Provisional(!) extended summarizing conclusions of an essay in preparation

“A REDISCOVERY OF HEAVEN”

 

 “Is our physical world a Soul-experienced virtual reality?” is the subject of this essay. In the first instance, one could question whether our physical world is a simulation or virtual reality at all (omitting “Soul-experienced”). We realize that the simulation hypothesis doesn’t arrive at a falsifiable prediction. But we have already computers running all kinds of sophisticated simulations. Also, the progress of AI and the increasingly more powerful computers in our modern society enable and foster virtual and real reality more and more to intertwine; extending this tendency makes physical reality as a simulation continually more thinkable.   Our working procedure is to assume in advance that our physical world is a virtual reality and then, based on this assumption, discuss that our physical world as a Soul-experienced virtual reality could well be conceivable.

Our philosophy is a kind of post-materialist theory, telling us in its most ultimate shape that our physical world is not based on matter but on experience. In our case, Experience of the eternal and immutable Soul. In the following, we present point by point the concluding mainlines of our philosophy.

  1. “All there is” (spiritual or physical, such as our immense universe) originates from an eternal, immutable, and infinitely compressed “Spiritual Singularity” (could also be indicated as “Heaven”!) and fully(!) takes place in this Spiritual Singularity.

 

  1. The “Spiritual Singularity” can be imagined as a “point” of Consciousness of infinite density/intensity and infinite depth; in other words, a point of infinite Consciousness.

 

  1. All so-called “realities” are virtual(!), except the “Spiritual Singularity” which is the only real(!) Reality. Through its four included substantial Entities, namely the “AllSoul” (Infinite Consciousness), “AllSpirit” (“All-Embracing Plan”), and the “AllReality” with its inner Experiencer the “AllGod”, it indeed possesses the “ingredients” needed for the “eternal realization” of all virtual spiritual Realities and virtual physical realities.

 

  1. The four Entities in the Spiritual Singularity”, are equal(!) but distinguishable in their meaning. Similar to the “Spiritual Singularity”, its constituent Entities are each real, eternal, and immutable.  

 

  1. The relational cohesion between the four Entities in the “Spiritual Singularity” can be pointed out as follows: the “AllSoul” experiences the “All-Embracing Plan” (or “AllSpirit) as “AllReality” (including its inner Experiencer, the “AllGod”).

 

  1. The “AllGod” is the inner Experiencer of but also equal to the “AllReality”. We consider the AllGod therefore as the extreme extension of the God of Baruch Spinoza. Moreover, the AllGod reflects the Divine Trinity {AllSoul, AllSpirit, AllReality}.  

 

  1. The “AllSpirit” (or “All-Embracing Plan”) is the most fundamental of the four constituent Entities in the “Spiritual Singularity”. The All-Embracing Plan is an infinite set of spiritual relations: “top-down spiritual relations” (as regards the virtual spiritual(!) Reality) and an infinite set of corresponding "bottom-up spiritual relations” (as regards the virtual physical(!) reality).

 

  1. Everything, be it spiritual or physical, is in its deepest essence Spirit, and based on the aforementioned spiritual realities. Because of the equality of AllSoul, AllSpirit, AllReality, and AllGod, they all are represented by the same set of spiritual relations with however distinguishable meanings.

 

 

  1. Rules and laws in the virtual physical(!) reality, such as physical and evolutionary, have their conceptual origin in the switching from top-down to corresponding bottom-up spiritual relations, in other words from spiritual to physical. The virtual spiritual(!) Reality is thought to be ruleless and lawless.

 

  1. Through an eternal (timeless) “Process of Emanation”, the AllSoul diverges in infinitely many mutually integrated “aspects of Consciousness” (called “Souls”), with a trend of a continually decreasing level of Consciousness. The phrase “eternal process” might be confusing; in our philosophy, it reflects a “state of eternal immutable being”, which has always been and always will be, without beginning and without end. Also the term “integrated aspect” needs a clarification. In our theory, “B is an aspect of A" means that A “sees” itself or is seen on another level than B; so, B is A, but on another level; B is integrated in A, or A integrates B.

 

  1. The Soul as an integrated aspect of the real, eternal, and immutable AllSoul, is also real, eternal, and immutable. The eternal Soul Experience (Consciousness) represents a “state of eternal immutable being”, just like the “Process of Emanation”.

