Introduction

What is metaphysics?

We have already begun metaphysics, which is therefore possible—and continue to develop it.

The ideal framework above shows what will be achieved but not how to best achieve it or what the ultimate is.

Academic 2 – Alt + Shift + G – possible use for detailed academic material

Base – Alt + B – currently similar to General

Central – Alt + M – core material

Comment – Alt + C – multi-function (i) TWB text (ii) general comments, design, things to do

Detail – Ctrl + Shift + H – character style for headings and content not appear in short versions

General – Alt + G – geared to general reader

Heading I – Alt +I – I is a numeral from 1 to 9

Main – Alt + Z – important

Normal – Alt + N – for use without any particular purpose

Realization – Alt + R – geared to realization

Source or study topic – Alt + V

The documents

The four main documents

Reduce to four documents at most

Design and planning,

Essential version,

Outline,

Templates and dedication.

Documents to modify

essence of the way - micro.docm

Immediate

Change essence of the way - short.docm per elements of being and pathway.

Action

Complete pathway,

Center – out,

Align this file with essence of the way - short,

Minimize other files in resources to outline, essence of the way, and templates; continue to align and combine this file with essence of the way.

Put all planning for these files in one place and link to the plan from the other files.

essence of the way - short.docm

Sequence of action

My plan – some points > redo the following

Review, minimize this each editing session. Quick – once through Firm styles…

Pathways > improve points, write min, and max versions > my plan.

An opening inspiration for my day > life > beyond < to access at any time… and select styles for quick reference. Levels of jhang-word-action – now (i) this (ii) my life.

Firm styles impose center – top > out – bottom firm styles.

Hidden design and plan section to be placed – where?

Make a short and a long version (reducing all essays and outlines, especially in this folder; list essays).

Basic site designed (i) for minimality in content and html function (ii) center – out for accessibility (iii) functionality for readers (iv) personal functionality—morning and ‘always’ program and inspiration (v) mobile functionality.

My life – ground (security – money, place for community and environment, safety) > the way of being (in fear and pain).

essence of the way.docm

While the document is in-process, planning, comments, and markup will be retained.

meta

replan every edit period

streamline

dimensions and paradigms of being

paths

essentialize with styles

above

outline essential points

think through the logic of editing / writing / presenting

with view to summary (center-top and level ii work before out-down amplifying for the long version)

outline essential points <> minimize

when to edit ‘realize’

tables of contents

what kinds of tables of contents? consider just central points, headings, and various levels of detail, and so on.

words

check for words to reflect on

words to reflect on – pleasure, pain, actual world, the lever, metaphysics

things to add

the comments

the one thing – general and personal – for now – this trip summary conclusion is to emphasize security + realization.

economics is about discovery, use, creation, and distribution of value; the spiritual is about creation of limitless value, which is dialetheic in that it is untrue in ‘this realm’ in that it has a cost in terms of pain.

is the trajectory of every being merely rise and fall – what of the universe itself – or is it eternal cycling without limit to peak including return to and emergence from potential, named death and birth.

are origins explanatory – and what is to be explained and what is the explanandum – e.g., the entire ‘history’ of the universe and (absolute) necessity.

outline of the way.docm—the main current outline

parallel action plan with ongoing simplification

essentials

combine the essentials and concepts part of the core and identify main statements; identify key points and concepts; focus on k-system rather than the disciplines, e.g. philosophy, science, metaphysics, and so on

rework plan

import

do the following in the sequence (i) realization > return (ii) into the way (iii) reference > (iv) the remaining (main) content in the given order

import from the earlier outline with simplification—outline structure (with stars for parallel material), concepts, material, sources, study topics, explanations…

the essence of the following on the development of the concepts will go to ‘into the way’

hierarchize concepts > review, improve concept organization (hierarchic, around main concepts), development, and content, focusing on weak parts first; use this template—

meta-issues (meaning, definition, method, concept holism, epistemic and existential motives for the concepts, co-development across the world) are among the concepts, so that talk about the system is part of the system

what—definition (as used here), noting that existence of the object must be established

alternate and related terms; reasons for choice

meaning—concept-object, nature of the object – intrinsic, definite vs indefinite (and in-process)

why—significance, place in whole – relation to other concepts

main vs subordinate

related concepts (on the same and distinct levels)

place among received meanings (historical), reasons for differences

simplify the heading structure

database

implement in a database of concepts (with hierarchic structure, definition, significance, and so on)

write

write, co-edit, publish

done

identify concepts in essentials and holism; re / sub – sequence

improve concepts, possibly combine with essentials; refine essentials of the way of being and integrate it with the world.pdf (the integration is near complete); macro on how to deal with repeat concepts

amplify ‘healthy living’ here and/or in pathway overview.docm; review and combine into one relatively brief document – templates and dedication.docm and ../../2021/topic essays/the way.docm (the brief document could be templates and dedication.docm, in which case it may be renamed while yoga.docm will be retained)

first edit , for synthesis of the major classes of religion – abrahamic, buddhism, hinduism (with yoga and advaita vedanta), sikhism, and religions of the far east

healthy living… improve and expand and identify main statements – consider the phrase ‘healthy living’, incorporate person vs experience as ‘atom’ of being and morality, politics-economics, essence of religion; why is religion a thing – does everyone have a religion ( / spiritual side) – what is religion – what does it mean to ask what religion is; qd and univ lists > combine with this the world.pdf – ‘my program’ (../../2022/theway/my life/the world.pdf) (essentials)
