The role of the template for Realizations of being ANIL MITRA, © June 2014 Outline
THE TEMPLATE AND PLANThe templateThe template is an outline of the main ideas of ‘realizations of being’. Development of the template is complete as of June 16, 2014. Function1. Guide to modules written in the process of realization (from the field). Material will be placed in special documents to be linked from an index of files. 2. Guide to later versions of ‘realizations of being’. Details will be written in special files for (a) extended developments of topics that are central to realization and (b) special topics that are significant consequences of the main ideas but not central to realization. 3. A roadmap for realization showing, in general and personal terms, what may be worth achieving and means. Related documents1. The template. 3. The categories of being. 4. A plan for study. DETAILED DEVELOPMMENTSThe central development is knowledge and action toward realization. Main and extended topicsPreface and introductionSee aim, destiny and origin and name of the narrative.

Possibility, limits, realism; cosmology: identity, variety, realization. The practical metaphysics. Source: experience—union of pure and practical which includes what is valid in tradition. Best possible, still and ever open. RealizationRealization: nature and necessity of; enhancement by intelligent engagement; elements and mechanics; dimensions Path: the way; being; becoming—ideas, identity, civilization, and artifact) Special topicsPlan—as of June 16, 2014 there are few special topics files. They may be created when needed. When a topic occurs within a special part it is marked with a superscripted ampersand (&). Sources for the topicsThe main general sources for the special topics are the template, the central statements, journey in being-detail and the archive. Some topics have their own file or files.
