October 08, 2024

(v.3.0) Ontology of Existence

1. God: The Greatest Whole

Nature: Transcendent, non-physical.

Scope: Encompasses all of existence, more than the sum of all things.

Relation to the Physical World: God exists beyond the physical, yet encompasses it.

Relation to Consciousness: All consciousness originates from God, and God is the source of the singularities placed within beings.


2. Singularity: The Tiniest Part

Nature: Non-physical, indivisible.

Function: The core unit of consciousness, placed or created within the body upon birth.

Interaction with the Body: Generates a mental field (the mind) around the body by interacting with it.

Role: Acts as the conduit between consciousness and the physical world.

Relation to God: Derives its nature or existence from God, as part of the greater whole.


3. Consciousness

Nature: Non-physical, foundational.

Location: Resides within the Singularity.

Function: Awareness and intention, which flow through the Singularity.

Relation to the Mind: Uses the mind (the field generated by the Singularity interacting with the body) as a medium to perceive, experience, and act within the physical world.

Relation to the Physical World: Consciousness, through the Singularity and mind, operates in the physical world but is not bound by it.


4. Mind

Nature: Non-physical, a field surrounding the body.

Origin: Emerges from the interaction of the Singularity with the body.

Function: A mental field through which consciousness interacts with the physical world, allowing perception, thought, feeling, and intention.

Relation to Consciousness: The mind is a medium or tool used by consciousness to bring awareness into the body and influence the physical world.


5. Body

Nature: Physical, divisible.

Relation to the Singularity: Provides the medium through which the Singularity generates the mind.

Relation to the Mind: The body and the mind interact, allowing consciousness to operate within the physical realm.

Role: Acts as the vessel for consciousness and mind in the physical world.


6. Physical World

Nature: Divisible, lacks a singular smallest part or greatest whole.

Relation to the Singularity: The Singularity resides within a body in the physical world but remains non-physical itself.

Relation to God: The physical world is part of the whole that God encompasses but does not fully capture God's essence.

Singularity and Mind: The mind is a field generated by the Singularity’s interaction with the body, serving as a tool for consciousness.

Consciousness and Mind: Consciousness uses the mind to interface with the body and the physical world.

Consciousness and Body: Consciousness, through the mind, perceives and influences the body, allowing awareness and action in the physical realm.

BODY

The Living Boundary

Your body is not one boundary. It’s boundaries all the way down.

○ is body as interface. It’s the place where inside meets outside, where you open and close, where you breathe in air, take in food, receive touch, absorb experience. It is not a wall. It’s a selective membrane—alive, responsive, and always in motion.

Try This

Close your eyes and feel where your body ends and the air begins. Notice how many tiny sensations are being woven into that one felt “edge.”

MIND

The Field Between

Φ is mind as field—the living medium between center (•) and boundary (○). It’s the whole relational space where signals from the body come in, where awareness from the center flows out, and where the two blend into conscious experience.

Try This

Notice your body breathing by itself. That’s ○. Now notice that you’re noticing. That reflective awareness is flowing from •. Then feel the space in which both are happening. That’s Φ.

SOUL

The Aware Center

• is soul as center—not a substance lurking somewhere inside you, but the point of view from which everything is seen. It is the structural center of the whole circumpunct.

Bodies change completely over a lifetime. Memories blur, identities shift. And yet, there’s a sense that the one who was there then is the same one who is here now.

Try This

Close your eyes. Notice your breath. Then, gently, turn attention back toward that awareness itself—not the objects in it, but the fact that knowing is happening. That’s •.

CIRCUMPUNCT

The Whole You

⊙ is the circumpunct: a circle with a point at the center. The circle is the boundary that holds everything that is “you” as a single system. The point is centeredness—the soul that experiences from within.

Instead of thinking, “I have a body, I have a mind, I have a soul,” you can think, “I am ⊙: a whole being whose body, mind, and soul are three faces of the same process.”

Try This

Feel your body as one shape (○). Notice the space of awareness in which thoughts arise (Φ). Sense the quiet center that’s aware of all of this (•). Then soften your attention to hold all three at once. That’s ⊙.

You are not on your way to being ⊙. You are ⊙, right now.
