The Way of Being

the way of being

The concepts. Being (existence) and knowing (and value as an aspect of knowing—ethical, aesthetic, meaning of life), reason (knowledge – interwoven codevelopment of content and method: fact, inference, possibility, necessity; structure of the world, metaphysical system). beings—existents, especially universe as all being, cosmoses, constraints (or laws), void as absence of being, beings capable of experience-agency-self-knowledge. Though definition does not guarantee realization, initial abstraction of these concepts does. Significance of the concepts. Being has been seen contrarily as simple vs deep. Here, a dual top-down-simple / bottom-up-deep approach results in perfection; yet being remains in discovery and progress while we are limited. The approach is perfect in revealing ultimates while embracing imperfection in our being-thought-language. The approach has algebraic power—the real is treated as a multi-faceted unknown. The unknowable hypothetical is effectively nonexistent—Significant being knows self and world. From being, see the world as just the world, which, seemingly trivial and superficial, rejects pre-determined essence, is thus a source of power, which is furthered in seeing that the void has no laws, so the universe and all beings are limitless. There results a perfect framework, which, filled with imperfect pragmatic detail, constitutes a perfect system—relative to ultimate realization, named real metaphysics (thus, depth is within, not of being. Pathways. meaning and lifeways are not imposed but emerge with this worldview). Enlightenment is balance of path and local perfection. (Human) being is experiential and though discrete over time, is all being above time. For more on the concepts see detail.
