Re: [Mind's Eye] Re: The " I " factor

*snickers* Or vice versa. God sent us angels to show us how to act. In retrospect we must have looked like madmen to them.

As no ones will is truly visible, the lack of visibility to God's Will
is, generally, irrelevant.  But, looking around at 'All There Is', is
all that not a visible aspect to the Will of God?  We would not see
anything if it weren't for the Will of God for us to see and for there
to be things to see.

Also, good and evil are not akin to superego and id.  The id is not
evil, nor is the superego good nor vice versa.

For a madman to exist is evidence that it is the Will of God to
include madmen in God's universe.  Is that reasonable?  I, for one,
would have to admit that it must be on account of God's omniscience
and my profound lack of it; however, the necessity of whether or not a
madman or many madmen should exist is NOT obvious.  I draw the
conclusion that humans are incredibly forgetful and require
reminding.  And, so, God sends us madmen as proof of how NOT to act.
