IntroductionThe purpose of this document is to list all work that may be useful in writing final versions (short, long, technical, general) of Journey in being The list starts with current documents and ‘elements.’ Each element is devoted to some topic that may occur with repetition and so it seemed efficient to write up that topic in one place; the efficiency is, first, that the topic is there in one place and, second, that it can be improved in one place without having to sieve through everything to upgrade to the improvement ‘Talks’ currently has one document that is to be the basis of prepared and impromptu talks. This document needs significant thought and revision toward its purpose. I plan to write versions for a range of audiences All documents through ‘Talks’ were written after the key idea that enabled proof of the central insight of the metaphysics of Journey in being. With this proof, what was merely intuitive became clear and definite; passion was welded to reason; and the force and method of the demonstration led to development on multiple fronts: elaboration of the metaphysics; application of the metaphysics within philosophy and to other disciplines; implications for the human endeavor—science, religion, our view of the universe; and to the possibility, necessity, and nature of the journey of realization in which individual and universal identity merge (the thought is not new but the way and the proof are new) in a peak of realization only to experience dissolution and repetition of the process (the peaks are not at all identical) The ‘archive’ section contains older essays and documents that may be useful Current and in-process workJourney in being-narrative outline Journey in being-story outline Journey in being—the essay Elementsauthors, sources and references difficulties concerning understanding and pertinence dynamics, catalysts and catalytic states historical sources of the void and the metaphysics Journey in being-concepts-themes-problems-introductions-essences metaphysics, my, compared to modern world views possibilities for reading and study topics, concepts and propositions-old-2006 universal metaphysics, formulations of the TalksArchive of older versions and related documentsHistory of thought and action-not original-2005 History of Western Philosophy-some significant original ideas but dependent on sources-1988, 2007 Journey in Being - 2005 - toward 2006 version Journey in Being - whereof one cannot speak - 2004 Journey in Being preliminary-2004 Journey in Being-2003-new ideas Journey in Being-2003.

Of course no work can be entirely original for everything rests on what came before; where I have developed in rigor and elaboration there have been glimpses of these elements; and we do not invent the language in which we speak (even though we may contribute to its development) |
