The emergence of the idea of the Original Being
The concept of the Original Being has been shaped in my imagination for several decades along with the increased participation in military research. I was involved in this research not only within the framework of classical physics, but also in quantum physics and theoretical astrophysics. Therefore, my interest in these fields resulted from my professional profile. During business trips around the world, I found opportunities to get to know the gods professed by various world religious denominations. It was my additional hobby during scientific training and studies in various parts of the world, such as the Middle and Far East, America and Africa. Thus, the process of getting to know gods such as Yahweh, Heavenly Father or Allah took place parallel to professional activity. I came to surprising conclusions about religion when I used the scientific method to analyze their content. Thanks to this, I better understood the meaning of the existence of religious denominations.
As a result of these experiences, I had to decide whether to "say goodbye" to the existing concepts of God or try to modify those concepts that are represented by numerous religious denominations. My first conclusion was that the history of religions, especially those of the Middle East, is the history of reversing the biblical statement that God created man in His image and likeness. As a result, a vision of God was created in the image and likeness of man, i.e. God imagined by people. So I noticed that long ago Judaism "shaped" God for its tribal and national needs, that is, it made Him Yahweh - the national God of Judaism that exists to this day. Then Christians, having their own understanding of the teachings and explanations of the Son of God, modified the "Israeli" God in the fashion of an international God, existing in the form of the Holy Trinity. It was created as a result of adding dogmatic attributes about His existence invented by Christian decision-makers. This is how an imaginary god came into being, having little to do with the One preached by Jesus. In turn, Islam, by introducing the laws of the Koran, modified the Yahweh adopted from the Bible for its tribal needs and made him Allah - an "Islamic" God somewhat similar to the "Christian".
Out of a scientific obligation, I explain the definition of an imaginary god. It is a God made in the image and likeness of humans. This God knows evil by being around us and watching our lives. So He functions in the same "space" as his opposite, that is, He competes with Satan on Earth. Thanks to His Providence, He cares for us, understands human needs, and even helps his followers to destroy the enemies they indicate. Such an imaginary God also supports all kinds of totalitarianisms. Moreover, He is especially merciful and understanding towards his priests, the faithful and the fanatics who proclaim him. Of course, sometimes, when his followers expect it, He is also a harsh judge for all mankind, preparing an eternal hell for incorrect members of the human community or punishing sinners. In general, such an imaginary God has power over everything, that is, he is more a god of authority than a god of love.
The gods defined in this way have, in my opinion, been called the imaginary gods. Unfortunately, with the development of civilization, people stopped worrying about them. The degradation of religion, unfortunately, continues. Added to this were the crimes of clergymen, ranging from fraternizing with bloody regimes and ending with pedophilia. In this situation, I stopped dealing with such gods. Eventually, I was fortunate enough to realize that there is a real, "scientific" God that should exist regardless of beliefs and beliefs.
By creating a new, scientific-like approach to understanding the existence of God, I decided to apply in a disciplined manner the reasoning taken from science about His existence, action and "being". For analytical purposes, I called it the Original Being. With this approach to the issue of the existence of God, one should add the adjective "hypothetical" to his name. However, I gave up on this as I established His attributes, which gave a coherent theory about the existence of the First Cause being the Creator of the universe. This matter has aroused, arouses and will continue to arouse "silent" interest in science.
When scientists begin their analysis of a given state or issue, they create an initial research model. They use intuition and experience gained while examining unfamiliar situations. They describe this model with appropriate mathematical equations and functions, already creating a specific mathematical or physical model. By working in this way, they define all the necessary research principles and research instruments that they adapt to the chosen project. I did that too.
In the case of proving the existence of the Original Being, the main questions concerned the place of His being in relation to the universe, His possible involvement in creative activities and His Personality influencing this activity. I had to deal with this, because the scientific research to date, both empirically and rationally, has shown that it is impossible to locate God in the space-time of the universe. Thus, His existence should be related to the state to which science has no access yet. In this way, a hypothesis was created about the sphere beyond time and space as the only state that could be assigned to the Original Being. The discovery of the moment when the structure of the cosmos was created as a result of the Big Bang "opened" the possibility of locating God as the First Cause in a "place" other than the space-time of the universe, ie in the "afterlife" beyond time and space. Scientists by establishing the beginning of the universe made everyone realize that it arose from an unknown state that cannot be determined by any known laws of nature or scientific instruments.
