ABSOLUTE Quotes

“Immaterial essence is the primary quality; its “material” appearance is the secondary quality (primary quality to Locke), while the sensations are tertiary. The primary quality is the absolute quality of the Being (present yet immaterial and invisible). The secondary quality is the world as unaware information (unaware “awareness”)—perception and awareness cause the tertiary quality. Secondary and tertiary qualities are the result and degrees of the living mind (immaterial essence) in action.”

“Since almost everything we see (or do not see) is a matter of “convention,” we can say that all we see is the result of our perception. The picture of “reality” and the world depends on our perception. Although we all see the same things (with slight differences measured in nuances), the same colors, and the same shapes, this does not change the fact that it all results from our perception. On the other hand, we are not the creators of our perceptions but the beneficiaries. The only difference we make is in the endless nuances and possibilities despite the limits of our perceptive powers.”

“One of the main philosophical problems has always been the dualism between mind and matter. Although logical and rather obvious, this dualism becomes less logical and evident if we break the limitations of our senses and habitual thinking. This paradigm has established itself as almost the absolute truth, but is it true that there is a definite difference between mind and matter, or is matter only a property of mind, a creation of mind?”

“The matter we see is not the matter that exists. The whole Universe is a vast transmitter of the ultimate message of life. Every being that participates in the game of life is a messenger, regardless of how minuscule it is. The whole Universe is a mental system. This system powers all that exists. Perception is an idea. Matter is an idea. There is nothing beyond thought, mind, spirit, or information.”

“Energy or matter, without being powered by the Ultimate Universal Force (Universal Mind), the source of everything, would not be able to finely tune itself irrespective of the potential for combinations and irrespective of its size (even if it were millions of times larger than our Universe). If it were not for the force beyond energy and matter (the Ultimate Immaterial Source of Everything) feeding, organizing, and fine-tuning it, energy and matter would be dead, without any life or force in them.”

“On the level below the strings, the smallest immaterial “particles” (“waves”) reach the "absolute speed." Based on this, the smallest and undetectable “particles” (“waves”) are everywhere, micro and macro, since they are fundamental and indivisible. They must be anywhere simultaneously at an almost absolute speed. Absolute speed is equal to no speed. That is the static state of absolute speed. In this way, the Universe is “static” on its “highest” “point” on a macro level and its lowest on a micro level. From this principle comes the unity of Everything. At the moment of “absolute speed,” energy or matter disappears.”

“Life is not perfect. Almost nothing is ideal in the strictest sense, and we humans are not perfect in the strictest sense. But what is perfection? Even if a human being, or anything else, could have been perfect, would that "perfection" be desirable from an absolute point of view? Regardless of our debates about the intelligent design of the Universe or accidental appearance or always present matter and the always present Universe, the question remains—what is perfection (or absolute goodness), and how much do we know about perfection (is perfection perfect)?”

“What is Nothing? When we use the word “is,” that usually means what follows must be something. But if what follows is nothing, this means that nothing does not exist. If nothing does not exist, then the question is why we would even bother saying that. When something is, it usually means that it exists. How can something be anything, even nothing, if it does not exist? So, nothing is only a word, and we can use the “is” before the word nothing in that sense. It still does not mean that the real nothing, of which the word nothing is only a verbal representation, a written sign, exists. Without nothing, there can be no largest nor smallest of anything material.”

“We can be sure that the fifth element (idea) was immaterial for Plato and Aristotle, who used the term aether. The fifth element (Latin: quinta esentia) differs from the other four elements (Earth, Water, Fire, and Air). When we look at aether, from the perspective of our philosophy, as the main principle before the formation of the world, as a potential (in posse), during its actualization (in esse), and as the underlying Being or reality of all the existence, then this term can be equated with God or, conditionally, with the Universal Mind. A posse ad esse is the transformation from the potential of the Universal Mind to its actualization as the Universe.”

“Although the Being (Universal Mind) is not material, it does not mean that we cannot, conditionally, call this Mind an immaterial “substance.” This clarification is important to understand how an immaterial entity can transform into something we experience as material. Whatever we perceive and experience through our senses is based on conventions from secondary qualities of the world (as described by Locke, Berkeley, David Hume, and others). Perhaps our most admirable ability is primarily based on an “illusion.” Without this illusion, the world would not only be a sad place but a place without purpose. The whole truth and the beauty of the world lie hidden in this illusion. Our Reality is an illusion, and we shall reinvestigate the word illusion. Without illusion, there is no reality. If illusion is the source of our reality, we shall redefine illusion.”