 

  1. All mentioned Entities in the Spiritual Singularity have “lower-order aspects”. A lower-order aspect of the AllSoul is called “Soul”, a lower-order aspect of the AllSpirit (Al-Embracing Plan) is called “Spirit” (“Plan”), a lower-order aspect of the AllReality is called “virtual spiritual Reality” or “virtual physical reality”, and a lower-order aspect of the AllGod is called “virtual God”.

 

 

  1. We define a Soul (a lower-order aspect of the “AllSoul”) as an Experience of a correlated Plan (a lower-order aspect of the “All-Embracing Plan”) as if(!) this Plan, consisting of top-down or bottom-up spiritual relations, is respectively virtual spiritual Reality or virtual physical reality (lower-order aspects of the “AllReality”). So, both the virtual spiritual Reality and virtual physical reality are essentially Soul Experience (Consciousness). Formally, we could speak of “Soul-experienced virtual spiritual Reality” and “Soul-experienced virtual physical reality”, but in the text we simply use the terms “virtual spiritual Reality” and “virtual physical reality”.

 

  1. Since in the “Spiritual Singularity” the Entities “AllSoul”, “AllSpirit”, “AllReality” and “AllGod” are fully equal, we assume their lower-order aspects being correlated. For instance, as an illustrative example, the Soul experiences its correlated Plan as its correlated virtual physical reality; in other words, any Soul experiences its belonging dedicated Plan as its belonging dedicated virtual physical reality.

 

  1. We regard the emanated Souls as the “neurons of a Divine Brain” in which, through an eternal (timeless) “Process of Consciousness”, Consciousness is built up to Infinite Consciousness (AllSoul). Although the same “state of eternal immutable being”, the “Process of Consciousness” is in its meaning the reverse of the “Process of Emanation”.

 

  1. A threatening stagnation locally in the very initial phase of the “Process of Consciousness”, due to the Soul’s insufficient 4-dimensional Consciousness at this extremely low level of Consciousness, forces the Soul to take a side road in the “Process of Consciousness”. On the side road, the Soul Experience concerns a virtual (sequential) physical(!) reality, in contrast to a virtual (parallel) spiritual(!) Reality experienced on the main road of the “Process of Consciousness”. In the first instance, one could think that the Soul transits from the main road to the side road. However, because of the Soul’s eternity and immutability, the Soul is already and has always been on the side road; actually, it is on both the main and side road, for all eternity, without beginning and without end.

 

  1. So, related to the Soul concerned, an eternal “virtual physical(!) reality” (on the side road) exists in addition to an eternal “virtual spiritual(!) Reality” (on the main road). The aim is that the eternal Soul Experience on the side road should enable an eternal avoidance of stagnation and eternal gaining of a little (more) 4-dimensional Consciousness (locally) on the main road of the “Process of Consciousness”. (The underlying mechanism is discussed further on in the text, in the conclusion point starting with //.)

 

  1. The “virtual spiritual(!) Reality” and “virtual physical(!) reality” encompass a belonging “Soul-experienced virtual Being”, called respectively “virtual spiritual Being” and “virtual human being”. As Soul Experience, these virtual beings can ultimately see their virtual world and virtual themselves illusorily(!) as objectively real. In their illusorily real shape, the beings are called “illusory spiritual Being” and “illusory human being”.

 

  1. In our philosophy, the “virtual spiritual Being” and “virtual human being” are actually lower-order virtual aspects of the real AllGod as Experiencer of the real AllReality (“virtual Gods”)! Consequently, the “illusory spiritual Being” and “illusory human being” are actually “illusory Gods” in their respective illusory worlds!!

 

  1. Instead of the “illusory physical reality” with “illusory human being”, for more clarity we speak in this essay of a “human-experienced physical reality”, that we humans illusorily(!) experience as objectively real. This is the physical world in which we humans feel to be born, to live (with joy and sadness), to think, to have our ideas and emotions, and to die. Perhaps redundant, we emphasize again that the “human-experienced physical reality” is essentially based on and arise from the “virtual(!) physical reality”. (Note: we make a clear distinction between “virtual” and “illusory”; the illusorily real human has the internal doubtless feeling to live in an objectively-real world, without having the slightest idea that actually his/her world is virtual.)

 

  1. So, the “human-experienced physical reality” is an illusion. It is not materialistic and not based on matter (as we humans think it is), but based on Soul Experience (Consciousness) and at a still deeper level on Divine Spirit! We should emphasize here that this “Soul Consciousness” doesn’t only reflect quantitative aspects (dominated by arithmetic numbers) but also qualitative aspects, such as feelings of good, bad, beautiful, ugly, smelling nice, tasting good, etc.