The key point in this analysis is the appearance of the universe's space-time at a point called singularity. This suggests the existence of a sphere defined by my imagination as a state beyond time and space before its creation. The definition of the state of the space with time and space results indirectly from the boundary conditions of the creation of space-time in the universe. This means that space and time emerged from a state in which time did not exist before, that is, that state should be eternal. In this case, you really had to use your imagination to the maximum. Both intuition and scientific experience allowed me to conclude that this sphere is a special "place" where one can establish the existence of the eternal Original Being. The only sensible solution was that this Being occupies this entire sphere. Assuming beforehand the attributes of eternity, perfection, and absolute for this Being, I had to conclude that He is unlimited in His "location," that is, He is not subject to time and space limitations. Thus, a sphere or state beyond time and space, which is all that surrounds the universe, or possibly other universes, is the "space" of the Original Being. He should be completely integrated with it, that is, while maintaining the separateness of His Personality, this sphere is Him and He is it. Due to the conditions of the state beyond time and space, I did not have to worry that the Original Being was somehow "blurring" in this sphere. It can be compared to the human personality which maintains its ubiquitous state regardless of where it is located. Our spiritual personality has no barriers, and human thought can freely penetrate time and space.
Such reasoning led to the final conclusion that if such a Original Being exists, it must be outside the universe and must be primary to it, i.e. source as to its origin. At the same time, His creative "products" should be fully realized in space-time. I will add to clarify that since the Original Being exists beyond time and space, it is not subject to the principle of causality that can only work in space-time. Therefore, He has no "own" cause, for Himself, as the embodiment of eternity and infinity, He creates the eternal First Cause.
Essenceism noticed that the universe, its structures, the life that arose on planet Earth, and the appearance of intelligent beings with personality there, show remarkable consistency and precision in existence. Thus arises a train of thought that leads from an intelligent and eternal Cause to an intelligent effect in the form of an eternal being, that is, man. Hence the conclusion that the Original Creative Being must have a Personality in order to be able to pass it on to people. My entire analytical system is focused on proving this thesis. I present my principles of research and analytical instruments of essenceism in all my studies and on websites.
Describing the scientific concept of God in essenceism obviously had to take into account His creative possibilities resulting in the creation of the space-time of the universe. It follows that the universe arose from energy "located" beyond time and space, that is, from the Energy of the First Cause, which is one of the two necessary attributes of the Original Being. For the same reasons as the existence of the Original Being, it should be inexhaustible and eternal, and at the same time constitute a specific Physical Side of the Original Being. In turn, this creative Energy should function according to His Laws and Principles, which are the second main attribute of the Original Being. Of course, they too exist eternally beyond time and space. Further analysis led to the conclusion that the creative Laws and Principles are derived from the Intelligence, Will, and Affection of the Original Being. They create His Personality, in which all these qualities constitute an absolute unity indicating the existence of the Personality Center called by essenceism the Creator's Heart. This is how I define His Spiritual Side, which makes Him a Original Being. "Theologically" His Personality can also be called the Spirit of God.
It still needs to be explained why the causality of the Original Being is so important in my system. According to essenceism, the existence of God is not a problem of faith, but a logical necessity. Essenceism rejects the notion that the universe was created out of nothing. In this situation, without recognizing the Creator as the disposer of law-controlled energy, it would not be possible to rationally explain the existence of the universe, and especially the circumstances of the emergence of energy and matter. The same applies to the emergence of life and the appearance of intelligent beings, that is, ourselves. And in this case, the presence of the Creator is also a necessity. It was this reasoning that finally shaped my system. Of course, these essenceism claims must be verified during the analysis of the functioning of the Original Being and the fact that He could actually create the universe, life and people. In this regard, we are constantly moving in the area of theories presented by my system.
The most important concept in the search for the Original Being is infinity, the existence of which is recognized not only by scientists, but also functions in the universal human consciousness. Of course, infinity has no end, but also no beginning, which brings us a better understanding of eternity. The next most important concept in understanding the operation of the Original Being is perfection. In rational reasoning, it is the final state of a given existence, not requiring any correction, i.e. completed in every respect. Then the perfectional state is an ideal state which cannot be even more perfect than the already existing one. The absolute is also a very important concept in the realization of the existence of the Original Being. The Absolute of the Original Being means His uniqueness, uniqueness, superiority and independence, that is, that He is the first of all possible beings, independent of any other. These attributes of the Original Being listed in my system entitle us to say that He must be an initial, source and causative being. At the same time, their coherence leads to the conclusion that everything that He creates takes from Him the only proper state called good.
To sum up, the Energy of the First Cause and the Laws that fill the Original Being affect all existence both in the sphere beyond time and space (otherwise known as the spiritual world) and in the spacetime of the universe (known as the physical world). It is also worth noting that in the physical world, cognizable by man, the attributes of the Original Being are transformed into specific forms of energy and matter perceived by our senses, as well as into all natural laws discovered by science. Understanding the mechanism of these phenomena is presented in the following parts of essenceism.
