Singularity in Purpose

Uniformity of Purpose.

If you understand that purpose is formed as merely the direction of effort, then it can validly be said that truly all things exist only by the uniformity of their effort and thus their purpose. When the effort or purpose is divided or dispersed, the entity falls apart, creating new individual efforts. The very word "individual" means "in-divide" - being without division.

A thing becomes a "thing" when all of its components harmonize into an identifiable uniformity in efforts.

To destroy anything, merely cause the division of its components. Thus, in conflict, the effort is to maintain your own uniformity while dividing (corrupting) the harmonious efforts of your foe. This one statement describes all the universe has ever been or done - creating and destroying.

The recent effort in America has come from the idea that by dispersing purpose (diversity), much greater wealth can be obtained as the energy of conflict and chaos emerge. Energy leads to wealth and wealth leads to power - the power to create and destroy.

Without unity of purpose influence cannot be managed. No nation can rise, no gathering can be formed or maintained.

The concepts of Chi and of Will-power are merely the result of uniformly applied effort. The primary weapons being used to cause dispersed effort and thus purpose is fear and confusion.

Singularity of Purpose yields clear decisions and the lack of conflict, comfort - Thus INFLUENCE.

Removing that unity yields indecision and discomfort - Thus DESTRUCTION

Jewish: YHWH - Harmony of Body (Y) and Harmony of Spirit (effort - W).

Christian: Love - Devoted (unconditional thus uniform in purpose) Support.

The Jewish YHWH is thus, in a manner of thinking, THE Father Creator.

The Christian Love is thus, in a manner of thinking, the Son of the Creator - the effort to support into harmony.

But don't expect the typical Jew nor Christian to know this.

Without Singularity of Purpose, you have nothing and lose more each day.

"The man who stands for nothing, falls for anything."
"The man who stands alone, dies alone."

I'm not really sure what you're talking about. Lots of the language is metaphorical and abstract. The meaning of the statements is vague, and even when it is less vague, it is imprecise. The literal meanings of many of the statements are simply wrong. I have a couch. Whether or not I have singularity of purpose, I'm going to have this couch. Also, you've forgotten at least one activity of the universe, and that is persisting.

Speaking of being vague and imprecise, do you mind pointing out exactly what you see as "wrong" and vague?

Is it that only in unity of action can we persist?

Purpose is Goal. Unity of goal is not the same as unity of action.

If everyone turns left at the same time, they have unity in action, but to what purpose?

America was formed from the unity in effort to be free from British governmental oppression (specifically forcing them to belong to the church of England). By joining for that purpose, the colonies formed a much greater defense and a nation.

The point was merely that all religions, organizations, families, nations, and so on are formed and only stand as long as they maintain unity in final purpose or goal. That means that their other concerns must yield to whatever higher purpose for which the union was formed. When they no longer do that, the union fails.

The entire middle eastern mindset and religions are based on that highest concern of having a single highest purpose.

The word "infidel" means "not being in fidelity or harmony".

Moses said to never consume the animal of a split hoof, meaning to never accept as a part of yourself anything (or anyone) that serves "two masters", has a divided goal or purpose, or is founded by inconsistent reasoning.

The Love in Christianity is required to be "unconditional" so as to prevent any chance of division by other concerns.

The message of ALL religions is "Maintain harmonious purpose or face eternal frustration and struggle."

Their foundation is based in logic, not superstition.

Let me try and rephrase. "If members of an organization don't work together to meet their goal, the organization will fall apart." Is this what you mean? Because I think this is probably self-evident.

Of course the key word here is, "If." I, for one, don't "understand" that purpose "is formed as merely the direction of effort." "Purpose" implies conscious intent, whether active or assigned.

What is a " uniformity in efforts"? And why must it be identifiable?

So you already knew that the "self-evident" God of Israel is that same "self-evident" need for uniformity in purpose? - Identically the same thing.

Understanding those things is a matter of fundamental construct of thought.

You use the word "purpose" to imply conscience intent. But everyone else doesn't.

What purpose does the rain serve? - What? the rain has a conscious mind???

If no one knew that rain helped life grow, would it not serve the same purpose anyway?

Purpose does not require conscious intent, merely subsequent effect.

What is a " uniformity in efforts"? And why must it be identifiable?
Well, I'll concede that "uniformity wasn't the best choice in my wording there. Harmony in efforts was the intended meaning.

It must be identifiable because the mind cannot group the harmony as a "thing" unless it can identify what is harmonious about it.

"A Fire" is identified as a single thing because of the similarities within it. If parts of it are burning and other parts are freezing, then you don't call it a fire, but something else or 2 separate things mixed.

It is just an issue of identifying properties that seem relevent to you and grouping them in space or time such as to label them a an occurrence or an object.

I have no idea what this means. That last sentence is literally meaningless. Are you not a native speaker of English?