 

  1. // An intriguing question is what the mechanism is behind the avoidance of stagnation locally on the main road of the “Process of Consciousness”, due to the Soul’s eternal presence on both the main and side road. On the side road, the Soul experiences its corresponding virtual human in a virtual physical(!) reality, and ultimately its corresponding illusorily real human in a “human-experienced physical reality”. At the human’s death in this “human-experienced physical world”, a Soul’s retrospection of the finished human life (with time and space omitted) provides exactly the information that in the “virtual spiritual(!) reality” avoids the stagnation locally on the main road of the “Process of Consciousness”. Moreover, the Soul gains a little (more) 4-dimensional Consciousness locally on the main road of the “Process of Consciousness”.

 

  1. We consider the described retrospection mechanism, in combination with the “virtual physical(!) reality” and its inseparably linked “human-experienced physical(!) reality”, as a strict condition for the eternal “Process of Consciousness” and the eternal “Spiritual Singularity” (in other words, for “all there is”). This also may clarify the very purpose and the “why” of us humans.

 

  1. Because of the eternity of the Soul, the mechanism for stagnation avoidance on the main road of the “Process of Consciousness” (after all, a Soul Experience!) is eternal. In other words, the Soul’s retrospection of the corresponding human life, and therefore also the avoidance of local stagnation and the local gaining of a little more 4-dimensional Consciousness, are eternal. They have always been and always will be, without beginning and without end.

 

  1. Thee above meant locality on the main road of the “Process of Consciousness” concerns the very initial phase of this “Process of Consciousness”. Further on in the text, in the conclusion point starting with ///, we explain that from this initial phase on, upwards along the “Process of Consciousness”, the side road and retrospection procedure is repeated many times in order to cover the entire side road.

 

  1. The information gained by the Soul-experienced retrospection of the human life in the “human-experienced physical(!) reality” (on the side road) is “injected” (through the same Soul!) into the “illusory spiritual(!) Reality”, which in analogy with the “human-experimented physical(!) reality” is called “Spiritual-Being-experienced spiritual(!) Reality” (on the main road). Both this “Spiritual-Being-experienced spiritual(!) Reality” and corresponding “human-experimented physical(!) reality”, as well as their “illusory spiritual Being” and “illusory human being” are each other’s counterparts. The “illusory spiritual Being” concerned is in our theory called the “illusory Astral Being” (in an “Astral-Being-experienced spiritual(!) Reality”).   

 

  1. So, the “human being” and corresponding “Astral Being” are each other’s counterparts! The Soul experiences its corresponding human being in his/her “human-experienced physical reality” (on the side road of the “Process of Consciousness”), but also its corresponding “Astral Being” in the “Astral-Being-experienced spiritual Reality” (on the main road of the “Process of Consciousness”). The “Astral Being” is of course not experienced in the “human-experienced physical reality”. The “human being” is doomed to die in his (illusorily real) physical reality, whereas the “astral Being” is eternal in its (illusorily real) spiritual Reality! (Further on in the text, we will discuss that in a way also the human being and its “human-experienced physical reality” are eternal, as strange as this sounds at this place!)

 

  1. We repeat our earlier statement (see C6) that the “virtual physical reality” and so the “human-experienced physical reality” are based on “bottom-up spiritual relations”, which in our theory are assumed to be subdivided into layers of “bottom-up spiritual relations”. Compare this with software relations in computer programs.

 

  1. The upper layer of “bottom-up spiritual relations” is the most relevant and important. Imposed by the All-Embracing Plan, in this layer the bottom-up spiritual relations are interpreted in the Soul as physical relations. The upper layer contains the bottom-up spiritual relations that determine the “human-experienced physical reality” in the human-experienced past, present, and future.

 

  1. The lower layers (each of which has its impact on the layers higher up and finally on the upper layer!) contain the spiritual relations that, through their impact in the upper layer, determine the human-experienced (theoretical and material) physical findings about an evolutionary past. However, the “human-experienced physical reality” is an illusion, and its evolution is an illusion within this illusion of physical reality.

 

  1. Importantly, in all layers of bottom-up spiritual relations many so-called “black spiritual relations” are present. Black spiritual relations are relations that are not yet interpreted in the Soul to be physically manifest in the upper layer (because of the still too-low level of Consciousness). As the level of Consciousness along the eternal “Process of Consciousness” grows (i.e., as we consider higher and higher levels in the “eternal state of being”, which the “Process of Consciousness” actually is!), more and more black spiritual relations become white (this could be seen as an eternal process of whitening black bottom-up spiritual relations upwards along the “Process of Consciousness”).

