Text 3: Life and the Self and Knowledge

May Life and Peace be upon all beings.

Within the One All World, which is the Whole Cosmos that is the One Being (Universe) and All that Might be (Omniverse), Time is the movement from the First Beginning to the Final End.

The First Beginning is what IS, the Being.
Within the Being is movement that is Life. In the primordial state of the Being, all is identical, and nothing is differentiated, there is only One thing everywhere and always, the Being. Thus, the already present movements of Life within the Being complete each other in a complete balance that seems motionless and immobile.
The movement of Life is felt by each Self or Individual being as Warmth, the more intense the movement is, the warmer it is felt, and the livelier it is experienced.
The most immediate movement of Life that we, Humans, can sense, is the Breath, within us, and around us such as the wind.
This is why language expresses the concept of Life, and the force and energy that Life carries, by the word “Breath”, that is named in ancient languages as:
Pneuma in Greek
Spiritus in Latin, from which come the words “Spirit” and thus “Spiritual”
Ruah in Hebrew and Ruh in Arabic
Prana in Sanskrit
Chi in Chinese
Ki in Japanese

When the Might acts on the Being, the different potentialities of the Might make the Being to differentiate into different Individual beings, the Selves, that take form and manifest into existence.
The Individual Self, and all the different Individual Selves, are each distinct beings into which Being and Might are combined in different ways.
Within the Self occur different movements, among which we, Humans, can sense the most immediately are: movements entering inside of the Self such as inspiration; and movements exiting outside of the Self such as expiration; both alternating in a balanced and perpetual cycle that sustains the Self’s individuality and existence, thus we sense breathing as a sign that a being is alive thus a conscious individual Self.
This is why language expresses the concept of Self Individuality and Conscience by the word “Breathing”, that is named in ancient languages as:
Psuche in Greek, from which come the words “Psyche” and thus “Psychic”
Anima in Latin, from which comes the French word “Âme”
Nafash in Hebrew and Nafs in Arabic
Atman in Sanskrit

The Final End is what Might be, the Might.
The Might is all that might be, and all the potential ends of all the movements and changes that might occur.
Access and reception of the Might is the Knowledge, that is the faculty of containing within the Self the potentialities of what might be and what might become.
The most immediate and apparent sense by which we, Humans, can access Knowledge, is vision, this is why Knowledge is represented by Light, as Light enables us to see and to know what we don’t see when there is no light in the dark.
The concept of Knowledge is expressed in various languages through various though related concepts such as:
Logos in Greek, that means “word” or “speech”, from which come the word “Logic”, and the suffix “-logy” that expresses the speech about a given topic
Gnosis in Greek, that means “to know”
Intellectus in Latin, that means “selecting between (things)”, from which come the word “Intellect” and thus “Intellectual”

Therefore, Life and the Self and Knowledge are defined and interrelated as following:

Life is the First Beginning and being and movement of all that IS, that constitutes all of Nature’s physical bodies and elements, it is the source and origin from which all beings and selves come. It is felt as Warmth and as Breath, it is experienced and represented as the Breath of Life. It is the One World, the Universe.

The Self is what differentiates into Individual forms and existences when the Might of the Knowledge acts on the Being of Life to differentiate it into different individual existing Selves. As each Self is an Individual World, the Selves constitute the Multiple Worlds, the Multiverse.

Knowledge is the Final End of all that Might be, it is the destination and finality towards which all beings and selves move and tend. It is sensed as Light, and it enables the Self to receive and contain within itself all that might be and that might become, to No End (infinity). It is the All World, the Omniverse.
