Abstract
This essay encompasses a “pataphysical philosophy”, primarily based on personal spiritual imaginations, although elements of science and religion are also included, when needed. In our work, the concept of pataphysics as “science or philosophy of imaginary solutions” is taken seriously and even redefined if desired to reach our aims. In our imagination, we penetrated Heaven to look what is going on there. We discovered that Heaven (a Spiritual Singularity!) is the only real(!) Reality; all other so-called realities, both spiritual and physical, are virtual(!) and as such included in Heaven. “All there is” originates from Heaven and fully takes place in Heaven! We discovered in Heaven the substantial Entities “AllSoul”, “AllSpirit” (or “All-Embracing Plan”), “AllReality” and “AllGod”, which all are equal but distinguishable; they contain the ingredients needed for the realization of virtual worlds. We discovered that lower-order aspects of the mentioned Entities on lower levels of Consciousness are determinative for, among others, the “virtual physical world” and ultimately our (illusorily-real) “human-experienced physical world”; specifically, lower-order aspects of the AllGod are determinative for the (illusorily-real) spiritual Beings (think for instance of Angels) and (illusorily-real) human beings. We discovered that all spiritual and physical worlds are essentially Consciousness (Soul Experience), and on a still more fundamental level “Divine Spirit”. “All there is”, and absolutely “all there is”, is subject to infinity, eternity, immutability, and oneness, which we regard as elements of the absolute Truth. We consider in the essay also illustrations of the Hermetic Principle “As above, so below” with regard to our theory, for example the “Big Bang” regarded as “look-alike physical interpretation” of Heaven. Last but not least, we consider the amazing role of not less than 15 really experienced and provable Synchronicities (meaningful coincidences, originally described and popularized by the psychologist Carl Jung), all directly related to our philosophy, specifically to the so-called eternal “Process of Emanation (of Souls)” and “Process of Consciousness (based on the emanated Souls)”, which both make part of the key issues of our pataphysical philosophy. The infinite set of emanated, in each other’s integrated, Souls could be seen as the “neurons” of a divine brain, in which Consciousness is built up (through the “Process of Consciousness”) to Infinite Consciousness (or AllSoul).
