PM Chapter 6: God without Attributes

Reference: Postulate Mechanics (PM)

The Eastern religions start with the concept of BRAHMAN. When we look up the origins of this concept, it has the sense of “to swell, expand, grow, enlarge; to make firm, strong.” It indicates an active or manifest principle, yielding the sense of an expanding, sustaining power. In the Rigveda, brahman often refers to the potent word, hymn, or sacred formula—speech endowed with a mysterious, effective power in ritual. 

Similarly, the Western religions start with the concept of GOD. The origins of GOD has the sense of “that which is invoked.” It indicates the mysterious and awe inspiring power called upon in prayer or sacrifice.

This is like getting in touch with pure awareness that resides deep within self. This is an experience that can only be felt and cannot be expressed fully. One ends up expressing this experience implicitly through a solemn utterance, an inspired poem, or a sacrificial prayer.

One can imagine the excitement our ancestors must have felt as they became increasingly conscious of the universe around them. Discoveries, one after another, must have fueled their insatiable curiosity. They must have been propelled toward solving bigger and greater mysteries.

They not only investigated outwards, but they also searched inwards to satisfy their curiosity to know.

That curiosity, excitement and the feeling of power that guided them came from deep within them. They invoked it again and again to delve into the mysteries around them.

And that power, which arose from deep within them became their god. It had no attributes.

But that God without attributes is none other than the pure awareness of the Self.

This awareness is peculiar. It is aware of the whole universe. But it does not identify with any part the universe.

Even today, the God without attributes is a power that lies deep within you. You can access it in deep contemplation and meditation. It responds to an intense longing to know. It helps resolve mysteries. 

The God without attributes cannot be expressed through words.

One only feels great awe, and is filled with praise for it.

PM Chapter 5: Oneness (Ultimate Balance)

Reference: Postulate Mechanics (PM)

The fundamental datum is:

Substantiality and Awareness are two attributes of self, and the balance between the two establishes the reality of Self. We refer to this balance as oneness.

Oneness is the consistency that is observed from one moment to the next. This consistency appears as continuity at very small scales, and as harmony at very large scales. The oneness of substantiality can be seen in a smooth spectrum of substance from thought to matter. Thus, there is oneness between the spiritual and the physical aspects of existence.

The awareness of substantiality brings to attention knowable dichotomies, such as, creator-creation, cause-effect, etc. The oneness of a dichotomy may be expressed as a gradient between the two opposite attributes. This introduces a DIMENSION between the two attributes. This dimension may be represented mathematically as a scale. For example, hot-cold is a dichotomy. When the gradient of temperature is introduced between hot and cold, it clarifies that dichotomy as a temperature scale, where hot and cold appear at the opposite ends.

When oneness exists there is clarity of reality of existence. But to the degree oneness is violated we have unreality.

Postulate Mechanics refers to violations of oneness as anomalies. An ANOMALY may take the form of a discontinuity (missing data), an inconsistency (contradictory data), or a disharmony (arbitrary data). For example, in a knowable dichotomy, such as, cause-effect, there is a missing dimension. Therefore, it is an anomaly of discontinuity. All unrealities, confusions and sufferings consist of anomalies.

An unreality, confusion or suffering of self can be eliminated only by confronting and resolving the underlying anomaly.

Liberation of self lies in the resolution of all its anomalies. As self is liberated it evolves to higher states.

The resolution of anomalies occurs through a process called ASSIMILATION. To assimilate is to “make similar.” This is done by making all the elements of an anomaly continuous, consistent and harmonious.

To assimilate, a person looks at the anomaly more closely until its exact nature is recognized. When sensations are assimilated they provide clearer perceptions. When perceptions are assimilated they provide clearer memory. When memories are assimilated they provide clearer experience. When experiences are assimilated they provide clearer knowledge. When knowledge is assimilated it results in wisdom.

To summarize, he key attributes of self are: substantiality, awareness and oneness, as described in recent chapters.

Next we look at where the self stands in relationship to God, because the thinking of most people in our civilization arises from the concept of God.

