Synthemon: additions from Perennial Philosophy to make it more universal and complete

 Below is a bullet point summary of Synthemon (Synchronistic Theistic Monism) that integrates compatible elements from the Perennial Philosophy to make it more general, universal, comprehensive, and complete while preserving its unique identity. This summary incorporates the theological, ethical, psychological, sociological, epistemological, historical, and aesthetic dimensions discussed, aligning them with Synthemon’s foundational principles of synchronicity, divine intentionality, and holistic unity. Relevant documents from the provided context are cited accordingly.

• Core Foundation of Synthemon: Synthemon posits that the cosmos originated with the Big Bang, exhibits fine-tuning for life, and is an interconnected, holistic system created by a divine intelligence, reflecting God’s purposeful plan through systematic integration of physical and spiritual attributes [4][1].
• Theology - Universal Divine Reality: Incorporating the Perennial Philosophy’s concept of a universal divine reality, Synthemon emphasizes God as omniscient, omnipotent, omnipresent, and the source of truth, accessible across all cultural and spiritual traditions, transcending specific religious doctrines. This universalist perspective highlights that divine synchronicity and intentionality manifest diversely yet remain rooted in a singular essence, enhancing Synthemon’s inclusivity and holistic unity [4].
• Metaphysics - Substance Monism and Attribute Dualism: Synthemon maintains its view of the cosmos as a unified substance with dual attributes of thought (mental/spiritual) and extension (physical/material), distinct from God yet purposefully crafted. This aligns with the Perennial Philosophy’s recognition of spiritual essence underlying material reality, reinforcing Synthemon’s rejection of dualism in favor of an integrated whole [1][6].
• Ethics - Compassion and Non-Violence: Drawing from the Perennial Philosophy, Synthemon integrates an ethical framework of compassion, non-violence (ahimsa), and selflessness as expressions of divine unity. Ethical behavior becomes a synchronistic act, harmonizing individuals with God’s plan, and strengthens practical applications for daily life, enhancing personal empowerment through divine guidance [3][5].
• Psychology - Transcending Ego for Divine Connection: Synthemon adopts the Perennial Philosophy’s insight that the ego is a barrier to divine unity, deepening its understanding of the Holy Spirit as an indwelling guide. Spiritual practices like meditation, prayer, and synchronistic tools (e.g., Tarot, I Ching) are emphasized to align the self with the divine substance, offering a universal path to experience interconnectedness of mind and body [1][6].
• Sociology - Universal Brotherhood and Interconnectedness: Inspired by the Perennial Philosophy, Synthemon promotes a social ethic of universal brotherhood, transcending cultural and religious boundaries. This aligns with its principle of cosmic interconnectedness (from quantum entanglement to ecological webs), positioning Synthemon as a framework for global harmony under God’s intentional design [4].
• Epistemology - Balancing Intuition and Rational Inquiry: Synthemon mirrors the Perennial Philosophy’s balance of direct experience, intuition, and mystical insight with rational inquiry, reinforcing its divine epistemology. Contemplative practices and rational exploration of cosmic laws are both encouraged to access the timeless nature of God’s plan, appealing to diverse seekers of truth [5].
• Synchronicity as Divine Mechanism: Central to Synthemon, synchronicity remains the principle that weaves physical events with spiritual meaning, reflecting God’s plan. Enhanced by the Perennial Philosophy’s focus on universal truths, synchronicity supports tools like Tarot and I Ching, as well as psychic phenomena, as means to tap into cosmic interconnectedness [4][5].
• Views on History - Cyclical Nature and Spiritual Renewal: Integrating the Perennial Philosophy’s cyclical view of history, Synthemon frames historical events as synchronistic patterns within God’s order, where periods of decline offer opportunities for renewal through alignment with the divine essence. This adds a temporal depth to Synthemon’s perspective on divine intentionality [4].
• Art and Aesthetics - Beauty as Divine Reflection: Drawing from the Perennial Philosophy, Synthemon views art as a synchronistic practice that connects physical and spiritual attributes of the divine substance. The creation and appreciation of beauty become expressions of divine unity, making Synthemon culturally engaging and universally relevant [6].
• God’s Transcendence and Immanence: Synthemon retains its unique view of God transcending cosmic spacetime, able to enter the cosmos in any form and inhabit all time, while integrating the Perennial Philosophy’s emphasis on direct personal experience of the divine, reinforcing the balance of transcendence and immanence [1].
• Practical Benefits and Empowerment: With these integrations, Synthemon offers enhanced benefits such as personal empowerment through divine guidance, practical spiritual tools, and a framework for living in harmony with others and the cosmos, aligning with its emphasis on holistic unity and the Perennial Philosophy’s focus on shared humanity [3][2].

By incorporating these elements from the Perennial Philosophy, Synthemon evolves into a more universal and complete framework without losing its distinct identity. Its core principles of synchronicity, divine intentionality, and a unified cosmos are enriched by universal divine access, ethical compassion, psychological transcendence, social interconnectedness, balanced epistemology, cyclical historical understanding, and aesthetic divine expression. This synthesis makes Synthemon accessible to a broader audience while maintaining its unique metaphysical and theological coherence.
