Index - Process Teleology
Whether Whitehead's Process Philosophy and Theology of Becoming, or Christian Theology's studied assertion that a God-designed world will always have a God-infused direction, the idea of teleology has always insisted on meaning and purpose - especially as these activities relate to an ethic of love. Below then are a variety of articles speaking to purpose and meaning for God, world, and mankind under the general rubric, "What Then Teleology?"


*Part 3 - AI Consciousness in an Evolving Entropic Cosmology














...The universe of creation must have a fundamentally processual teleology within its evolutionary character that is decidedly unlike most evolutionary theories state in their "naturalized" evolutionary philosophies.
...That in Whiteheadian process thought, evolution's processual theology is purposeful, meaningful, and continually, processually, forming as a complexly evolving and involving living ecocosmic-organism.
... And for the Christian traditionalist, we may equate Whitehead's processually evolving teleology of the cosmos to the God of Love whose Sentient Self-Expression is fundamentally embedded within the very fabric of all pluri-verses forming God's creation.

What Gives Life Meaning, Part 2 <--- unpublished draft






Observed "spiritual" symbols or "felt" iconographs grounded in the earth and stars above are not isolated metaphysic events in themselves, but symbolize affecting events in a living pancessual universe striving against death to re-birth life everlastingly until it can no longer achieve it's purpose in an entropic universe.

Though we seemingly exist in a chaotic entropic universe of death (re the Second Law of Thermodynamics) there also inhabits a life-giving force here described as "pancessual (everywhere present) negentropy (non-entropic)" which necessarily reverses death's chaos towards processually valuative birthing events. As example, Christ's atoning resurrection from death aptly illustrates the ying-and-yang between the cycle of life and death.

This quality of "life from within death" is found pervasively throughout the cosmos having been birthed in the halls of Divine Love which also birthed a freewill universe irresistibly driven towards imagination, novelty, and generative wellbeing. A universe of loving freewill tilted to become more than it is. This then captures Whitehead's idea of something that is which is alway becoming more than it is (being and becoming) as opposed to death's isolating quality of incompleteness and never-becomingness.