“Infinity is a mathematical, spatial, and temporal impossibility except as a concept. It is absurd if understood as an actuality (the universe, the world). Even if we try to imagine the infinity of the Universal Mind as “actuality” playing out all its potential simultaneously, that is impossible because infinity is both theoretically and practically unreachable.”

“The world from nothing is impossible, and life from nonlife is impossible. The world was always here, in one way or another, and nothingness was always here. The World is the Universal Mind’s “program” of the Absolute that, by involving nothingness, becomes the Universe. However, the Universe still bears all that is known and unknown to us with the spark of life in it.”

“When, at the speed of light, the mass becomes “infinite,” that is the moment of absolute, infinite density when space disappears. “Infinite” density is the “point” of disappearance. The spaceless point of zero is the channel between the Being and Nonbeing, between existence and nothingness. Through this zero point, the Universal Mind “materializes” itself by creating “matter” and the existing universe. That is the “point” before the Big Bang, the point of absolute density and no space or time. Absolute density is the “point” before the dispersion of Oneness (Singularity) into materialized plurality. Infinite mass is impossible. The state of absolute mass would be when everything would transform into mass, and the void would disappear. That is impossible. Reaching the state of infinite mass is the same state the “mass” or “energy” was in before the Big Bang. That state is the state of no mass and no energy. Absolute “density” is the state beyond matter and energy. This state is immaterial. The effect of the infinite kinetic energy would be equivalent to the infinite mass if possible.”

“The Creator, the Primordial Being (Universal Mind), is the Ultimate Primary Quality of Reality. Creation (energy, matter) is the secondary quality of reality. The effects of the secondary qualities on the mind are tertiary qualities on my scale of qualities. In Lock’s classification, our secondary quality would be primary, and our tertiary quality would be secondary. This distinction is essential for understanding the nature of reality.”

“Space is only possible in existence because beyond existence, in the pure essence of the Absolute, there is no space, which means there is no time. The other mode or sine qua non of existence is a plurality. The world must transform from primordial oneness and singularity into the plurality of existence or life. This transformation does not mean that the singularity disappears but that this singularity transforms into a plurality that powers not only existence and life but, more importantly, meaning and purpose. Still, there is always an underlying Oneness pervading reality of which quantum entanglement is one of the most obvious signs.”

“Matter, as something obvious and tangible, is all around us, but as we already know—what we perceive is only a presentation of the world to our senses through which we make the picture of the world. Our senses allow us to touch, smell, and feel love, pleasure, and pain. Everything looks material in a literal sense, yet what lives is only an idea translated through the senses. All we feel, touch, smell, and see exists because we not only touch it, smell it, and see it but are aware of it and have an idea about it. Beyond all we see or imagine, there is an overpowering mind. Without this, mind-matter is not only dead but is also not possible.”

“There is no actual death in the Universe, only a transition from one state to another. The fact that matter, for the most part, does not have an awareness of itself does not change this fact. Matter itself, in all its forms, is alive everywhere. This life is possible only through something which channels it and feeds it. That something is the Absolute Mind or what, often misused and misinterpreted, the word God means in a deeper and broader sense.”

“We can accept energy transformation into mass and that they are the same. But matter, or this kind of energy, could have never come into Being just of itself and could not have created itself, as it is, from nothing. As we described, matter (energy, mass) is impossible without the primary quality. Not only would it not be possible, but it would also be dead without direction, purpose, and meaning. Although, according to Einstein, matter is a condensed energy, energy is still massless. Without kinetic energy, everything would not only come to a stop but disappear. Through motion, the Universal Source secures all the laws of physics, including gravitation and the universal cosmic order. In a way, energy is an unidentifiable “force,” the Bridge between the universal Source and matter.”

