Hi Graham, thank you for the response.
This article is simply focused on our normal understanding of rest being the default state of everything, and thus the need for something to put them in motion. I actually wasn’t focused on God, I only mentioned that Aristotle found the need to rely on God, finally, to start everything up.
The group of articles on Time & Eternity that follow this one in Tranquillity’s Secret continues this discussion. There is a direct link to them (starting with “Mapping Concepts to Reality”) at the bottom of this article.
Thanks again for taking the time to respond.