Notes and Postulates

The major concepts introduced in Chapter 5 are DIMENSION, ANOMALY and ASSIMILATION. These concepts are defined in Glossary: Postulate Mechanics.

PM Postulate 5.1: Oneness is continuity, consistency and harmony.
PM Postulate 5.2: An anomaly is a violation of oneness.
PM Postulate 5.3: Anomaly is a discontinuity, inconsistency or disharmony.
PM Postulate 5.4: A knowable dichotomy has a missing dimension (an anomaly).
PM Postulate 5.5: All unrealities, confusions and sufferings consist of anomalies.

PM Chapter 4: Awareness (Ability to Sense)

Reference: Postulate Mechanics (PM)

The moment something manifests, there is the awareness of its substantiality. Otherwise, we cannot say, “Something is there.”. On the other hand, it is only when we become aware of a substantiality that we know that something has manifested.

When there is only a single atom existing in the universe, then that atom is the whole universe; and the awareness of atom being the whole universe is there. That awareness must reside in the universe made of that atom. This leads to the conclusion that substantiality and awareness are the two fundamental dimensions of a universe that exists. 

To appreciate that something exists, there must be the ability to sense it.

Thus, awareness is the ability to sense the substantiality of something existing. When nothing exists, there is neither substantiality nor awareness.

Awareness is not the same thing as the substantiality that is being sensed. This means that awareness has no substantiality. This is like the Nirākār Brahma in Vedic religions that has no attributes.

Awareness and substantiality are two different dimensions of existence. They are in complete balance, but they do not overlap. 

This is a fundamental datum.

Misconception arises when this fundamental datum is ignored, and awareness is misconceived to have substantiality. That misconception is followed by a misperception of substantiality.

The basic confusion is between substantiality and awareness. Awareness is bound in substantiality but it is not substantial.

Awareness is about knowing, perceiving and being cognizant of phenomena and events. Awareness is there because substantial phenomena and events are there. The phenomena and events are somehow being postulated and sensed.

Who or what is postulating and sensing is unknowable. But we may surmise that,

All attributes belong to substantiality. Awareness has no attribute.

.

Notes and Postulates

The major concept introduced in Chapter 4 is the differentiation between SUBSTANTIALITY and AWARENESS, while stressing upon their ONENESS, that leads to the understanding of SELF. These concepts are defined in Glossary: Postulate Mechanics.

PM Postulate 4.1: Substantiality and awareness are co-dimensions of existence.
PM Postulate 4.2: All attributes belong to substantiality.
PM Postulate 4.3: Awareness has no attribute.
PM Postulate 4.4: Substantiality and awareness are in perfect balance.
PM Postulate 4.5: That balance is oneness.

PM Chapter 3: Substantiality (Existence)

Reference: Postulate Mechanics (PM)

Substantiality is an important aspect of Self. When something is substantial, it means that it exists and it can be sensed. Therefore, anything substantial is made of substance. 

If self is substantial, then it has to be made of substance.

Generally substance is identified as matter, but substance is more than just matter. Einstein famously showed radiative energy to be equivalent to matter with his equation, E = mc2. Experiments have shown further that the light from the sun can push a large sail in outer space. Thus, we may place radiation also in the category of substance.

When we think of a rose, and we get a picture of a rose. Obviously, this mental image picture exists and it is being sensed; and so it is substantial. A mental image picture has to be made of substance.

Since mind only senses thought, a mental image picture must be made of thought. Therefore, thought can also be viewed as a substance. This is not acknowledged by science; and we shall look at this shortcoming of science in a later chapter.

In Postulate Mechanics, we divide the substance of universe into three categories: 

  1. Matter
  2. Radiation
  3. Thought

Substance has consistency—a degree of density, firmness, viscosity, etc. When the substance is matter, we refer to its consistency as “mass.” Matter has a “spectrum” based on the mass of its atoms. This spectrum is presented as the Periodic Table. We are very familiar with matter. Our body is made of matter, whose mass we feel as weight. 

