Reference: Postulate Mechanics (PM)

ONENESS is assimilating the substantiality of the universe to a state of knowingness.

The assimilation establishes a harmony. The harmony establishes a consistency. And, consistency establishes a continuity. The harmony, consistency and continuity of substantiality makes the confusion disappear and brings about the clarity of knowingness. This is the essence of oneness.

The oneness of substantiality can be seen in a smooth spectrum of substance from matter to radiation to thought. This oneness can also be seen in the continuum of reality from physical to spiritual. This is like the continuum of temperature from hot to cold.

When the sense of oneness is violated, lack of clarity and confusion appears in the form of unreality.

When oneness exists the reality is very clear. But to the degree oneness is violated we have unreality.

Postulate Mechanics refers to violations of oneness as anomalies.

Anomalies

The identification and misconceptions mention in the previous chapter are anomalies, because they violate the sense of oneness and the clarity of knowingness.

An ANOMALY takes the form of a disharmony (arbitrary data), an inconsistency (contradictory data), or a discontinuity (missing data). For example, from physical reality to spiritual reality there is a continuum of physical reality gradually transforming into the spiritual reality. Therefore, just looking at the dichotomy physical-spiritual, we find that there is a dimension missing. This is the anomaly of discontinuity (missing data). All knowable dichotomies, such as, creator-creation and cause-effect, suffer from the anomaly of discontinuity.

All unrealities, confusions and sufferings contain anomalies.

Resolving Anomalies

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 harmonious, consistent and continuous.

To assimilate, a person looks at the anomaly more closely. There is no figure-figure as in worry. There is simply a concentrated focus as in contemplation and meditation. If there is any thinking, it is only to determine where to look. The key to the resolution of anomaly is looking. One looks closely at the anomaly, and still more closely until it resolves.

Resolution of an anomaly depends on looking, and not on thinking.

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 the wisdom of knowingness.

Liberation of Self

Self is the awareness postulate that is part of the very basis of the universe.

Liberation of self lies in the resolution of anomalies, such as, misconceptions and identifications. Enlightenment occurs when all anomalies of self are resolved. Upon enlightenment, the self evolves to a higher state of knowingness that determines the future evolution itself.

Self is the awareness of the universe that is liberated and enlightened upon the resolution of anomalies.

Considerations

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

1. Oneness is harmony, consistency and continuity of the universe.
2. A violation of oneness produces anomalies.
3. Anomaly forms as disharmony, inconsistency or discontinuity.
4. All unrealities, confusions and sufferings contain anomalies.
5. Self is the awareness aspect of the basic postulates.
6. Liberation of self lies in the resolution of anomalies.
7. Enlightenment occurs when all anomalies are resolved.
