THESE PREMISES ARE "TRUTHS OF FAITH" (Brown intellect/universals of the rational) TO BE CONFIRMED THROUGH POSITIVE BIAS BASELINE-INTERVENTION METHOD.

Back To The Top

1) that there is God who created the world and directs it
(see: DIVINE PROVIDENCE)

2) that there is heaven and hell which are tied to earth functionally and by correspondence
(see: HEAVEN AND HELL)

3) that there is sin and freedom to shun evil as sins or not to shun it (see: ARCANA COELESTIA) (AC)

4) that sin destroys the rational (see: ARCANA COELESTIA) (AC)

5) that regeneration is stepwise and leads to external soluation (see: ARCANA) (AC)

6) that love and truth act together to produce uses (see: DIVINE LOVE AND DIVINE WISDOM)

7) that there are 3 degrees and simult and successive order (see: DL AND DW)

8) that faith without charity vastates all truths of faith (see: ARCANA AND TCR)

9) that the world is for ever and that heaven is the goal for each person (see: A.C. AND H & H AND TCR)

10) that each person is a universe in miniature (see: H & H AND DL AND DW)

11) that the Bible has an inner meaning that reveals and describes the psychobiology of life on earth
and after death to eternity (see: AC AND AE AND AR) ( AND RT) (AND AK)

12) that the Lord's Kingdom (life after death) is universal, cron-cultural, and psycho-genetic or collective
(see: H & H, Earths in the Universe, AC)

13) that imagination is material and incapable of including the rational but able to adjoin itself to it
(mixed Blue Thoughts)

14) that the rational is innate in organic form (genetic culture) (intentional structures) (archety pal strivings and
genesis) and "adjoins" with the spiritual (mixed) so that "the soul can see by the light of heaven" organic
(form and structure) (rational mind = inner eye) faculty or function (spiritual light = seeing, understanding)
content or object (truths of faith = objects seen)

15) that the soul is a spiritual organic substance and form with the function of EXPERIENCING AND
ACTING. This included:

1. Sensation and Motoric (Body -- external)
2. Perceptual and Neurosemantic (Body -- internal)
3. Imagination and Memory and Logic (Natural Mind)
4. Mixed Material and Rational Thoughts and Cognitions
5. Pure Intellect (Rational Mind)
6. Will (Spiritual Mind and Affections) (Action Impulse)

16) that behavioral dysfunctions result when JUDGMENT activities (rational mind) are governed by
REASONINGS BASED ON/THE NATURAL MINDS EMPIRICISM
(see: SERPENT/DRAGON/BEAR/EGYPT/ PHILISTINE/ IN AC)
as opposed to the other way around which leads to growth unlimited.

17) that worship of, or reflection upon or acknowledgment of "the Lord's Personal governorship" of our life
and experiences effects "conjunction" with Him; this is a state of reception or sensitivity for higher perception,
knowledge, understanding, wisdom, and eternal progress or evolution. (see: REGENERATION.
SALVATION. ANGELIC SOCIETY)

18) that discourse analysis of the Bible yields a handbook of psychobiological evolution;
e.g. 6 Days/Steps/Phases of "Creation" = developmental steps of higher consciousness and organic evolution.

19) that there are 3 degrees of existence: A the first is the original or essence and is prior to time or space
(i.e. "outside" of it -- but really inside, since prior, therefore, higher); an example of such "A-level" existence is
love and its derivatives such as goal, end, will, purpose, intention, basic character, motivating force, impulse,
etc., all of which, like love, are totally free (from constraints of time and space) and act eternally,
i.e. throughout the life or source existence of the event or thing which has the A-level existence.

B the second or, intermediary. existence, comes after the first, but before the last or ultimate.
"B-level- existence to outside space, but in time (or sequence). Examples are-immaterial thoughts, rational
ideas, higher reasonings, complex cognitions, conscious awareness, reflections, etc. all have time or sequence
but no extention or space. These are therefore totally free from space, but are constrained in time or sequential
activity. C the third or ultimate existence is constrained by both time and space. "C-level" existence contains the
prior two levels within itself (as well as their being prior to itself in evolution or development). Examples are
time/space operations of natural phenomena, and including neurophysiological activity.

