Hi Ham and all,
> Essence is the uncreated Absolute Source of diversity.
What observation can help me describe a reality for this statement? I
presume that it is an article of Faith.
Do you propose that as sentient beings we have common essences? As far as I
know Essence is a term of logic given to an abstraction by the intellect in
Aristotle's theory of knowledge.
Essence is the term used by Aristotle in his theory of knowledge. For
knowledge, the mind abstracts an essence from an image in the imagination
and gives the abstraction an intentional existence in the mind.
SOM's theory of knowledge creates intentional existence for Essence. There
is no reality to essence only the conceptual logical environment in SOM.
Positing Essence as an uncreated Absolute Source of diversity denies
individual accountability.
The diversity of indefinable individuality I find acceptable. My
individuality is differently sourced than yours. I can not reject my
indefinable individuality in logical discourse. Communication requires
common experiences. I don't think essence is a common experience.
MOQ proposes a different theory for knowledge, evolution, as a metaphysical
premise for diversity. I conjecture that MOQ accepts evolutionary reality
as levels in existence. I find that idea exciting.
