The way of being is shared realization of the ultimate in, for, and from the world. Why—to be whole; world and ultimate mesh, enhance each other. Sources—being (the real); nature; action-experience (perception, intuition, reason, agency, meta-experience); culture-knowledge (symbol, science, philosophy), history. Limitlessness—as limits have being, the void (emptiness) has no limits and, so, the universe, and all beings are limitless in limitless ways. Therefore, universe has identity, limitless variety, peaks in which all beings merge, dissolutions without end. Groundlessness—at a level above regions (e.g., in spacetime), all beings are equivalent; every being grounds all being—necessity is the cause of the universe. Limits, particularly birth and death, are real but not absolute. As it filters distortion, such abstract knowledge is perfect. Its join to the sources above, the ‘real metaphysics’, imperfect by received criteria, is process perfect in realization of the ultimate. Means of realization—aware (inner) and object (outer) aspects of experience. And there are paths to the ultimate, effective-rewarding, accepting of and transcending our present being and world. Paths begin in, illuminate, promote the world; address problems and opportunities of our world and beyond. Traditional ways are limited; realization is intelligent shared negotiation that addresses inner-outer experience, and the immediate (nature, society) and the ultimate. Pain is unavoidable; the shared path with healing is the best approach to pain, entertainment, and realization. Doubt is addressed in seeing (a) consistency of limitlessness with and demonstration from experience and reason (b) substantial and existential value in paths, particularly in living doubt and confidence. Adventure—from limitlessness, the way is endless, ever fresh. Resources for realization the way—introduction paths—templates (print), received (religion, paths, spirituality) supplements—metaphysics and vocabulary, system of knowledge, sources, resources (2022), reading, bibliography, daily and useful links development of the way—more resources; design, outline. |