20) that time/space operations or "C-level" existence are derivatives from "B-level" and "A-level" operations
prior to time/space operations, where the relation is "causative by functional correspondence."
This may be illustrated:

This matrix and graph show that A-level existence is in spirit substance. This has characteristics or existial properties: it is one-dimensional (prior to time and space), bi-directional ("height") (high/low), and multiorganic (infinite variety of "states" or "qualities" or "sensitivities" or "receptivities" that can exist in its form and changes of form or transforms). These basic properties result in various functions, operations, faculties: e.g., LOVE/LOVES , STRIVINGS/INTENTIONS , etc, etc. These A-level operations are in each individual from birth and are immortal. They undergo the appearance of change when traced down and out to their C-level corresponding operations (e.g. when my appetites appear and disappear in my self-knowledge, where (appetite = A-level) (self-knowledge = B-level), (appear and reappear = C-level). A-level operations become accessible to consciousness after the second death (g.u.).

The matrix-graph also show that B-level existence is in mised substance, combining spirit-substance with rational-substance. It is two-dimensional (has sequence, i.e. early or late relatively, and heighth). Note that the heighth, it has within itself because the prior A-level remains within it, though not visibly from the B-perspective) (also: organicity is retained since A-level acts into it from within).

Finally, the graph/matirx depicts C-level existence as 3-dimensional (in space, time, and quality), which is characteristic of natural phenomena. C-level existence is thus most constrained: has limitations due to constraints of localization and particularization (see "historicalization") as is evident from the uniqueness of objects and events in history.

21) that birth is simultaneously in all 3-levels, but in appearance, C-level becomes visible to our conscious selves first. Upon death (first), B-level becomes visible along with C-level. Upon second death, A-level becomes visible along with the B- and C-levels. The first is called "man", the second "spirit", the third "angel", each having their own "appearance" to themselves.

22) that "rebirth" (prior to first death) is possible through "authentic religious practice", which brings "man" and "spirit" together in one consciousness (see the "mystic's" perspective or "higher consciousness" & "enlightenment" or "awakening").

23) that in appearance, i.e. as consciousness evolves from C to A, our development goes from lower to higher potentials; but in reality, i.e. independently of our developing consciousness, all action & growth & activity of the body ( at the C-level) is governed (in every detail) by the A-level, innnate, spiritual soul or essence which, at its own level, is born into (instinctive) competence for building-up physiological and physical constructs and instinctive strivings for accomplishing it, and instinctive values for directionality. This guiding A-level organ (soul) is capable of its functions by birth and is activated by "influx" from the A-level world. When these are activated, the impulses (in specific variety) descend and activate the innate and acquired B-level organs; these precipitate C-level activity (in all variety: "micro" (genetic and biochemical) and "macro" (psychological and educational). Activation is according to innate gene variety and receptivity. Receptivity is according to freedom ("resistance" factors due to laxness/corporeality).

24) that all thoughts coalesce rationally into clusters (see: GLOSSOLIDS AND CULTURAL GENES in ES notes) of spirit substance so that these are encoded in toto and cumulatively whenever actualized ("thought of") and appear to B-level conscious awareness ("spirit") as emanating objects and spheres (of specific colors and form-culsters) from the individual. Hence spirits and angels perceive each other's thoughts, i.e. thought-clusters. Hence communication is authentic and radical since all that was even associated to each thought-cluster is then visible each time it is thought of or spoken of. (see: GRAPHIC METHODOLOGY as an analogous process to that kind of communication since the Graphic Concepts are 2-D--time but no space -- since all space is accessible at once).

25) that the human mind has levels of organic functioning corresponding to:

Back To The Top

The arrow indicates order of conscious awareness or "growth of consciousness" from the natural mind (3,4), through the rational mind (5), to the spiritual mind (6). Level 1 is typical of "man" and drops off with the death of the physical brain (body). Level 4 is typical for natural angels; Level 5, spiritual angels; Level 6, celestial angels. Levels 3,4,5 are available to the regenerated "man". Striving to be good according to revealed authentic religion (shunning sins) enlightens consciousness ("opens") up to Level 5 (open rational) (=confirmation of truths in one's own experience).

25) that confirmation (Br - level 5) of truths and falsities become ingrained in the soul; that the soul transmits to the semen (or genes) all confirmed truths and falsities (see: GENETIC CULTURE; INHERITED TRAITS). (Note the idea of CONFIRMATION = INGRAINED for gene transmission.) Inherited affect (endeavour/conatus) is however alterable through new confrimations (seel REGENERATION). (ETHNICITY = inherited conatus from family lifestyles or confirmed truths and falsities) (see: the "genius" of a particular people or race.
