Working List of Commonplaces.

God and Man

  • Life and death means nothing without these two things which come first. God and man intersect at religion.

Life and Death

  • These are the two great events. Everything else is about how to fill the gap. And in some ways a preparation for what comes next, but you don’t even have to accept that. Life and death are fully in the realm of man.

Chaos and Order

  • These things are primordial too. Through Order we can even get to politics which encompasses a lot of the words in that list. Chaos and order on one hand is only relevant to man’s perception of things. Do Chaos and order exist without an observer? It seems to me they do in the sense tat The spirtual realm also has these things.
