Metaphysical Humanism and the Laws of Being, part XIX—The third lawful order

I've been working on my new book on Metaphysical Humanism for more than a year now.. 

I did tell readers I would eventually get back to publishing some of the material, and that moment has come. The overall work, however, is still unfinished...

We're picking up where we left off. 

Readers coming in in the middle of this dialogue might want to consider reading the original material which was published earlier in the space between 9/22 and 11/18/2018.

The Triad of Existence: Notes

The triangle indicates the genesis of the entire universe from a single point of Love into the entire scope of the cosmos. 

This scope is bounded at the base by intellect and matter; the forces are completely balanced, and create the field called existence. 

Study of the dialectical forces in the diagram yields some interesting insights into fundamental functions of the first three laws. For example: 

1. The interaction of Matter and Intellect creates a directed line of developmental tension, or exchange of force, between order and chaos, which runs along the base of the triangle—indicating it as perhaps the fundamental underpinning of the nature of the universe. This line is the line of entropy.

2. The interaction between Intellect and Love creates a like line of development governing the difference between dispassion and compassion, indicated as the line of wisdom. This line has an ascendant nature, and indicates the ascendant moral compass of a universe guided by compassionate relationship.

3. The interaction of Love and Matter creates a third line of exchange of force, showing the genesis of the universe of manifested matter (physics) from the the Supreme Unmanifest—the impulse of Love (metaphysics.) 

The meta-interaction of these three sets of forces produces existence; and we can thus not only see how existence merges from the major forces, but also the tensions and dialectic between the various forces which produce the principal underpinnings of existence:  manifestation, order, and wisdom. 

May your heart be close to God, 

and God close to your heart.
