I have not experienced revelation as instruction or word from an external divine being and have no intent here to consider or argue—pro or con—this conception of revelation. However, I have sometimes experienced ideas as if possessing their own flow, force, and reality. In as much as this experience is truly the result of influence from some greater being I think it must be that we are part of the greater being of the Universe. The following brief outline of Journey in Being is a reconstruction rather than what I experienced as original flow. I write it down as the barest of outlines to the essential ideas of the narrative.

concepts Natural science and experience have domains of
validity The Universe has (must have) manifestation and
Identity That something must come from nothing is a trivial corollary. The extension, duration, variety, summit, and
dissolution The Universe confers these powers on individuals— The individual realizes the Universe. Power is conceived as degree of limitlessness. Apparent limits are part of the constitution Such, too, is the nature of human limits. While in limited form realization is endless process— In unlimited form realization is Aeternitas— The oneness, connection, and continuity That realization for limited form is endless Our civilization is the web of human culture Individuals foster Civilization; (While in limited form realization is endless
process— While individual and Civilization are vehicles, Civilization provides ways of ideation and action— The standard forms of the disciplines— Our apparent limits are Laws or The apparently stable initial ground The individual journey is given. (The thoughts that follow amplify The way of realization lies This break down and rebuilding is appropriately
described as The places of realization are Realization derives inspiration from the disciplines |
