The Is of Is

 

 

 Humans have long wonder what existence is and what exists beyond whatever is is. In the natural philosophy the question pops in the form of the question of  what the ultimate cause of cause and effect is. In logic the question remains in the form of what the set of all sets of things might be. We still wonder what conscious might in whatever is might be. We conjure up the concept of infinity -- an end without end -- as attribute of is. We probe what we can observe of is only to find that as the forms the physical is get smaller and smaller until we have Higgs bosons popping in and out of the physical is of a quantum field which exists as an infinity of points in space.

But is is an infinite number of entities that exist or is is a single entity that exists? Is is and thing unto  itself to the exclusion of anything beyond else? Is there no "out there" of is as oppose to a singular "in here" of is?

I postulate that is is a singular entity that I call the Ultimate  Supreme Being that is the totality of is and beyond which nothing exists. Indeed, it is entity for which "nothing" does not exist at all. Is is a thing unto itself. And, we and all that we can experience is an integral part of it and it is an integral part of us and what we experience. It is pantheism with a god named "is".

But, without exception, like all forms of philosophical thoughtincluding my concept of a Ultimate Supreme Being always require a starting point that is a postulation, a speculation, and assertion, none of which have ever been proven to be a truth. They all begin with an unsubstantiated and likely without a provable belief.

And that is also a part of is. Indeed, what mirror beyond itself does is have to observe its totality? And we are  left to observe its totality as a shadow on the wall of the cave in which we live.
