IN BEING Being is that which exists. Experience—awareness—is core, Knowledge of, and theatre of our Being. The Universe is All Being. Whatever has Being is in the Universe. The Universe contains all creation But is not created. It has neither beginning nor end. The Universe is. A law is a reading of a pattern; The Law is the pattern. Laws have Being. The Universe contains all Laws. The Void is the absence of Being. As complement to the Universe, The Void exists and contains no Law. All states emerge from the Void For the contrary would be a Law of the Void. It is thus shown that the Void—and so Being and the Universe—have no limits. Therefore Realism (Logic) is the only constraint for concepts To have objects in the Universe. (Agreement with fact is part of this concept of Logic.) Our science and experience have domains of validity But the Universe is greater without limit Than those domains and our cosmos. The Universe has (must have) manifestation and Identity In acute, diffuse and absent (non-manifest) phases. That something must come from nothing is a trivial corollary. The extension, duration, variety, summits and their magnitudes, And dissolutions of manifest phases are without limit. The Universe confers these powers on individuals For the contrary would entail a limit on the Universe. The individual realizes the Universe. If power is degree of limitlessness The Universe is ultimate power And the individual realizes this power. (Our limits are temporary conditions Of our form of Being, Which are likely the result of origins.) While in limited form realization is endless process— A Journey in Being. In unlimited form realization is Aeternitas— Eternity in a moment. Endless process implies that our Empirical and symbolic sciences Must remain ever in process and Require immersion for completion. Our civilization is the collection of human cultures Across time and continents. Greater Civilization is the matrix of civilizations Across the Universe. Individuals foster Civilization; Civilization nurtures the individual. Civilization is the hearth of realization; The individual is the manifestation of realization. (While in limited form realization is endless process— A Journey in Being.) While individual and Civilization are vehicles Ideas and action are modes of transformation and realization. Civilization provides ways of ideation and action— Disciplines of thought and action. The standard forms of the disciplines— Secular and trans-secular— Are riddled with error and limitation But constitute a ground on which to build. The individual journey is given. However for efficiency and enjoyment Requires commitment. The way of realization is Analysis and synthesis of ideas and Being, Which includes thought, experiment, And correction. The places of realization are Nature and society. Realization derives inspiration from the disciplines And the powers of Being and thought Revealed above. |
