Deus ex machina

If you were driving along and saw a billboard that contained only the words, “I am God”, what would your reaction be? The positive recognition from within, The Place Materialists Deny (TPMD), is predictable because god, in the sense of ultimate authority, does truly exist in every human breast. More curious and revealing is the direction the finger of recognition points. For most that recognition would center on the personal ego. Though sub-conscious, the knowledge that externals are infinitely illusory compared to, “cogito ergo sum” suffices as Α and Ω on the wide road. For a few, internal recognition is caused by the presence of The Infinity Himself (TIH) in TPMD. The finger of recognition points to the cross. The cross first because TIH does not inhabit human hearts without it, and second because the personal ego needs a place to die. Two ultimate authorities would be an irrational paradox.