 

  1. As a consequence of increasing Consciousness upwards along the “Process of Consciousness”, the resulting whitening of black bottom-up spiritual relations is the actual mechanism through which in the “human-experienced physical world” over time more and more scientific insight (theoretical and experimental) is gained about our physical world and its evolutionary past. In this respect, we could comparatively think of the scientifically assumed existence of “black matter” and “black energy”, which essentially are physical interpretations of “black spiritual relations”.

 

  1. Speaking of “scientific”, science and scientific research are regarded in our philosophy as the Soul Experience of investigating bottom-up spiritual relations in their physical meaning, especially those in the lower and lowest layers (which manifest themselves physically to us humans, in particular the scientists, in the upper layer). In this respect, we repeat once again that the bottom-up spiritual relations on the side road of the “Process of Consciousness” are interpreted in the Soul (and so by the humans in the illusory “human-experienced physical reality”) in the upper layer as physical relations.

 

  1. We are personally convinced that the mysterious conceptual origin of “life” and “consciousness” (experience) shall never be fully understood and explained in science; in our opinion, it is beyond the scope of science! Human pataphysical imagination might provide a possibility to gain some insight into these mysteries. In our philosophy, “life” and “consciousness” originate conceptually from respectively the AllSpirit (All-Embracing Plan) and AllSoul (Infinite Consciousness) in the “Spiritual Singularity”. (The AllSoul experiences the All-Embracing Plan; this All-Embracing Plan includes inherently the capacity(!) to be experienced. This could well be the essential conceptual origin of “life”, we think. The capacity to experience the Plan --an aspect of the All-Embracing Plan-- originates essentially from the AllSpirit, and the actual experience of the Plan from the AllSoul.)

 

  1. Before the humans (we mean here the “civilization men”, for we don’t believe in a divine manifestation in lower-order humanoids) there was, of course, no “human-experienced physical reality”. That we nevertheless find and have found for instance skeletons of dinosaurs, is explained by the consistent impact of the concerning lower-layer bottom-up spiritual relations on spiritual relations in the upper layer. In the “human-experienced physical reality”, this makes us humans believe and take for sure that indeed dinosaurs have lived in the far evolutionary past, and makes us find their skeletons as well (a result of the whitening of certain dark spiritual relations in lower layers and its (whitening) effect in the upper layer, provided the Soul’s Consciousness has the sufficient level).

 

  1. As having been said, the “human-experienced physical reality” is an illusion. Based on the oldest human civilization (Sumerian civilization), we estimate the age of the “human-experienced physical reality” at about 6000 years (this corresponds with biblical statements).  The evolution(!) of the “human-experienced physical reality” is an illusion within the illusion of this physical reality; based on science (in our theory the Soul’s investigation of among others the lowest bottom-up spiritual relations in their physical meaning), its beginning was 13.8 billion years ago.

 

  1. /// The missing of sufficient 4-dimensional Consciousness of the Soul, in the very initial phase of the “Process of Consciousness”, was our reason to introduce a side road of the “Process of Consciousness” in order to avoid local stagnation on the main road Upwards along the eternal “Process of Consciousness”, the eternal “side road and retrospection procedure” is repeated again and again, many times. As a consequence, upwards along the main road of the “Process of Consciousness” the 4-dimensional Consciousness of the Soul grows continually, up to the level that the side road is not needed anymore. Above this level of Consciousness, there is no “virtual physical reality” and therefore no “human-experienced physical reality” anymore. In the first instance, one could think of the end of the “human-experienced physical reality” and the disappearance of human-experienced physical time.  In the next point of conclusion is made clear that there is no question of an end.

 

  1. The “virtual physical reality”, and so the illusory “human-experienced physical reality”, is eternal (of course in the appropriate range of levels of Consciousness, where the side road is still needed). The question now is, how must eternity be understood in the case of a time-bound “human-experienced physical reality”? Because of the cohesion between Souls and therefore time-bound cohesion between the humans of the whole humanity in the whole “human-experienced physical reality” (as Soul Experience both mentioned kinds of cohesion are eternal), eternity has in this case the meaning that the whole time-bound “human-experienced physical reality” starts all over again. This is repeated again and again, for all eternity, without beginning and without end.

 

  1. We speak of an eternally ongoing sequence of “cycles of existence” of the “human-experienced physical reality”. The life that we humans live now has already been lived infinitely many times in previous “cycles of existence” and still will be lived infinitely times more; each time exactly the same life in exactly the same physical circumstances because of the immutability of Soul and corresponding Plan. (Note: the “cycles of existence” should not be confused with assumed (but in our theory non-existent) reincarnations of Souls; any “cycle of existence” contains many incarnations of many Souls.)

