Text 2: The Voyage of the Self to the World

May Life and Peace be upon all beings.

 

The World is the Whole (Cosmos) that Is One (the Universe) and All that Might be (the Omniverse).

 

As a Whole, the World contains Multiple things that Are (the Beings) and that Might be (the Mights).

 

A Being is a thing that is actually present within time and space, thus physical. Beings are physical bodies made of energy and matter. Some of them can be perceived by the senses, thus being sensible.

 

A Might is a thing that might be, that is potential, beyond time and space, thus metaphysical. Mights are potentialities, such as principles, ends, values, ideals, ideas, concepts. Thus, they may or may not manifest themselves within time and space in the form of Beings. They can be conceived by the intellect, thus they are intelligible.

 

Each thing in the World, Being or Might, differentiates from other things, beings and mights, thus it is an Individual, that may be an individual being or an individual might.

 

Each Individual Being has senses thus consciousness, thus it is a Self that differentiates from other individual beings that are other selves.
The Self is individuality, individual being, individual existence, individual senses, individual consciousness, individual life, individual experience, individual history; and then all these make the Self to be an individual world, thus each Self is an individual world.
As the World contains Multiple Individual Selves, thus it contains Multiple Individual Worlds (the Multiverse). The World contains as many Worlds as there are Individual Selves.

 

Each Self is an Individual Being that exists and lives within time and space.

 

As the Self is but one individual among all the countless individuals in the World, it perceives and experiences only a small fraction of the World, the fraction that is immediately apparent to its own senses, but the most part of the World remains hidden from the Self’s perception.

 

As the Self lives within time, thus it necessarily changes and evolves from the beginning of its life until the end of its life, its evolution implying growth of its senses and experiences thus growth of its consciousness, growth of itself (of its Self).
The evolution of the Self is its growth from its beginning state of vacuity and innocence to its ending state of experience and knowledge thus maturity and autonomy.

 

The Humans are Beings or Selves whose Consciousness, being Reflective thus conscious of their own consciousness, is Complete.
The Human Consciousness, having, additionally to the senses, an Intellect, it has the capacity to perceive beyond its senses, to conceive by the intellect what is not sensible, the Hidden part of the World, that is still intelligible, as what Might be that we still miss to become Complete.

 

The Intellect conceives that the Hidden part of the World is much larger, deeper, higher, and greater than the part of the World that is apparent to the senses,
That it might contain much more things to sense, to feel, to experience, to find, to attain, to discover, to receive, to live, to know, to become,
So many other sensations, feelings, experiences, personalities and characters, ways of being and ways of living,
So many other places, peoples and cultures, animals and plants, lands and seas and skies, elements, and other worlds,
So much unknown Beauty and Power to feel,
The Mystery of the Life and of the World!

 

Thus, the Human Self, in its core being, is always necessarily and naturally seeking the Hidden part of the World that is beyond its senses, far beyond the horizon of the apparent World. Seeking and finding what is hidden beyond the horizon of our senses is an intuitive need that we, Humans, all have.

 

The distance separating the part of the world that is apparent to the senses of the Self,
From the part of the World that is hidden beyond the horizon of the senses but that the intellect conceives as what might be,
Is the Way of the Self to the World.

 

The movement of the Self to leave the part of the world that is apparent to the senses,
To move forward and seek the part of the World that is hidden beyond the horizon of the senses and ultimately find it,
Is the Voyage of the Self on the Way to the World.

 

The Voyage of the Self on the Way to the World goes through numerous and complex paths, like a maze, that each lead to different places, that are not all what we seek to attain.
Paths that are followed and places that are attained do not all lead us to safety, beauty, power, happiness and good; but when we are lost or misguided, some paths and places may lead us to danger, ugliness, weakness, suffering and evil.
Thus, the Voyage of the Self seeking the World needs a Guidance to be shown the Right Directions to follow,
To not let danger prevent us from reaching safety,
To not let ugliness prevent us from sensing beauty,
To not let weakness prevent us from discovering power,
To not let suffering prevent us from feeling happiness,
And to not let evil prevent us from becoming and doing good.

 

The Guidance shows us the Right Directions to Balance, Union, and Completeness, then Liberty, Power, and Happiness, through mistakes and improvements, difficulties and joys, losses and gains, ordeals and successes.
Such a Guidance comes from the One All, that reveals what Is and what Might be to our Consciousness,
Through our Senses and Feelings,
Through Life within us and around us,
And through the Intellect,
From the Centre of our Selves and from the World around us.

 

For the Self to be Rightly Guided, the Self should have Confidence,
Let go of its thoughts,
Focus on what is Present Here and Now,
Be Aware of itself and its surroundings,
Pay Attention and Observe,
Sense, Watch, Listen, Feel, Live,
Reflect and Reason,
Then the Right Direction to Safety, Liberty, Power on ourselves, and Happiness, shall appear Clearly!
