Verbal Mind Map of the Metaphysics of Synchronic Theistic Monism (Synthemon)
Below is a verbal mind map/diagram of Synthemon’s metaphysics, structured hierarchically to reflect its core components, axioms, and relationships. This map organizes the metaphysical framework into a conceptual structure, showing how each element connects to the central idea of a unified, synchronistic, theistic, monistic cosmos.
Central Concept: Synchronic Theistic Monism (Synthemon)
- Definition: A metaphysical worldview integrating substance monism, attribute dualism, synchronicity, divine epistemology, God’s plan, a holistic cosmos, free will, and a Judeo-Christian theistic foundation, explaining Tarot and I Ching, and other things.
1. Foundational Theistic Core
- Judeo-Christian God
- Omnipotent, omniscient, benevolent creator of the cosmos, (who has more dimensions than the cosmos, which explains the nature of the Trinity and many miracles).
- Source of all truth (Divine Epistemology: Epistemological Principle 1).
- Establishes God’s Plan, revealed through scripture, the Holy Spirit, and synchronicity (Ethical Principle 1: Honor the One True God).
- Divine Law
- Supreme authority (Legal Principle 1: Uphold Divine Law as the Supreme Authority).
- Revealed through scripture (e.g., Ten Commandments, Leviticus 19:18: “Love your neighbor”).
- Guides all principles and actions.
2. Substance Monism
- One Unified Cosmic Substance
- All reality derives from a single substance created by God (Ethical Principle 3: Respect the Sacred Unity of the Cosmos).
- Contrasts with dualism (e.g., Cartesian mind-body dualism) by asserting ontological unity.
- Supported by scientific evidence (e.g., quantum entanglement, fine-tuning).
3. Attribute Dualism
- Two Aspects of the Cosmic Substance
- Physical Attribute: Matter/energy, observable through science (e.g., quantum fields, particles) (Epistemological Principle 12: Observe Reality with the Senses).
- Spiritual Attribute: Consciousness, meaning, enabling free will and subjective experience (Epistemological Principle 5: Engage the Spiritual Attribute to Discern Truth).
- Integration: Both attributes are inseparable, reflecting a unitary reality (Ethical Principle 5: Integrate the Physical and Spiritual Attributes in Daily Life).
4. Axioms of Divine Order
- Identity: Things are what they are (truth is objective) (Ethical Principle 12: Honor the Axioms of Divine Order).
- Causality: Actions have consequences, reflecting God’s ordered cosmos.
- Necessity: The cosmos must be as it is, per God’s design.
- Synchronicity: Meaningful, non-causal connections reveal God’s plan (Ethical Principle 6: Embrace Synchronicity as a Path to Divine Guidance).
5. Synchronicity
- Mechanism: Non-causal, meaningful coincidences (e.g., Tarot, I Ching) reveal divine guidance (Legal Principle 5: Seek Synchronic Guidance in Legal Matters).
- Purpose: Explains efficacy of divination tools, aligning with the Pauli-Jung conjecture but reinterpreted theistically.
- Application: Used for personal, legal, and societal decisions (e.g., interpreting “The Wheel of Fortune” card as a sign of change).
6. Holistic Cosmos
- Interconnectedness: All parts of the cosmos are unified (Sociological Principle 1: Build Communities that Reflect the Unity of the Cosmos).
- Supported by science (e.g., quantum entanglement, ecosystems).
- Reflects divine unity (John 17:21, “that they may all be one”).
- Implications: Actions must foster unity, not division (e.g., environmental stewardship, Legal Principle 7: Balance Individual Rights with Collective Harmony).
7. Free Will
- Enabled by Spiritual Attribute: Humans have agency within God’s system (Ethical Principle 4: Exercise Free Will in Alignment with God’s Plan).
- Responsibility: Individuals are accountable for choices, which must align with divine law (Legal Principle 4: Exercise Free Will in Legal Responsibility).
- Balance: Free will is balanced with collective harmony (Sociological Principle 3: Respect the Free Will of Others).
8. Natural Rights
- God-Given Rights: Life, liberty, property, pursuit of happiness (Legal Principle 2: Recognize Natural Law as a Reflection of God’s Cosmic Order).
- Rooted in scripture (Genesis 1:27, “created in God’s image”).
- Supported by natural law (cosmic order, e.g., ecological balance).
- Stewardship: Rights must be exercised responsibly to foster cosmic unity (Ethical Principle 10: Steward Natural Rights as God-Given Gifts).
9. Divine Epistemology
- Source of Truth: God is the ultimate source of knowledge (Epistemological Principle 1: Acknowledge God as the Ultimate Source of All Truth).
- Methods to Discern Truth:
- Divine revelation (scripture, Holy Spirit) (Epistemological Principle 2).
- Synchronicity (Tarot, I Ching) (Epistemological Principle 3).
- Scientific discovery (e.g., fine-tuning) (Epistemological Principle 4).
- Reason and rationality (Epistemological Principle 11).
- Sensory observation (Epistemological Principle 12).
- Testing: Knowledge must align with divine revelation and cosmic unity (Epistemological Principle 10).
10. Objective Law
- Definition: Universal, God-given principles transcending human subjectivity (Legal Principle 9: Adhere to Objective Law as Determined by Divine Truth and Cosmic Order).
- Determination: Through scripture (e.g., “Do justice,” Micah 6:8), synchronicity, reason, observation, and science.
- Examples: Justice, ecological harmony, stewardship of creation.
11. Journey to Wholeness
- 8-Fold Path to the Self: A spiritual journey integrating opposites (e.g., physical/spiritual) to achieve wholeness (Ethical Principle 9: Pursue the Journey to Wholeness with Dedication).
- Involves synchronic guidance, prayer, and meditation on the Synthemon mandala.
- Collective Dimension: Societies should support collective growth (Sociological Principle 7: Encourage Collective Growth Toward Wholeness).
12. Social Equality
- Compatible Equalities: Equality of opportunity, equality under the law, equality before God, social equality, racial equality, gender equality, etc., as they align with divine justice and cosmic unity.
- Incompatible Equalities: Equality of results, equal incomes, as they violate free will and divine order.
- Optional Equalities: Egalitarianism, equal wealth, digital equality—depend on societal context and must balance with natural rights.
13. Practical Applications
- Divination Tools: Tarot and I Ching are used to discern God’s plan (e.g., interpreting cards for guidance in decisions).
- Creative Partnership: Humans co-create with God (Ethical Principle 11: Cultivate Creativity as a Divine Partnership), e.g., art, problem-solving.
- Societal Issues: Synthemon applies principles to issues like housing (balancing charity with property rights) and social equality (promoting justice while respecting agency).
