The Multi Verse In the Christian Social Imagination

Psalm 90
"...before the mountains were born or you brought forth the earth and the world, from beginning to end, you are God. You turn people back to dust, saying, "Return to dust, you mortals." For you, a thousand years are as a passing day, as brief as a few night hours. You sweep people away like dreams that disappear. They are like grass that springs up in the morning. In the morning it blooms and flourishes, but by evening it is dry and withered."

In the imagination of any creator, many things can happen and they happen this one way and in another way. Imaginations of things come and go in an eternal loop, they are both singular and many; they multiply and diminish.



The order of those imaginations do not know time, they are and yet are not. They are a verse in the mind of the creator- a multi verse of imaginations where only one thing is a constant - where there is only one given absolute - pure actuality.

In social quantum analysis, we ask - why do we seek the absolute? Is it important to know it or enough just to ask about it? It is interesting that out of analytical necessity that we must ask about it.

Aristotle accepted a prime mover. Aristotle argued that the Prime Mover is more important as a leader, as the universe depends for its existence on the Prime Mover, and he also pointed out that all things in the universe are ordered to some ‘final cause’ and ultimately to the Prime Mover

Characteristics of the Prime Mover 

The prime mover exists by necessity – so the Prime Mover could not fail to exist. The Prime mover is not capable of change, and thus is pure actuality.  The Prime Mover has a nature which is good as a lack of goodness would mean that one can do better; meaning one can change.  The Prime Mover is the Final Cause i.e. the ultimate explanation of why things exist and it is without parts and indivisible without extension; divine simplicity. ‘The final cause then, produces motion as being loved ‘is the goal of all action: this is like attraction because the prime mover is the cause of all motion. 

Is the Prime Mover the writer of multi verse?  Can we ever know the Prime Mover? Yes, and No. Yes, simply because we imagine there is one necessarily and no because though we can imagine, we cannot know who/what that is in this dimension of the multi verse.
