BEING AND THE ABSOLUTE…AND DEVELOPMENT OF THE IDEA OF BEING
A Circle of Relationship and Understanding Centered in Being - The Third Circle

1. The Idea of Being…what is most fundamental?
In contrast to the usual monism or dualism the idea of being starts with the question of the nature of being. Criteria - including directness and common observation - and candidates are considered and the form of being in which human being participates is chosen.

2. Levels of Being The nature of the levels - they show increasing vitality, awareness reflexivity in awareness, and completeness. The levels are matter, life, being as aware, self-aware, self-transparent, complete within itself, and that knows and is all. Modes of being were considered in the second circle, Consciousness, Mind and the World.

5. This Absolute Must Be The One Consciousness …of Consciousness, Mind and The World. Indeterministic-deterministic dynamics imply that "no-thing" is always in "virtual" or potential change that becomes actual by selection. In the limit No-thing is identical to the Absolute; and to the intermediate phases of the world.

3. What are the Transformations and Dynamics of Being? The elements of the dynamics are being, meaning and action. Meaning is placement in the real; it is a condition of being…though not always recognized. Action includes choice. The dynamic is that through meaning, being is in relationship; relationship generates action; and action is or equates to change in being.

4. Being Through Time…and Absolute Being - Beyond Time Significant durations of time for a being are the instant…and the life span. In the Absolute, eternity is an instant.
