This hypothesis is written to invite discussion and further elucidate the nature of the apperceptive (abstracting, re-abstracting, re-re-abstracting, etc.) human psyche.
I. TENTATIVE HYPOTHESIS
There awaits a great and excellent immortality for the human psyche redemption-dependent.
II. MATERIALS AND METHODS
'Great' will denote largeness in amount ... i.e., great time and great substance(s))
'Excellent' will denote a level harmony, symmetry, and proportion, and the possibility of having apperception(s) of beauty as well.
Having proven the profoundly abstracting apperceptive existence of the gross human psyche, some redemption observations therein will be studied and inferences drawn. By redemption observations is meant those observed phenomena and events that appear restorative, resurrecting, enlivening, etc., while existing explicitly in the apperceptive aspect of the human psyche.
It will be further supposed that 'redemption-dependent' will refer to observations that would not take place SANS a redemption or redemption-like mechanism. Survival of the (fittest?) psyche via redemption mechanisms may be tested and discussed as well. No attempt will be made to r/o redemption design (RD) in the creationist scheme.
III. OBSERVED DATA: Redemption Observations
--Forgiveness of vicarious sins (murder, fornication, pedophilia, rape, etc.)
--Love toward others of innumerable types and varying extents.
--Thankfulness, rejoicing, praising God to and varying extents.
--Conscious and/or unconscious adoration of a deity to varying extents.
--Virtues: joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, faith, meekness, temperance, etc.
--Healing/soothing of guilt and sin.
--Gestalt (creative idea) formation, revelation, etc.
--Awakening, re-awakening, enlivening, restoring ... affects and effects.
--Singing, playing, dancing
--Creating, programming, constructing, etc.
--Working, producing, edifying, etc.
--Writing and art (on all levels), poetic, surrealistic, inspirational, etc.
--Laughing, smiling, happiness, etc.
--Sacrificial love, dying love, heroism, etc.
--Valiance for truth(s) to various extent(s), i.e.: natural, scientific, spiritual, metaphysical, ethical, and/or moral truth.
--Conscientiousness for justice, law, order, precepts, wise way(s), statutes, etc.
--An elder's good report, wisdom, sagacity, etc.
--Fear, respect, and/or awe before the impression of a God ... to varying extents.
--Amazing quest(s) for salvation and eternal life and/or survival.
--Metaphysical re-birth(s), understandings, newness of life, refreshing(s) of sleep.
--An almost infinite capacity of pleasant memories (conscious and/or subconscious)
--An almost infinite capacity of pleasant affections (conscious and/or subconscious)
--An almost infinite capacity of understanding (conscious and/or subconscious)
--An almost infinite capacity of discernment (conscious and/or subconscious)
--An almost infinite capacity of apperception (conscious and/or subconscious)
--An almost infinite capacity of thought (conscious and/or subconscious)
--An almost infinite capacity of language(s) (conscious and/or subconscious)
--An almost infinite capacity of love (conscious and/or subconscious)
--An almost infinite capacity of forgiveness (conscious and/or subconscious)
--An almost infinite capacity of song and praise (conscious and/or subconscious)
--considerable parallel universes of space-time, intuition, dreams, imaginations, aspirations, love, and hosts of other apperceptive phenomena, redemptive in that they suggest a supernatural greatness of beneficence.
--Faith biases in the theory of a Christ crucified for sin and restoring/raising from the dead, to varying extents.
IV. TESTING AND RESULTS
These all appear be redemption-observations, on various actuation levels of the human apperceptive psyche. They look innumerable, great, and restorative, and glorious, especially in their overall comparative magnitudes. Many appear as gross excellencies (a.k.a., harmonies, symmetries, and proportions) that undergo redemptive design (RD) presently and continuously.
V. CONCLUSION/DISCUSSION
The data suggests a 'redemption plan' mechanism is (currently) acting upon the apperceptive human psyche(s) of such extreme magnitude(s) and excellence, that the tentative hypothesis appears highly likely: Namely, there awaits a glorious immortality for the human psyche that is redemption-dependent, i.e., and unattainable (a.k.a., damned) SANS this mechanism of redemption.
Yet, the BIG question remains. Since a glorious immortality for the human psyche exists, but is redemption-dependent, WHO GETS TO BE ETERNALLY REDEEMED (VS. DAMNED) AND WHY?
--1) Is it the apperceptive psyche that professes or worships a REDEMPTION DESIGNER (RD'er) who has lived like a hypocrite? (a.k.a., a grace-fundy-YEC like myself)?
--2) Is it the naturalist (a.k.a., atheistic) psyche that denies the existence of an RD'er while living like a saint? (I.e., peradventure, Huxley and Darwin?)
--3) Is it the Calvinist who apperceives 'fruitful redemptive' events repeatedly acting upon his psyche?
--4) Is it the Wesleyan who sees redemption conditional upon continuous (SANS RETE) 'redemptive' works of his psyche (A.K.A. holiness by a Holy Spirit)?
--5) What about the impenitent Boston Stranglers, Hitlers, Bin Ladins, etc., whose redemptive apperceptions seem to be eternal self-gratification with 72 virgins, etc.?
Knowing that most adult psyches apperceive themselves as 'sin-cursed' (i.e., damnable sin-infested wretches) under the RD model (to varying extents), it would appear that sin-cursed-redemptive apperceptions must become at least acknowledged in one's psyche before such a psyche would ever seem to have an eternal RD linked to him/her. The actual tolerance-limits of RD correlating to a psyche's eternal RD (vs. damnation) is perhaps speculative in many instances, and therefore beyond the scope of this study.
