Introduction

Progression of documents

This document lists especially useful materials in groups that correspond roughly to inverse progression in time.

This archive lists only the main documents and essential folders. The folders contain many other documents.

Progression of content

In many cases the difference between a document and its previous version is small. The publication on the web may be questioned. Here is a response:

The change between one document and the next may be to record a single point of content or mode of presentation.

The website http://www.horizons-2000.org, the maintenance of versions (e.g. 2011-2012 jib in-process\Versions), and the archive serves as a record of the evolution of my thought and as proof of publication.

The general topic of the site is “as far as it is good, to know the range of being and to realize the highest immediate and ultimate forms”. This requires a metaphysics and a theory of transformation. Thus, in a sense the topic includes all knowledge. However, there is more than that for the metaphysics is new—and ultimate—and this requires a bringing under its fold the range of human knowledge and reworking it in light of the new metaphysics. Therefore, while the change between some though not all successive documents is small the net change is large.

Nested within the total system are many particular developments that could be individual publications which, however, I choose to present under the umbrella system.

Main work to date

This is not up to date. Also see Topic files, Philosophy Bites, and outline for the way.

Second production

I am not listing all files because repetition has proliferated. However, the following are significant:

Explaining the way of being—created July 2015, Booklet manual-print—shorter than the next, Booklet manual V.2—July 2015, Booklet manual—April 2015, The realizations-resource version—resource version, The way of being-essential (short version); and an outline (outline with planning and notes), Journey in Being-detail—older but more detailed than the previous, Book--with color 2014 (pdf)

2011-2012 jib in-process\talks—folder with ‘talk’ material.

2011-2012 jib in-process\outline.html—new approach to writing the metaphysics that begins with constraints and freedoms of our empirical knowledge and logic (which are seen, contra-convention and contra-what-is-thought-today-to-be-reason, to be a unit); continues with the conditions (1) that there is Being (2) there is precisely one Universe and (3) the Void exists. Of all these the only one that is in the nature of an assumption is the existence of the Void which is shown to be most plausible (a proof is given but I am not entirely certain of its integrity though I am certain that it contains no errors and, further, alternative proofs and plausibility arguments are given; and finally, it is shown consistent with all valid knowledge). Modification of this outline—2011-2012 jib in-process\mod-outline.html

Journey in Being-reserve—useful for same reasons as above but not quite as ‘mature’ (was Journey in Being).

Previous Versions of Journey in Being

The following link to Older versions of Journey in being.