“Richard Feynman had to say this about energy in his 1961 lecture: “There is a fact, or if you wish, a law, governing all natural phenomena that are known to date. There is no known exception to this law – it is exact so far as we know. The law is called the conservation of energy. It states that there is a certain quantity, which we call energy that does not change in manifold changes which nature undergoes. That is a most abstract idea, because it is a mathematical principle; it says that there is a numerical quantity which does not change when something happens. It is not a description of a mechanism, or anything concrete; it is just a strange fact that we can calculate some number and when we finish watching nature go through her tricks and calculate the number again, it is the same.” All significant philosophers and scientists throughout history were in their own right, right if we consider the context, time, and place, the point from which they observed the world by the means available to them. If we understand this context, we know how much harder it was for them to decipher the world previously unknown, except as an experience without fundamental and deeper understanding. In this sense, all these philosophers and scientists were, in a way, “right,” even when they were “not” right. Correctness or wrongness of their ideas and opinions shall be measured more by how they helped our understanding and ideas developed directly from their thoughts. Even if they were in some way wrong, great ideas helped our ideas develop and allowed the formation and formulations of great ideas that will follow. Quality and potential of insights and ideas are more important than strict correctness without any potential. Progress in human history would not be possible without following the traces of long-bygone giants (as Newton understood them). We can hardly produce any new important question that ancient Greek philosophers did not pose. The whole idea of Western philosophy, as it is, would not be possible without the ancient Greeks. This statement holds even when we talk about the modern era’s greatest philosophers, starting with Descartes and culminating in the works of the great German philosophers Leibnitz, Kant, Hegel, Schopenhauer, the Dutch Spinoza, and others. Almost all central questions or problems treated by these philosophers were already postulated, discussed, or touched, directly or indirectly, by the great ancient philosophers who paved the way for the others.”

“This illusion is reality, and we shall acknowledge it as such. The interdependence of secondary and primary qualities, the dependence of our senses on the world, and the formation of our impressions are all realities. But, if reality is not reality, as we see it or understand it, this does not mean it is not a reality. Without these “illusions,” there would be no meaningful reality. Reality as it is, in its ultimate and absolute state, without transformations, is equal to nothing.”

“Another force, which is not a force at all but is equally important, is the "force" of the Nonbeing, the force of the Nothing, the force of Emptiness, or the absolute vacuum. Without this “force,” space and time would not be possible. We must also state that time is impossible without space. In this sense, we treat time as a feature or property of space.”

“Tunnel from the absolute realm into the relative realm of the world and vice versa. Without one, there is no other. This point could also be the nucleus of a black hole at the point of its absolute density where everything sank into One without any space. That is the Zero point. This point is the gateway to new life. At this point, a black hole either “explodes” or disappears.”

“According to Einstein, gravity is not a force but the shape of space curvature in the spacetime continuum. If gravity is not a force, and it is not, but the effect of the curvature of space, then the curvature of space is the effect of motion. This spacetime continuum and, consequently, the curvature of space would not be possible without spaceless space and timeless time. Spaceless space is infinity, and timeless time is eternity. Spaceless and timeless are the basis for space and time. Universal Mind is the basis for creation. This creation is the creation of the World (“matter”), space with curvatures, and time that can be “measured.” Without an absolute void, there would be no space, and there would be no time. Without space, time, in its real sense, is not possible.”

“Dimension gains its value only when something is already measured. Before we measured it, we did not know its dimensions. In this sense, we cannot say that space has dimensions but that specific quantitative values can be measured. Here, too, we come in contact with the idea of the concept, where the concept goes astray from an idea or truth in proportion to its linguistic separation from the rule or its original idea of the very words and their meanings. The linguistic purpose of the word dimension, originally, was to represent the measure of some of the features, or all, of space and not to be the very feature or property of space or of that to which the measure, dimension, is applied, or of that which it sustains.”

“Energy is the world-born phenomenon, the world that puts itself in motion and flies into space by receiving space into itself. From this point of view or the point of view of the Theory of Relativity, matter is indeed condensed energy. But, from the Absolute, or the Theory of the Absolute, both energy and matter are the dissolved forms of the primordial world of the Absolute. Therefore, energy is the “dissolved” Absolute, and matter is the formation of “energy” into objects of the multitude of the Absolute, which transforms from oneness and singularity into plurality (although oneness is never lost).”