 

 

  1. The human has obviously an essential role in the “side road and retrospection procedure” and so in the eternal stagnation avoidance on the main road of the eternal “Process of Consciousness”. During the life of a “human being” in the “human-experienced physical reality”, the Soul Experience of this human life overrules the Soul Experience (in the same Soul!) of the corresponding counterpart “Astral Being” in the “Astral-Being-experienced spiritual Reality”.  With the death of the human in the “human-experienced physical reality”, the period of “overruling” is over and  the Soul Experience of the “Astral Being” is now dominant. The period of “overruling” is characterized by what we could call “the Soul’s incarnation and excarnation”. This all happens in any “cycle of existence” of the “human-experienced physical reality" and is an eternal and immutable Experience of the Soul concerned!

 

  1. The above conclusion point might give an answer to the question “what happens after the human’s death in the “human-experienced physical reality”? As said, the Soul experiences then the corresponding “Astral Being” in the “Astral-Being experienced spiritual Reality”. The restrictions of and suffering in the “human-experienced physical reality” aren’t experienced anymore in the Soul.

 

  1. According to our philosophy, absolutely everything is eternal and immutable. In the “human-experienced physical reality”, this is expressed in the eternal sequence of “cycles of existence”, which substantially are, down to the very slightest detail, always exactly the same. The human life follows herewith its immutable Plan (an aspect of the All-Embracing Plan) that is correlated to the corresponding Soul. We estimate the length of a “cycle of existence” at about 10.000 years, based on our opinion that we are over halfway in the current cycle with an estimated age of about 6000 years.

 

  1. Except for the aforementioned eternity and immutability, everything is also dominated by “oneness”. In the “human-experienced physical reality”, this is for instance expressed by the human’s being one with nature and with fellow humans (just like the “AllGod” being equal to the “AllReality” in the “Spiritual Singularity” and based on the unifying mutual integration of Souls). If we humans harm nature or fellow humans, we harm ourselves; we have seen this in many painful human experiences in past and present of the “human-experienced physical reality”!

 

  1. Extremely surprising, a considerable number of so-called “synchronicities” (meaningful coincidences, discovered and described by Carl Jung) cover mainlines of our philosophy, such as the “Process of Emanation” and the “Process of Consciousness”. With a view to the infinite Intelligence of the All-Embracing Plan (All Spirit) in the “Spiritual Singularity”, we are inclined to see this cautiously as a kind of evidence.

 

  1. Finally, as a last point, we would like to repeat the very first of the above points of conclusion, saying that “all there is”, and absolutely “all there is”, originates and happens in the real (so non-virtual) infinitely dense “Spiritual Singularity” (or “Heaven”). In the “human-experienced physical reality”, physically everything originates, according to science, from an infinitely dense “physical singularity”, called the “Bing Bang”. We see the “Big Bang” in its shape of physical singularity as the physical interpretation of the “Spiritual Singularity”. Clearly, the whole set of conclusions above is actually our compilation of Heaven (see also Fig.2)! With reference to the well-known 1992 novel “The Discovery of Heaven” by the Dutch writer Harry Mulisch, this essay could well be indicated as “A Rediscovery of Heaven”, which therefore has become the title of the essay! “Heaven” encloses all there is, and is real (not virtual), eternal, immutable (fixed), andhas the property of “oneness”.

 

We hope that post-materialist theories in general might be a stimulus for scientists to include spirituality and spiritual experiences in their research. Spirituality involves the feeling or belief that there is something greater than ourselves, that the greater whole, which we are part of, is cosmic or divine. Spirituality includes any experience that brings us into contact with the divine. To finish, we emphasize that our philosophy is not at all questioning the practically needed and very valuable activities in science, scientific research, engineering, and technology. On the contrary! Our philosophy might only sketch an underlying “Truth”.

Fig.2: Everything in the virtual spiritual and physical world takes place in the Spiritual Singularity (Heaven).  SS: Spiritual Singularity; PoE: Process of Emanation; PoC: Process of Consciousness; VSR: virtual spiritual Reality; VSB: virtual spiritual Being; VPR: virtual physical reality; VPB: virtual physical being; ISR: illusory spiritual Reality; ISB: illusory spiritual Being; IPR: illusory physical reality; IHB: illusory human being. The “All” is eternal, immutable (fixed), and one.
