Ultimate Reality

Mind can have no infallible intuitions about ultimate reality. To an Eastern mind, the fundamental nature of things may be an impersonal Oneness. To a physicist, it may be a mathematical objectivity. To the horror writer—a Lovecraft, a Thomas Ligotti—it may be an ecstatic insanity producing mistake after horrible mistake. 

So it can't be absurd to imagine ultimate reality as a person. This conception is equal among the others, equal precisely because there is no rod to measure them against. What is more, fundamental being as person makes sense of persons—for in Godself there must be such a superabundance of personhood that it cannot help bursting forth like solar flares – as angels, as animals, as each of us. 

Christians can go no deeper in thinking about the nature of reality. Philosophers talk about an ultimate cause – Christians must talk about an ultimate concern. Scientists muse over some Ultimate Origin – why not muse over an Ultimate Intention?
