The Way of Being Anil Mitra © February 11, 2020—March 27, 2020 Outline The Way of Being A question
asked by many persons for themselves and for civilization is of what is
possible, what is of value, and how to achieve it. This
leads to the question of how to know and achieve what is of the highest
value. What
can we know? This is
the greatest of all possible universes. This is
the key to a ‘real metaphysics’, developed below, as proven knowledge of the
universe as ultimate. There
is and must be exactly one universe. This is
a resolution of the problem of why there is Being at all. The ‘cause’ of the existence of the universe is necessity. The
universe has no creator. The
universe has identity. The universe and its identity are limitless in
extension, duration, variety, peak, and dissolution of Being. For example
there are cosmoses and physical laws without limit—all in transaction with
one another and the void. The individual and civilization inherit this power. The
universe is spiritual in that there are higher phases that are not yet
known to some beings and civilizations. It is not spiritual in the sense of a
non material realm. From the real metaphysics there
are no fundamentally distinct modes such as matter and mind. There
is a path—are paths—from our world to the ultimate. Living well
in our world includes being on a path to the ultimate; but living well does
not imply denial of our world. It means just living well in the universe as
whole. There
are and will be ennui and pain; they are unavoidable. But the
limitlessness of variety and peak and dissolution is also ever fresh. All
Being is ever phasing between peak and dissolution, experiencing both
repetition and ever freshness.
