Including and included

Unless being only a house of deaths, a tomb or a prison, a house of living can only be open. With entries and exits. A house open to the breath of the Spirit. Beyond what we take too quickly for our 'impassable horizon'.

Tell me your including. I mean your ultimate space out of which there is nothing any more but emptiness and indifference. Thus the total space of the 'house' you live in and which provides you with all you need (materially, socially, psychologically, intellectually, spiritually) to live and survive. Your absolute 'oïkos'.

Behind the multiple included spaces, which is your ultimate including space? Which is finally the space of the Sense giving sense to all your senses?

You can feel something like an anthropocentric rupture in our Occident starting from around the year 1100. When the ultimate 'including' space is not any more God but the human reality itself.

You cannot find the key of intelligibility of the human realm in the included contents. You find it in the including whole. The interior becomes fully understandable only starting from outside. It is from 'outside' and from outside only that the 'whole' appears in truth. The forest explains the trees and not the reverse. The whole is more essential than the parts.

But how can you measure a space inside this space itself? Aren't we embarked? The Einsteinian theory of relativity can be used as paradigm. The 'length' of our meters and the 'duration' of our terrestrial clocks are necessarily 'deformed' by their space-time localization. We never measure but with the measurement of our deformations. That requires a mental 'exit'. You must leave the cave. Light comes from 'outside'. 

The extreme including of the sense can ultimately only merge with God. If God were a 'what' that one can define and understand, it would be of the same order as any 'object' of knowledge or action. As an object of 'science', you could find him along or at the end of a 'long chain of reasons'. Such a comprehension would be under the sign of the logical necessity. It would be unavoidable for any spirit using the good method. But God is not a 'that' you could objectivize. Unless denying him as God, he can be only absolute not-object. Pure 'That' without emphasizing his 'what'. Thus imperceptible, incomprehensible, properly unthinkable. The ultimate including Sense, the Sense of all senses, remains extreme gaping. Simply THAT. That there is sense, that there is not absolute nonsense, the simple act of the being of sense, without contents, just the absolute possibility of all 'what'.
