HP/SOS WORD MEANINGS (Holographic Psychology/Science of Spirit)
ONTOLOGY
The philosophies of the nature of BEING. The study of the nature of reality as it relates to the science of the essence of things. One’s ontology is one’s personal identity as described by self-image psychology. One’s personal self-esteem or self-worth is one’s basis of one’s reality. The concept of one’s “ground of being” is an example of how philosophers have argued for centuries for or against universals versus particulars as defining definitions.
HP/SOS shows how and why the current behavioristic, psychoanalytic, humanistic and transpersonal psychological schools are all based on ontological presuppositions as levels of consciousness awaken. One’s current ontological belief determines the basis for one’s personal world view of his or her reality.
COSMOLOGY
The philosophies that study the basic laws, processes and divisions of the objects of nature. The test of a cosmology is the degree of agreement it has with respect to both empirical facts and metaphysical truths. The value of a cosmology is its capability to provide a framework for occurrences in nature, and to offer a demonstration of where the limits of the spatial-temporal world are and how they might be transcended. HP/SOS shows how and why the psychological schools base their systems on assumed philosophical cosmologies, by definition, that range from the particular to the universal.
In first reality one’s personal ontology (personal identity) determines one’s personal cosmology. In first reality what I believe is assumed to be what everyone else believes or should believe.
It is this projection of first reality that produces cloning in which one attempts to replace the beliefs of others with one’s own beliefs. This results in struggle and warfare until one stops trying to change others to fit one’s own set of beliefs. Until LOC or second reality’s location of comprehension one is not aware that they are trying to clone others when they are not yet aware that they are using their own personal biases and beliefs to justify why others need to be changed. After second reality reflection this stops because the attempt to change others raises the question, “do I want others deciding what I am to believe?” Second reality is having the awareness that “I am” relating to a belief-system rather than the world.
Until second reality we are not aware that our world is based on our own belief-system. There is no capability for choice or freedom in first reality when what we think and feel about the world excludes our beliefs that are doing the describing.
MONISM
The view that there is but one fundamental reality. HP/SOS using the psychological schools shows why and how a monism that includes the transcendent is not possible in a “material only” first reality. Only after a human has located his or her beliefs as the determining aspect of his or her reality is conscious participation possible in a functioning monism. The location of one’s comprehension (LOC) makes it possible for an individual to be both responsible for his or her current beliefs and empowered to replace unacceptable beliefs with options that are more desirable. This is the paradigm shift from outer orientation of first reality to inner orientation of second reality. This awakening to options and the ability to actualize them is the treatment method of science of mind or Religious Science. This awakening also produces multiple forms of secular humanism and self-help systems in which the awesome nature of a human begins to be discovered and options to be chosen.
HP/SOS shows the next step in human evolution to be the realization that the monism of one’s personal belief-system is actually one’s use of a universal monism that Dr. Holmes named “universal mind” and Dr. Jung named “the collective unconscious”. Jesus named it “The Kingdom Within”.
HP/SOS shows the importance of second reality where responsibility and empowerment are awakened and decision making capability is practiced before the conscious awakening to universal conscious awareness happens. HP/SOS also shows why prayer (all meaning and feeling) in first reality is “God in action” with negative or positive feelings expressing degrees of self-worth (in every culture) with no conscious personal awareness of the part a person’s beliefs are playing in the reality they are living, practicing and producing.
DUALISM
This cosmology is the belief in two independent and mutually irreducible substances as the basis of reality. In monotheistic religions of Christianity, Judaism and Islam dualism is named “theism” or the belief in the separation and difference between creator and creation. Learning (epistemology) is based on a dualistic cosmology in which one believes that one learns from his or her environment. Dualism is the basis of the “pair of opposites”: good or evil, sick or well, rich or poor, happy or sad, etc.
HP/SOS shows that until second reality’s LOC, a human is a “slave” to his or her circumstances because in first reality it will be his or her environment that is blamed as the cause of the circumstances. Only after LOC or second reality is an individual aware that his or her circumstances are the result of his or her own belief-system. First reality is the awareness of an individual ontology that lives his or her life as a victim of his or her past, present or future.
PANENTHEISM
The doctrine that reality comprises a single BEING of which all things are modes, moments, members, appearances or projections. This concept is saying that “God is all, there is only God” as the basis of reality.
HP/SOS uses panentheism rather than pantheism because it is a newer concept with a similar meaning of God is ALL, however, with the importance of level understanding given to us by the psychological schools. This new concept helps us understand how God can be ALL with levels of God existing in which there is no conscious awareness of this reality. It is this realization that mystics of every culture have attempted to explain by saying:
The new concept of panentheism states that God interpenetrates everything, is everything, without ignoring the independent existence believed in early realities; moreover, while God is immanent, this immanence is not absolute (as in pantheism). God is transcendent, more than the world in the sense that though creation is dependent upon a creative principle, the creative principle is not dependent on the created. Early second reality can have individuals believing that they are the creators of their universe which can produce Hitler-like people.
HP/SOS uses this concept of panentheism to justify the importance of first and early second reality when an individual is still believing in an individual ontology. Most self-help systems are individual ontologies without questions asked about:
Where is potential prior to my actualizing it? What motivates me to actualize change? How can my current beliefs understand changed beliefs? Why would my practicing change produce change in my world?
HP/SOS explains the importance of second reality’s learning to be responsible and empowered before it is necessary to ask the above questions. Third reality explains why first and early second reality work as prayer when feeling and meaning are validated by the belief-system without any ability to know why.
“It is done unto you as you believe”.
This justifies the importance of first reality’s belief in a separate God of countless names, as well as a separate self, I, ego or person’s early second reality belief that it is the self, I or person that is creating his or her world.
HP/SOS helps us understand in its third reality why one is aware that change is one’s ontology and cosmology validating ITSELF. Mystics named this process involution, (HP/SOS’s Spiritual DNA) that is GOD ITSELF, producing evolution. HP/SOS helps us journey from the subject/object language model of first and early second reality to the process language model of advanced second and third reality.
Each step of the journey is an awakening process that is important as an ETERNAL NATURE AWAKENS AND FUNCTIONS.
