OVERVIEW
The world understood as appearance and the world as object are only superficially distinct
Being = very being = my soul (and existence) is contained in the idea of existence because all levels of existence have being (the power of the concept of being)
Is = ‘is at any value of any index of being including space-time’
The universe is all there is and therefore possibility, actuality and necessity are essentially identical
Nothingness is the absence of things. Can there be laws in nothingness? No, (1) ‘It’ wouldn’t be nothingness, and (2) Laws are arrangements of things of a lower order. Therefore, by simple logic, all states that have a concept, i.e., do not involve contradiction, must come from nothingness. Further, by the same logic, nothingness = all being. All possibilities exist at some indexed values. One LAW is the law of logic or possibility which is, in its nature given without existing
All things actual and all things imaginable or imagined (a form of the actual) are, provided not contradictory, possible. U = ¥ (all indexes), there is recurrence over all indexes, ¥.Φ = 1. Φ, there is spontaneous creation and annihilation, Jesus Christ arises from the dead…
But surely, this contradicts someone’s common sense, someone’s science… and is there anyone for whom it provides meaning?
Regarding science and common sense a simple argument shows that considerations of near stability and symmetry and incremental change result in NORMAL cosmological systems with regular behavior (quasi causation and quasi determinism) and that annihilation and rising from the dead are possible but rare and that annihilation is doubly rare. These phenomena may be possible but are not ‘normally normal.’ In a normal cosmological system, normal explanation replaces certain explanation (normality is primitive to probability)
Meaning: the foregoing provides a framework for all understanding and shows that all change or modes of being are accessible though not all are desirable or feasible. This takes us to the beginning of a journey of desire, practice (feasibility) and ideals
