â€œMy Inventions: The Autobiography of Nikola Teslaâ€

* In my boyhood I suffered from a peculiar affliction due to the appearance of images, often accompanied by strong flashes of light, which marred the sight of real objects and interfered with my thought and action. They were pictures of things and scenes which I had really seen, never of those I imagined. When a word was spoken to me the image of the object it designated would present itself vividly to my vision and sometimes I was quite unable to distinguish whether what I saw was tangible or not. This caused me great discomfort and anxiety. None of the students of psychology or physiology whom I have consulted could ever explain satisfactorily these phenomena.

* If my explanation is correct, it should be able to project on a screen the image of any object one conceives and make it visible. Such an advance would revolutionize all human relations. I am convinced that this wonder can and will be accomplished in time to come; I may add that I have devoted much thought to the solution of the problem.

* I soon discovered that my best comfort was attained if I simply went on in my vision farther and farther, getting new impressions all the time, and so I began to travelâ€"of course, in my mind. Every night (and sometimes during the day), when alone, I would start on my journeysâ€"see new places, cities and countriesâ€"live there, meet people and make friendships and acquaintances and, however unbelievable, it is a fact that they were just as dear to me as those in actual life and not a bit less intense in their manifestations.

Quote from: Mortagon on Jan 09, 08:32 AM 2018
"The Universe is His being..."

The universe has a beginning and it will end. It's proven!

The universe can not be the being of God.
His quality of God distinguishes Him from our world / universe.

We can not say what God is and what is His being, because God can not be defined.
He is the Supreme Existence that has a way of being what does not fit within the limits of our world. He is unlimited and indefinable by excellence. God can not be explained by notions and definitions because it is Life, better said, the source of life.

To Moses' question about His name, God answers: "I AM THAT I AM" (Exodus 3:14). It is defined as eternally existing.
As the One who is truly existent, by being in Himself, or by the support of Self-existence, and as such, over-existence, God is the supreme personal reality.

Insufficiency of the arguments of God's existence is explained by the fundamental fact that God Himself is the criterion of His truth, God Himself is the argument of His existence ... God can never be subject to the logic of demonstrations and put into a causal chain ... We could just start from the premise that He is the First Cause.

Quote from: Christos Yannaras, Elements of Faith
We are unable to know what this First Cause or Principle of the world is. But we can derive with our reasoning a few conclusions about the properties (characteristics) which it must have: To be a First Cause means that it does not owe its own existence to something prior to itself and, consequently we must assume it to be its own cause, the cause both ofitself and of everything that exists.

Since, as Cause of itselfit does not depend on anything else, we must consider it to be absolute magnitude (absolute: released from, free from every limitation). As absolute magnitude, God should be independent oftime, all-powerful, infinite. He must himselfbe the principle of motion which constitutes the "becoming" of the world and is measured as time. Therefore as the principle of motion, he must himselfbe unmoved in any way, since nothing pre-exists God in order to put him in motion. And as unmoved he is also immutable and, consequently both impassible and perfectly blessed.

None of these conclusions (and many others) which we can derive by thought, make God known to us, they only convince our reason and force us to accept intellectually the assumption of his existence as a reality. It is as if we are walking in the desert and suddenly encounter in front of us a house; we are then obliged to accept the fact that someone has built it - houses do not grow, nor are they erected by themselves in the desert. But we do not know who the builder is. From the characteristics of the building we can assume a few properties or distinctive features of the builder, whether he has good taste, for instance,' or enough skill in the application of statistics, or even what needs he was serving with the rooms he built. But his face remains unknown to us; we have never met him, we do not know him. Surely he exists but he is inaccessible to our immediate knowledge.

I recommend this philosopher. He has good books.
