Kierkegaard's Alternate Reality

     I like Kierkegaard. His "trapped in the infinite/finite" is a life-coach "top shelf" along with the other K's (Krishnamurti) clarifications regarding "expectation/fear loop".  Recently, I read a modern essay by a British aethiest philosopher who, surprisingly is a Kierkegaard scholar.  His Kierkegaard insight was that:

     K suggests a spectrum of evolving consciousness moving from animal self-centeredness to what he described as the Jewish "like for like", as in "an eye for an eye"; evolving further to what K called the "external Christian like for like", as in "do unto others as you would have them do unto you".  According to Critchley, the essayist, K didn't find enough meaning in the Christian "like for like", and wanted to push for a further evolved consciousness. 

    My takeaway was that K was shooting for an ego constrained state of mind.  He offered up "moment to moment faith" to escape the external world in favor of a believer permanently internalizing his/her awareness seeking to apprehend a real time revelation from God setting out the optimal engagement in the phenomenal world.  God in the Middle"...."Be it done for you as you believed"..Mathew 8.

     No doubt we all would showcase a better lifescape with OMG (Oh, My God****Optimal Meaning Generator) being hard wired in our brain.  Here's hoping the downloads would be Siri swift, but not Google embellished.
