The idea of Absolute Reality was introduced to my mind in August 2019, when I began reading The Urantia Book. Within six months, I wrote the following within the Master's Thesis, Knowing Englightenment Now:
A Source of Spiritual Information "The Urantia Book was given to me by a friend, just after the initial epiphany about the presence of “another” in my consciousness, realized through meditative prayer. The text is 1,814 pages, and claims to be the fifth epochal revelation of Christ, containing 196 lengthy, intellectual papers. At the time, I felt great relief, wonder, and amazement, that the table of contents was filled with author titles such as “Divine Counselor” and “Perfector of Wisdom.” Within it, the cosmos, its players, parts and functions are described, the nature of man and his relation to God outlined, and the life of Jesus Christ extended from the limited description of the man’s life found in the Bible, portraying instead, an intimate description from an omniscient perspective." Mental Acrobatics This source changed my life. I do not claim my outer mind understands this text ad infinitum, as it is an act of cerebral acrobatics to keep deity heirarchies straight in my mind as it is described, but in the way it is written, it speaks to the consciousness that is beyond the outer mind, just as the Bible does. It speaks in many voices (different authors are seemingly assigned different papers), sterilizing the theological topics described within each paper of the ego's presence. One finds beautiful, spiritual magic within himself, when he rests his mind on the Source of All, regardless of its origination. Mortal Comprehension Mortal is defined as, "...mortal man is very largely an unrealized spiritual potentiality (Foreward 0:4:7 (7.5). The book states," In order to facilitate mortal comprehension of the universe of universes, the diverse levels of cosmic reality have been designated as finite, absonite, and absolute. Of these only the absolute is unqualifiedly eternal, truly existential. Absonites and finites are derivatives, modifications, qualifications, and attenuations of the original and primordial absolute reality of infinity." Conceptual Mental Platforms are Valuable Although the levels of reality, as described above, are meant as conceptual mental platforms, it does state that, "Value is a unique element in universe reality. We do not comprehend how the value of anything infinite and divine could possibly be increased. But we discover that meanings can be modified if not augmented even in the relations of infinite Deity. To the experiential universes even divine values are increased as actualities by enlarged comprehension of reality meanings" (115:2.2). And, this is what I am attempting to do, which is enlarge my understanding of the Divine, by considering what "Absolute Reality" is. The Point The point is that this "level" description of the universe, tells of an Absolute Divinity, and of a story that is enthralling in all ways to me. The synchronicity has led me to shine some light upon these levels, and bring to the conscious level of the mind, the idea that there is ever-more, and one is not alone within himself; life is a blessing to live when one focuses his mind upon knowing more about his own existence. Ultimately, when I sit in the Presence of the Spirit of God, and meditate only upon His Presence, the vastness of the perceptual consctruct of "self" realizes a Kingdom Within, and I know through my own meditative experience that I am eternally and Absolutely a part of the Source.
