Ludwig Andreas von Feuerbach was a German Philosopher (1804 -1872) who was influenced, among others by Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels. In a very small nut shell he proposed that God did not create humans according to his image, but that humans created God according to their image of for example benevolence.
To extimate in psychology and philosophy means to not introject without reflection what belongs outside, but to push it back to where it belongs as not to be governed too much by outside influence.
A panjandrum is a person who has or claims to have a great deal of authority.
Ludwig Andreas von Feuerbach Or What Is in A Name
When building Babylonian Towers with the Lego of our minds we construct
our world and worlds our truths and meanings our dreams and projections of
what there should be ingenious forsaken in our journey towards scraping our sky
A fortress stands tall towers lo and below the identity kit with customs and
instructions culture roles norms and rules as prison or shelter guidance or plight
~ Hlud ~ is the famous and ~ Wig ~ is the War in so such less known meaning in the
name of mortals the name of The Lord living on forever and a day or never unbound
~ Andreas ~ the manly and brave one who rejects the paradigm’s dogma he who takes
on the Kingdom of Heaven as it governs us earthlings as offsprings of power
Of aristocratic privilege ~ von ~ bestowed by the secular sovereign working
hand in hand sort of power sharing accommodating the cross and the sword
~ Feuer ~ the fire and ~ Bach ~ the small stream of the water maybe the flow of
subconscious realm of living upriver the swirl of the name both hot and dry like
blazing convection conviction melting existing beliefs of the times and yet cold
and wet like the showering rainstorms with thunder and lightening flooding
locks weirs barrages and dams of damnation of Church religion in incipient torrent
~ God ~ Ludwig posits is the outward projection of human’s benevolent wishes and
there fore them building the castle and not the fortified palace creating the living
A panjandrum exposed reconfigured as the Saviour corresponds in every aspect to
some feature in human nature and is created in our image not some other way
round and yes we strive for benevolence without which there there can not be a God
So what castles then do we want to build in the topmost realms in the sky beyond all
those cumulus clouds the ramifications of faith obfuscations of dominant guidance
good ethics and virtues the ether of essence dialectics of wheeling and dealing with life
God has no separate existence from humans and the creator remains part of creation
and creation remains part of the creator but who plays with the Lego and who are the
bricks to be shuffled and stacked along with whose wishes and walled
trenches who guards which trapdoors and pitfalls false bottoms in whatever minds
Its all in a name and my personal castles are intimate and faithful and I prefer
to ‘extimate’ what belongs outside do not wish to be told what I’m longing for
for my home is my castle and the sky is the limit
