KHTK Axioms: A Work in Progress #2

[The following axioms are not firmed up yet. Do not pay attention to an axiom until it is numbered.]

.

KHTK AXIOM _: SPACE IS THE CONSIDERATION OF MANIFESTATION.

The consideration of a manifestation may be visualized as a field, or an expanse, made up of points or locations. Each point is recognized by the consideration attached to it. This expanse of points is limited by consideration only.

The consideration at some point may acquire the dimension of being a reference. That point then becomes a viewpoint from which other points may be viewed or considered.

The manifestation is then being considered through this viewpoint, rather than simply being considered. This gives us space. Space is represented by dimensions. A dimension is a perceivable aspect of space that gives it quality and quantity.

When a certain aspect of a manifestation is being used as a reference to perceive the manifestation itself, we have a filter.

Mathematical dimensions of space may be represented as follows:

  1. A location may be represented by a non-dimensional POINT.
  2. A path traced by a moving point may be represented by a one-dimensional LINE.
  3. A path traced by a moving line may be represented by a two-dimensional SURFACE.
  4. A path traced by a moving surface may be represented by a three-dimensional BLOCK.

The three independent directions in space are three different aspects of measuring space quantitatively. They are independent of each other in the sense that they cannot be projected on each other.

KHTK AXIOM ___: PURE CONSIDERATIONS MANIFEST THEMSELVES AS SELF (A BEING). 

.

KHTK AXIOM ___: AWARENESS OF SELF DEPENDS ON ITS CONSIDERATION.

.

KHTK AXIOM ___: SELF BECOMES LESS AWARE BY HIDING ITS CONSIDERATIONS.

.

KHTK AXIOM ___KNOWLEDGE CONSISTS OF SPACE, ENERGY, MATTER AND TIME.

Definition: Space, energy, matter and time may be regarded as the physical aspects of the universe.

A beingness imposes a distinct awareness of itself in terms of its scope, extent or dimension. This overall sense of beingness may be referred to as SPACE.

Shifts may occur  within beingness. These shifts propagate throughout the beingness resulting in evolution. The sense of this propagation may be referred to as ENERGY.

Through evolution, beingness may acquire relatively static structure at certain locations in space. This structure may give a recognizable form to that beingness. This sense of definiteness of form may be referred to as MATTER.

Space-energy-matter may continue to evolve throughout the cycle of beingness from beginning to end. This sense of persistence and continuous evolution of beingness may be referred to as TIME.

.

KHTK AXIOM ___: A LOCATION MAY SHIFT AND EVOLVE INTO GREATER COMPLEXITY.

The considerations at any location may shift and evolve into more complex considerations.

.

KHTK AXIOM ___: VIEWPOINT EVOLVES AS THE CONSIDERATION OF PERCEPTION IS ADDED AT A POINT IN SPACE .

.

KHTK AXIOM ___: A LOCATION WITH UNIQUE CONSIDERATIONS IS INDIVIDUAL.

.

KHTK AXIOM ___: ENERGY IS A SHIFT PROPAGATING  THROUGH SPACE.

Shifts may occur  within beingness. These shifts propagate throughout the beingness resulting in evolution. The sense of this propagation may be referred to as ENERGY.

.

KHTK AXIOM ___: MASS MAY RESULT FROM CONDENSATION OF ENERGY.

Mass is the property of a fundamental particle in Nuclear Physics. A complex combination of such particles creates the atom. Atoms acquire increasing complexity as covered in the periodic table. Different combinations of atoms then creates uncountable variations of matter.

.

KHTK AXIOM  ___TIME IS TRACKING OF THE CONTINUAL EVOLUTION OF SPACE, ENERGY AND MATTER.

Space-energy-matter may continue to evolve throughout the cycle of beingness from beginning to end. This sense of persistence and continuous evolution of beingness may be referred to as TIME.

.

KHTK AXIOM ___: TRUTH IS THE RECOGNITION OF WHAT IS.

.

KHTK Axiom Five

manifested consideration

KHTK AXIOM FIVE: ABSENCE OF MANIFESTATION GIVES RISE TO MANIFESTATION.

When one is faced by some unknown there are always questions that arise, and speculations that follow. These considerations then seem to shape our ideas about the unknown. One does not rest until there is some kind of verification or consistency in one’s understanding about that unknown.

The “unknown,” essentially, is a gaping hole in one’s understanding. Something is missing that could be identifiable. What then follows is an effort to identify what is missing.

Thus, a lack of integrity in understanding appears to be an unstable condition like vacuum. It is immediately filled by questions, speculations, conjectures, etc. These all are manifestation of considerations that are trying to account for the missing manifestation

Considerations, such as, questions, speculations, conjectures, etc., are manifested when faced with unmanifested unknown.

KHTK Axiom Six

KHTK AXIOM SIX: A MANIFESTATION CONSISTS OF BEINGNESS AND AWARENESS.

The fact of existing may be referred to by the term BEINGNESS. The fact that beingness is established by perceiving may be referred to by the term AWARENESS.

Both beingness and awareness are aspects of existence.

Awareness does not exist independent of beingness. Nor does beingness exist independent of Awareness.

KHTK Axiom Four

KHTK AXIOM FOUR: EXISTENCE IS WHAT IS WITHOUT ANY FURTHER QUALIFICATION.

The proper way to understand existence would then be to stop speculating about it because speculations create filters that qualify existence.

We should start recognizing and eliminating  the filters created by speculations, assumptions and justifications that have already been injected. The understanding of existence would increase as filters are reduced.

Thus, we have the formula recommended by Buddha:

Observe things as they are, not as they seem to be. 

You don’t know what is actually there as long as there are inconsistencies present.

Reference: Inconsistency & Looking

KHTK Axiom Three

KHTK AXIOM THREE: ANYTHING THAT CAN BE PERCEIVED IS MANIFESTED.

There is no clear consensus on the nature of God.

Judaism, Christianity and Islam see God as a being who created the world and who rules over the universe. God is usually held to have the properties of holiness, justice, sovereignty, omnipotence, omniscience, benevolence, omnipresence, and immortality.

God is also believed to be transcendent, meaning that God is outside space and time.

As long as God is perceived to be a being with certain properties, then God is also part of existence. God that is “unknowable” may not be part of existence.
