a novel realisation that has come to me recently is that the biblical concept of "God the Father" is quite important

so, people who know philosophy and mythological systems, may know of the concept of Chaos as the Prima Materia of the universe, and that it contains all potentials.

the Father is like a "seed" that specifies a limited subset of that totality of everything

so, where it says in the Lord's Prayer and all of what Jesus is reported to say in the Father is the "seed" that specifies the specific subset of Chaos

this relates to entropy also, because what it means is that Chaos is primary, in the sense of that all possible universes are contained within this name and concept

the Father means the code that unlocks the parts of Chaos that are valuable, the negentropy, all of what comes from the Father is specifically, the things that continue to open potential for further, and increasing order and structure (sometimes you might call that 'elegant' or 'novel')

this understanding makes a quite different understanding of the relevance of the New Testament in terms of what it says Father

like, i'm familiar with the Yaqui model of the Great Eagle which i think is their name for Chaos, and there is a dark and light side to this, and one is destruction, one is creation

the Father is creation, the dark side is Satan

it is very important to understand that God is not omnipotent

what He is, is omniscient, he knows all

what He isn't, is everything that degrades and destroys structure and order
