Indeed. A god that has to sacrifice generations endlessly to keep the flame of my glory burning. Notice that the statue figure is balanced on a child.

I mean yea though. What's the big deal?

Return to me my sweet divine emanations.

Decent question.

I'd say monist, eternalist. Everything is as it is and will always be that way. The moment (time) is justwhere the monad (the totality of possibilities) actualizes itself for consciousness. The monad is being, the appearance of change is becoming, which is just a function of how the monad is revealed for human consciousness. Influenced largely by buddha, everything though. Science is the expression of the laws of one possibilities realisation, ours. "Harmonizing with the Tao", "walking with god", "entering the tathagata realm" and so on are just various ways of describing being in tune with the possibility this realisation of the monad consists of. Strife is caused by the discord within the monad that arises from human imagination which has the ability to conceive other possibilities. Strife is caused by the conflict between the imagination of one possibility desiring something else. The buddhists and stoics (cynics are more based though) are the probably the closest to directly articulating this.

Why? Just seems to make sense.

Based haven't read Plotinus but seems good.
>"Once you have uttered 'The Good,' add no further thought: by any addition, and in proportion to that addition, you introduce a deficiency." (III.8.11)

Reminds me of old Sid.
