Seriously, I've determined that the entire universe is not only in perfect order, but the perfect control of the perfect will of God who lives outside of time (in the abode of light), and therefore knows absolutely everything that has ever happened, and will happen, to a degree, perhaps leaving open the mere possibility of a pleasant surprise at each moment, which would come from us, his children, if we had but the courage to turn, and awaken.
In order words, that it was pre-ordained, from the beginning of time, by God as the first/last cause, that a meteor would fly in from the Oort Cloud, wiping out the dynosaurs, so that we could sit here now having this very conversation. Nothing is random in other words. Perfect order as you say, which means that everything is both "up in the air" and out of control on the one hand, without any part missing, yet with each playing its role, to a t, and to the nth degree, on the other hand.
This view of course defies both reason, and the imagination, but those of us who've experienced strong synchronicity, we know better..
If we're interested in the immateriality or materiality of the Absolute, we need only consider the POV of a single photon of light, which plays a role in every chemical reaction and if there's such a thing as quantum gravity, every physical process in the universe. Because you see, to a photon of light, a single, non-localized photon, the whole universe is touching, and there is no time or causation. Thus, in theory, the whole universe could be both controlled and observed through a single photon. Stick that in your metaphysical pipe and smoke it!

Slightly off-topic, but Butt, why do you always spell not, knot, and do, dew? just out of interest.
