We live in times of renewal, reflection and recycling. There are energies and forces directing people in numerous ways. What is the driving force behind our world''s projects and systems of development? It is the hidden Sacred Mind of God present in creation. It is the mediating voice and the micro communication device in people''s minds around the globe and universe. It is the mind of God in Nature. It is God''s innovative and omnipotent mind, protecting and balancing our world for continuity and sustainability. In this book, I am delving a little into the thoughts'' assortment of God''s intellectual sanctuary, which intrigues us all contemporarily. This is partly experiencing, viewing, seeking and imagining God through watching TV, movies, listening to radio broadcasts, and reading newspapers, e.g. on tsunamis and climate change conferences, the debates on God by some ecumenical preachers, etc etc, informing us all about the awe that is permeating the atmosphere and the environment, not just adversely, but bringing hope and attention to the state of our world. The main inspiration in this work, is how does God think ? Is the pool of our mindsets, a reflection of God''s intellectual sanctuary? Does God reply to our prayers in a similar way to our way of responding to our children''s cries and wants? In Part 1, a discussion is attempted about the different connections and wealth of existing legal derivations about God''s Mind, since the beginning of time.(viz, RSV Bible). This affirms the common view that a super pluralistic mind exists, belonging to God, beyond the collective of Nature and humankind. As well, I am sharing my hypothesis on a possible composition of YHWH''s mind using the outcomes gathered from around, and evidence experienced daily. e.g. climate change, IT interference, spyware and viruses, literature and media. My hypothesis is simply a great pool of imagination tested daily, emerging to provide a theoretical basis for research. I feel that anyone''s perception of our universe is a legitimate entry to further discovery and research. Part 2 exposes some innovation on how the Sacred Mind of God manifests itself in the multi-religious isms of today. Religion indeed is only a part of God''s wisdom and mind which we use intensively daily, to explain our experiences of the Sacred and the Profane. What is paramount in modern times is the love of God for all creation, especially human beings. Why does God''s love and Mind operate so differently from human experiences? Part 3 looks at the future, with respect to secular philosophy and human piety, critical thinking, new discoveries, and prophecies currently affecting us all. For example, Heaven is here with us on earth, just as much as the Spirit God abides in humans on earth. The final opinion at the rear of the book is about the word "mind " as a simple construction currently used to describe the awesome intellectual sanctuary of God. On its own, the word seems not pious enough to describe the power and divinity of God''s super-brain-network. Am I trying to equate God''s Intellectual Sanctuary with our simple human minds'. No, just using our minds as the best resource to understand God and its Mind. We need a better word(s), to describe the plurality but solitude of God''s thinking realm. I have given it the phrases, the "Sacred Mind of God," or the Intellectual Sanctuary of God. The phrases imply definitive tapu boundaries which are self-explanatory. God did put a "mind" into every form of creation, humans as well as other forms of animals, fishes, and vegetation. Creation includes the mountains, the oceans, the seas, winds, rivers and all that we can see and perceive, even the minutest creations like the ants, pests, germs and viruses. The Intellectual Sanctuary of God is not the same as the human mind, and it affirms the notion that God exists, with a mind beyond our understanding. It is not a singular entity like our minds, but a pluralistic network of different faculties and sub- minds, and more sub- sub-minds, etc, which can be visualized like I have described in Part 1.8 It is assumed that readers are at some tertiary level of Biblical Knowledge, World religions, and the basics of the Christian faith well understood. Some books share similar ideas as well as the Christian Bible, which I have accustomed to for 65 years. But most of what is written, comes from this thinking bank. There is a bibliography at the back for a few consultations. Any unknown coincidences with other writers are pure like-minded collisions, and should not matter, for God''s Intellectual Sanctuary incorporates all that we already know, plus more. Nothing is new under the sun. Just plenty of knowledge to be discovered for human use. May God''s Blessings Be With You All
