Journey in Being

Journey In Being

Prologue to the Journey

New Ideas contains ideas for improvement of and corrections to Journey in Being including fundamental enhancements and elaborations to the main paradigms

Design for a Journey in Being is the blue print for the future

Commentary on the documents

Journey In Being is the main document. It is an account of the Journey - of my explorations in knowledge and being and is currently the most up-to-date and comprehensive expression of my thought. Journey in Being was intended to be an overview with the Metaphysics, the Experiments, studies in the Variety of Being, and Action being detailed accounts of the phases of the Journey. Currently, however, Journey in Being includes the entire text of the overview - the prologue and the introduction - and the four phases. I may change this structure in the future. The documents for four phases are also useful because their arrangement is different from that in Journey in Being

The other essays linked from the site-map are not as current as Journey in Being which often supersedes or vastly improves the ideas from earlier essays. However, the older documents are of interest for some of their ideas and elaborations and may be useful if I later edit or revise Journey in Being

Other documents include designs and related concerns

Metaphysics

The aims of the metaphysics are:

Develop a theory of being that includes actual being and its possibilities and potentials;
the theory develops the principle of being that all being is accessible to every being

Show what is accessible to individual [human] being and to show what is ethical and the means of access;
an approach, the dynamics of being, that underlies the tradition of transformations in being
and the Experiments in Transformation, below

Develop an understanding and lines of solution, in light of the theory, of problems in metaphysics;
the topics include some significant issues in the classical and modern traditions of metaphysics
and for application in the Journey in Being

The Variety of Being

The purposes to the study of the variety of being include:

To develop an understanding of the variety – actual and possible being including hypothetical being;
I use
hypothetical to include reference to beings or modes of being from the tradition of thought, especially God

To develop a perspective on and further human attempts in the construction of being – especially machine intelligence and being

To use the results in understanding being
