“Awareness is the state or ability to perceive, to feel, or to be conscious of events, objects, or sensory patterns. In this level of consciousness, sense data can be confirmed by an observer without necessarily implying understanding.”  ~ Wikipedia

At the most fundamental level, awareness seems to have the nature of disturbance. The wave-length of this disturbance is nearly infinite, and the frequency nearly zero. The period and velocity are infinite for all practical purposes.

Self-awareness at this level appears to be a light-like aura. This is a very raw level of awareness. There is no other self, soul, energy, God, etc.

Awareness and light seem to be two different aspect of some primordial phenomenon of consciousness – awareness being the spiritual, while light being the physical aspect. The spiritual and physical aspects seem to go hand in hand.

Awareness and light seem to weave together to make various phenomena, entities, objects and the universe. They cannot be separated from each other.

There is no spiritual universe separate from the physical universe. There is only a single universe. It is the superset of all that exists with their spiritual and physical aspects.

There are no spiritual entities separate from physical objects. The spirituality of objects is expressed as their properties. This is well expressed in the periodic table of elements at the atomic and molecular levels.

There is no soul that separates from the body at death. The aliveness comes from the connectedness of awareness among the atoms, molecules, and organs of the body. There is a smooth flow of awareness throughout the body that creates the live organism. When this flow ceases death occurs. The body disintegrates into parts containing their own separate awareness.

The assumption that ‘physical’ and ‘spiritual’ are two separate phenomena is in error.  Like “space-time”, we have “spiritual-physical”  as a single or relative phenomenon. Neither spirituality nor physicality is absolute in itself.

The universe is the superset of all existence.  Spiritual and physical are two different aspects that weave together into every particle and crevice of the universe. The fundamental nature of “spirtual-physical” is “awareness-light”.

Reference: A Model of Reality

The essay above defined reality as what we perceive at any moment. This reality is made up of filters (thoughts, ideas, assumptions, speculations, visualizations, etc.). The filters include what is observed, the modulation of what is observed, as well as the observer.

What is beyond the filters may be called the ultimate reality.

The Ultimate Reality is basically a starting postulate one uses to make sense out of all existence. If the reality of existence is not consistent with the starting postulate then that starting postulate is not the right one.

Abrahamic religions use a “super self” or God as the starting postulate, or ultimate reality.

Vedic religions use “neti, neti” (not this, not that) or the shedding away of all that is relative, conditioned and impermanent to define their concept of ultimate reality as “Brahma.”

Scientology uses a “Static” or “an abstract ability to postulate and to perceive” as its ultimate reality. This ability is postulated to have no mass, no motion, no wavelength, and no location in space or in time.

The postulate of Ultimate Reality is true only to the degree that it brings consistency and coherency to the understanding of all existence.

All existence seems to boil down to the fact of awareness. It is anything that one can be aware of. The belief in “God,” “Static” or “Brahma,” simply means the awareness of a starting postulate that brings consistency and coherence among all the beliefs and logic that a person uses.”

The rarest of all awareness has to be the awareness of pure disturbance. Prior to that there would be no awareness. Only a theoretical ground state may be postulated in terms of undisturbed primordial field that contains no frequency, wavelength or period.

But this ground state shall forever be unknowable and shall remain only theoretical because there is no awareness to go with it. Awareness arises only when this ground state is disturbed. The awareness then accompanies a disturbance that looks like light and which seems to be traveling through an invisible field that looks like space.

Therefore, the starting postulate of ultimate reality arrived at in KHTK is as follows:

The Ultimate Reality is an undisturbed primordial field of no frequency, wavelength or period. This primordial field produces awareness only when disturbed, and therefore it is inherently unknowable.

This is a theoretical postulate, and not something actual.
