Gospel Koan 20.3

Belief in Motility

Koan 20.3

The Godspell casts all being as problematic: 'able to cast forward' and thus believes: 'grants leave' in motility: 'that which is continuously moving'.

Summary exposition

The central mechanism is the framing of all existence as 'problematic—a condition defined by a beings capacity to project itself forward—which thereby grants ontological permission for perpetual motility. A potent example is a river, whose very being is a continuous casting forward of its waters; the Godspell grants leave for this ceaseless movement as its fundamental mode of existence, not a deviation from it. The implication is that reality is not a collection of static objects but a field of dynamic vectors, where to be is to be in a condition of inherent, sanctioned flux.
