Axiom of Existence

 

Description:

The only true empirical fact we know, is that "something" exists.


The first premise is that there is something that exists—call it consciousness.

Every form must be aware of itself to be able to maintain said form.

From that we derive that there has to be a differentiation of some sort, an otherness. For anything to exist, for anything to be recognisable, to have an identity, it needs to be, in some way, different from its surroundings. Which presupposes some sort of recognisable difference. A this and a that.

There is only one state that could exist as a “precursor” to this process of differentiation, and that is one of absolute Unity, Perfection and Balance. Where everything is One and the same, no other. That is the only state that this realm of differentiation could have arisen from. So, even if this realm of measurement is infinite, it is still only a part of the Realm of Perfection, and a subset thereof.

However, perhaps this subset is in fact an integral part of the Perfection. For sublime perfection would contain both that which is perfection and that which is not. And if the imperfection is only a subset of the Perfection, perhaps the Perfection is still perfect in its totality. In addition, perhaps this so-called imperfection is only a perception of the imperfect’s view of the Perfect.

Could not the Realm of Perfection be a subset of the Realm of Chaos?

The answer is no, because the Realm of Perfection has no differentiations. All is One, all is in balance.

This segway into the what is chaos and what is order. The finite view of perfection is to maintain stasis, even if dynamic within the vicissitudes of its existence. Whereas the infinite has no need to maintain anything, and thus, in the finite, represents chaos, and annihilation of the order in which it maintains itself. Whereas to the infinite, order is the expression of the infinite constraining and restricting itself to a very limited piece of itself.

However, rather than launch into a rigorous rationalisation of this idea, I would like to present it rather as a story of an unfolding. A story starting with the awareness of being aware. All I know, without a doubt, is that I am aware of being alive. With this awareness comes the awareness of the state of not-being alive, or dead, as it is commonly referred to. Somehow, we have been granted the ability to perceive the future — that which is not but will be. In the presence of the certainty of life, we are simultaneously aware of the certainty of our future demise. Of nothing else are we certain — especially as regards the future.

This is why I like to refer to this living conscious dynamic, as the “The Atom of Conscious Existence”. It is the kernel, the reference point, the singularity that forms who I am.

II exist… II am… me? Let’s identify this II as 11… a single entity. However, do not become confused, I am not the One that is everything. I am but a single number in the infinity of possible numbers that make up the Infinity that is One. Note that each number is unique! No two (different) numbers are equal.

[!NOTE]
We emphasise different numbers here, because we could suggest an infinity of two’s for instance. In that case, two “different” two’s would be (mathematically) equal.

[!NOTE]
One could use this as an illustration of the absurdity of a normal amongst people, especially a large group of people (like a large city).
No matter how many people you spawn, if each one is represented by a number, each number is unique, as is each individual whom that number represents.
Now, between 1 and 100, 50 is the norm. Then, if you are 45, you are close to the norm. But if you are 8 or 88, you are far from the norm. And if you are in group 70-100, then your local (or group) norm would be 85.
This is not even discussing any of the many variables that are associated with any of the numbers, if they represent actual individuals.
My point here is that even though there is no information about any number, each one is unique, just as each individual is unique in their own way(s). Thus there is no “absolute” normal. It depends on whom you are observing – and who is the observer.
In addition, if one is mapping a geographic distribution of people, like in a large city, that population is always shifting and thus the norm (amongst the collection of numbers in the city) would also be constantly shifting. In fact, it might vary during the different hours of the day. For instance, the work day population and the night time population might vary greatly, once again affecting any norm. One might even speak of a daytime norm and a nighttime one.
