It is impossible to discuss and analyze what an object of study is without the knowledge of where it came from. Alfred Whitehead spent a great deal of time introspecting on this matter. “Why would God place us down here?”
Well the answer becomes quite simple, because God must need us for something.
Like with any human, we do not create something without purpose, even in the event of art, the meaning becomes the reason for creation. Possibly God is stuck in a similar type of karma cycle in another universe. In other words, God is trapped in an innately alien universe similar to the human soul, leading to the assumption that God created us to help him break out of his own entombing universe. So while humans strive for nirvana to be free of this reality of time, God is seeking the same form of enlightenment to get out of his prison.
Whitehead’s theory merges remarkably flush with the definition of the human being introduced in this paper. Thus, having knowledge of the human creator helps to understand the human itself.
The human being is composed of three unique identities in the war zone of this universe. Through the interaction of these organs, one can be defined as human.
The soul is the eternal part. Created out of time and entrapped in a foreign place. In the soul, one has the gift of eternity but fettered to this reality, eternity is enchained to merely watch television in the broken living room of the physical.In unison is the terrestrial, ephemeral body, which allows interaction with the present reality; a field reporter traveling amongst the chaotic abyss of the visceral, in constant transmission and journalism.
The third, the deity of consciousness, the television set which mediates and converts the alien gravity of time into subtitles for the restless soul. Consciousness as the television set, broadcasting the celestial to the earthly. The human being a combination of the actions of the body, the awareness of consciousness and the eternity of the soul.
