).
Now, if God is selfless the opposite is selfishness, right? So, what does a selfish businessman look like?
Lets look at Enron. There are high level officials who are so focused on monetary gain that the whole world could burn down around them and they will continue to act. In the case of Enron prison sentences were also brought in to penalize those who made massive gains at the expense of others. Such economy is inefficient.
What does a selfless CEO look like?
For starters, it is not so much self-interested prosperity that is the paramount concern. The desire of such a CEO is that his entire company should prosper. This extends to the lowliest mail-clerk. This CEO also desires that his business partners and those with whom he serves with his services and/or goods will also prosper. This is because the more they prosper, the more his company prospers, down to the lowliest mail-clerk. Further, this CEO desires that the whole world around him prospers, even his competitors because if everyone is prosperous than it can only make his company, down to the lowliest mail-clerk, more prosperous. The selfless CEO undoubtedly prospers, but his measurement is not monetary. A self-interested CEO could have more monetary value, but in a world that is collapsed and burning his relative worth is pennies because the economy of his world can only give the products of stunted growth as tribute. He may have way more than others, but qualitatively he has less than the mail-clerk because all are suffering from lack of prosperity equally.
The selfless CEO also desires the prosperity of his company so much that he has regard for the mail-clerk. He desires that the clerk be given every chance and opportunity to rise up and become more. His aspirations for the mail-clerk are even that he too might one day become a prosperous CEO. Every opportunity for growth, every promotion, everything the selfless CEO can extend to prosper this mail-clerk is offered.
This is similar to Japanese business practices where everyone starts at the bottom and has performed each job within the company. They become more yet they appreciate where they have been and where they are.
This is the economy of the Heavens. It is conducted on selflessness.
It is about reciprocation. Where all things give as much as they can that all may perpetuate and prosper.
It is also about resonance. Resonance is the principle where waves, such as sound, share the same energy properties and qualities. This makes the energy waves stronger, and they last longer. This is in opposition to dissonance where the waves crash against each other.
A universe conducted by a selfish, or dissonant master would appear as a black hole. The converse is the shining of a sun, the energy is expelled for all to reap benefit.
Just as a star without any planets to reflect its glory would be pointless and alone; so too a god, without man to reflect their glory, would be.
God is love, but love is not anarchy. There is justice as well as mercy.
(this summarizes an idea I'd like to explore in another post)
