From the perceptible to the intelligible to God!
Man as means of mediating between the universe and God has his mind, his heart and his soul as tools of perception. From his physical existence to his mental one and then to his spiritual being he moves from the one to the other with a specific directionality.
We all wonder about ourselves, about our living universe and our death. Death as the final wall to our being, whether in one form or another, brings an accepted shock by most of us. No one can explain death, no one has been somewhere after death and returned to tell us what he saw.
We remain in absolute mystery about death and cannot thus traverse its limited wall. We conjecture about what's behind the wall but death remain immanent just as the smallest distance of matter representing the wall of Max Planck. Matter remains equally a mystery and poses an enigmatic problematic to all scientists without exceptions.
Science did not and cannot, so far, traverse the wall of matter to identify, whether empirically or otherwise, behind it. Although it is a legitimate question posed by science with regard to the origin of the universe and what was behind the big bang, nothing in science or in conjecture offers valid assumptions let alone solid arguments.
We are all waiting for such results but alas nothing is ever produced by the magician scientist.
Perhaps going behind the wall of the big bang, where all scientific knowledge collapses, including Einstein's relativity theory and quantum theory has not any better chance, an M theory remains sterile.
We, with our minds are left, therefore, with our own personal convictions about death, universe, ourselves and finalities remain the field of philosophers and spirituality. Scientists abstain totally to enter into the question of finalities, although it is the objective-target of all their knowledge. They fear of entering into conjecture and their empirical methods are not equipped for this type of deep diving.
But we do not have to be all Einsteins to realize for our simple intellects that what we see and identify as perceptible leads to what is known as the intelligible and then make our escapade to God, the All Mighty.
This does not need a PhD! The proof everyone does it, and successfully so!
The objective of the sensible is to indicate for our own souls the intelligible and the road then is straight to the spiritual namely, God.
