The 3 Operational Divisions of Reality

Reality is an effect of perception.

Perception is a disturbance in a line in the aether or akasha, which is the substance for existence. This is because existence exists as a thought-projection of the Supreme Mind as the Brahman.

The resulting existence is called Brahma.

For those who are allergic to religion and think that Brahma is a religious word, we can use the layman term Totality of Existence, or Existence with a capital ’e’, instead.

The disturbances in the Supreme Mind manifests as waves.

These disturbances are caused by the interaction of the 2 Forces of Positive and Negative, called Yang and Yin in Taoism, and Shiva and Shakti in Hinduism. Again, for those who are allergic to religion, we use Positive and Negative instead.

These waves create Existence.

These disturbances creates pockets of void in Existence. These have to be filled for Existence to have no holes or ‘bugs’ or errors. These are filled by thinner and subtler waves.

The phrase “there is no void in Nature” means that God is everywhere and that God is everything.

For those who are allergic to religion, we can say instead that the aether or 5th Element fills everything. This is consistent with quantum mechanics that says that empty space is not truly empty.

• The crude waves collectively are part of the physical domain.
• The subtle waves collectively are part of the metaphysical domain.

This aether is called substance by 17th century natural philosophy and ancient Greek philosophy.

The Superiority of the Metaphysical over the Physical

The subtle waves wrap around and penetrate the cruder waves in order to fill the void. In other words, metaphysical subtle waves can pass through physical crude waves.

But physical waves cannot pass through subtle ones. This is why speed in our physical reality is limited to 300,000 kilometers per second. It is because the crude physical waves are unable to breach that subtle limitation.

This is why the subtle metaphysical domain is superior to the physical.

Huge amounts of energy is not needed to breach the physical barrier. Subtletly is needed.

In some places in the aether, there arises a concentration of waves, as nodes.

• The cruder nodes become ideas.
• The subtler nodes become minds.

Perception occurs when these nodes of minds interact with each other and with other ideas.

In Cartesian Physics, these are called vortices instead of nodes.

The stars and planets are therefore concentrations of crude and subtle waves.

The Purpose of Reality and the Illusion of Physicality

The base of Existence is the possibility of having disturbances. Reality is when those disturbances actually occur.

A richer reality-perception therefore is made up of multiple waves of disturbance hitting a disturbance that is also more complex than others.

Having no perception is perceiving no disturbance and therefore no mind, rather the mind is in potential form.

Empty space has no nodes or few disturbances, while a rich galaxy has a lot of them.

The purpose of Existence is to go back to pure Existence where there we no disturbances by getting a flat wave. This means finding the flatness from all the disturbance.

• The Abolute Entity is flat Existence.
• The Supreme Entity is disturbed Existence.

Our experience of reality is a small portion of all the disturbances in the aether. Physical reality is a crudified version of this aether.

The distubances are caused by 2 Forces of Positive and Negative. Free will and spirit is associated with the Positive. Determinism and force is associated with the Negative.

Life is an effect of the Positive Force and is real. It is physical reality that is an illusion.

Causal, Subtle, Crude within Physical and Metaphysical

The 2 domains are static divisions of reality, based on immediate perception as physical or metaphysical.

But waves are never static.

To have a basis for the actual phenomena that is sequential or made up of successive perceptions, we create the 3 operational divisions of reality as:

1. Causal
2. Subtle
3. Crude

This is similar to the Freudian:

• Unconscious
• Subconscious
• Conscious

However, our difference is that the basis for the divisions are not awareness, but the properties of the 2 Forces of Positive and Negative.

• This is the same basis of the 2 domains.

The interaction of different phenomena take place in 3 divisions based on their affinity with either the Positive or Negative Forces.

Basis for the Groupings of Phenomena

These divisions are the basis for different groups of phenomena:

Each of these divisions have its own subdivisions made up of 5 parts.

• The 5 parts of the causal subdivision is called the 5 Strata
• The 5 parts of the subtle subdivision is called the 5 Elements, with reference to the Asian 5 Elements
• The 5 parts of the crude subdivision is called the 5 Layers

These phenomena and subdivisions will be studied by the different branches of Superphysics.
