Postulates

PS 31: The postulate SUBSTANCE-AWARENESS-ONENESS applies equally to divine and to earthly.

1. The divine has substance, same as earthly.
2. The divine can be sensed, same as earthly.
3. The divine is subject to oneness, same as earthly.

PS 32: The divine is basically wondrous and unknowable.

1. This is expressed as God being ineffable or inexpressible.
2. The various deities initially were attempts to understand the powers in nature.

PS 33: The monotheistic God is a postulated identity to which various attributes are assigned.

1. The monotheistic God is basically a thought form installed as the Creator of the World.
2. Different attributes assigned to God has given rise to different religions.
3. Conflict among religions confirm that the monotheistic God is basically a postulated identity.

PS 34: Omnipotence refers to the power to give form to substance.

1. Omnipotence is the basic ability to postulate.
2. All creation amounts to postulating changes to the form of substance.

PS 35: Omniscience refers to the power to know everything.

1. Omniscience is the basic ability to become conscious.
2. Consciousness arises as awareness falls on thought forms.

PS 36: Omnipresence refers to the power to be everywhere at the same time.

1. Omnipresence is the infinite extent and duration of substance.
2. There is no space and time in the absence of substance.

PS 37: Identity as Creator is derived from the idea of omnipotence.

1. God as Creator basically describes an identity.
2. God is postulated as the “Cause” and the world as its “effect.”

PS 38: Monotheism presents God as the only Creator.

1. Monotheism thus implies the oneness of the created universe.
2. This oneness may be described as harmony, consistency and continuity.

PS 39: Holy refers to the sense of ideal attached to the divine.

1. Holiness is the divine outlining the ideal and true conditions.

PS 40: God is an authority because it is seen as the arbiter of truth.

1. The criterion of truth lies in the oneness of the universe.
2. A thing is true to the degree it is harmonious, consistent and continuous.

PS 41: “Image of God” implies a reflection of the postulates in Man.

1. The ideal expression of these foundational postulates is found in God.
2. Man has the potential of measuring up to these postulates.

PS 42: God is a postulated identity; but Man presents an actual identity.

1. A person has actual substance, awareness and oneness.

PS 43: The identity of Man consists of thought, energy and matter.

1. The material part of this identity is referred to as BODY.
2. The energetic part of this identity is referred to as MIND.
3. The thoughtful part of this identity is referred to as SPIRIT.

PS 44: Man is capable of sensing his own identity.

1. Man has some awareness of his body, mind and spirit.
2. Man is not totally aware; but he has the capability to be totally aware.

PS 45: Man’s total awareness of his identity will make him equivalent to God.

1. This consideration is blasphemous in Abrahamic religions.
2. But this consideration is the basic driver in Vedic religions.