When the substance is radiation we refer to its consistency in terms of “frequency.” Radiation has an Electromagnetic Spectrum based on the frequency of its quanta. The consistency of radiation is high when its frequency is high. Our body generates heat, which is a form of radiation. Light is also a radiation, which forms our vision.

Thought as a substance has consistency of a very different type. We may refer to the consistency of thought in terms of the “gravity” of its consequences. Thought does affect the body and its functions, as well as the functions that body carries out. Thought can have a spectrum too based on the gravity of its consequences. The consistency of thought is high when its gravity is high. 

Matter and Radiation are considered to be physical substances. The spectrum of matter may be placed above the Electromagnetic Spectrum of radiation.

Thought, which includes postulates, is considered to be a spiritual substance. The spectrum of thought may be placed below the Electromagnetic Spectrum of radiation. The spectrum of thought is yet to be researched fully.

We may say that the Substantiality of Self covers the whole spectrum from thought to radiation to matter. This substantiality may also be expressed in terms of motion. Thought is said to move much faster than radiation. Radiation is known to move must faster than matter. 

.

Notes and Postulates

The major concepts introduced in Chapter 3 are SUBSTANCE, MATTER, RADIATION, THOUGHT, CONSISTENCY and MOTION. These concepts are defined in Glossary: Postulate Mechanics.

PM Postulate 3.1: The postulate of the substantiality of self appears as substance.
PM Postulate 3.2: The substance has a spectrum from thought to matter.
PM Postulate 3.3: Matter is most concentrated and thought is the least.
PM Postulate 3.4: Matter has the least motion and thought has the most.
PM Postulate 3.5: Matter and radiation are physical; thought is spiritual.

PM Chapter 2: Postulate of Self

Reference: Postulate Mechanics (PM)

The ever present ingredients of the universe are unknowable until they are sensed and known by means of the most intimate of postulates possible. These postulates are inherent to all parts of the universe. They are inherent to us in the most developed form.

The Vedic religions describe these inherent postulates as “sat-chit-ananda”. We may translate this in modern vocabulary as follows:

Self:
Sat = Substantiality (existence)
Chit = Awareness (ability to sense existence)
Ananda = Oneness (ultimate balance)

Definition:
Oneness = assimilation of the sense of existence = continuity, consistency and harmony

The intimate nature of these postulates forms the very definition of self. In other words, self is substantial, aware and infused with oneness. There is a profound sense of interconnectedness, love, and beauty, where the observer and observed become one. This awareness is experienced beneath thought, acting as a direct knowing that all life is woven into a single, cohesive fabric. The “oneness” does not mean  sameness. “Oneness” means continuity, consistency and harmony. 

The Self of the universe, and the self of the human form is one.

The natural affinity that we feel towards one another is the oneness of self. It is this oneness that is serenaded as love. The oneness characterizes our communications, and our realities.

The postulates that we make spring forth from the self as it senses the universe. There is a natural effort to maintain oneness among all postulates. Considerations ensue but they also are part of this oneness. 

As sensations change, the postulates and considerations also change. Actually, this universe is very dynamic in nature. But its essence, which is “Sat-Chit-Ananda” (substantiality, awareness and oneness), always remains. 

This self is ever present even when buried under misconceptions and confusions.

The next chapter shall look at the inherent postulate of substantiality (sat) that makes up the self.

.

Notes and Postulates

The major concepts introduced in Chapter 2 are SUBSTANTIALITY, AWARENESS, ONENESS, and SELF. These concepts are defined in Glossary: Postulate Mechanics.

PM Postulate 2.1: The core ingredients of the universe are ever present.
PM Postulate 2.2: They manifest as substantiality, awareness and oneness.
PM Postulate 2.3: The source of these postulates is unknowable.
PM Postulate 2.4: These postulates are inherent to each one of us as self .
PM Postulate 2.5: Each self can continue to postulate its own universe further.
PM Postulate 2.6: There is no single creator of the universe.
