ULTIMATE SOURCES OF KNOWLEDGE

This is a philosophical explanation of the ultimate creation of the universe of knowledge. As such, it is based on logical, coherent, consistent, reasoning and principles that are relevant to theological, philosophical and scientific knowledge. The few paragraphs, that explain the following Ultimate Creation of Knowledge, have within them the ultimate principles and premises of truth. They are ultimate sources of knowledge. Its principles may be found in most, if not all knowledge. Basically, all knowledge may be induced to or deduced from this Ultimate Creation. This makes it to be a basis for a pending Grand Unifying Theory of Knowledge .

The universe is matter and diversity. Matter and diversity are created from their opposite of energy and unity. As an opposite, material energy could be called spiritual matter. Between matter and energy is their synthesis in change. Change is a rational concept of time/motion/space. So the universe of diverse matter was created when the unity of energy changed thru time/motion/space. This was the ultimate creation of the trinity of energy-(time/motion/space)-matter. As a philosophical equation, this is, E-(T/M/S)-M. As a scientific equation, this is: E=MC².This also created the trinity of spiritual-rational-sensual(material) values.

A force had to begin the ultimate change. A Force is what moved and split the unity of energy to make E-(T/M/S)-M. An inertial force is balanced against inertial resistance. By adding Force and Resistance to the philosophical equation, we have F:E-(T/M/S)-M:R . By making balancing changes between these trinitized values, while maintaining the constant entity of the whole equation, most physical laws or equations may be mathematically deduced from the equation. It is a source of natural knowledge.

What created the energy, from which was created matter? The universe is created from spiritual matter, or energy. Spiritual matter is created from its opposite of spirit. Spirit is the Ultimate Unity that has Eternity/Unity/Infinity. This makes the philosophical equation of: S-(E/U/I). When spirit changed to spiritual matter(Energy), E/U/I changed to its opposite of T/M/S. So spiritual matter, or energy, was created when there was change from S(E/U/I to F:E-(T/M/S)-M:R .

What was the force behind the S-(E/U/I) that created F:E-(T/M/S)-M:R? Out of the Ultimate Unity of the Ultimate Spirit came the ultimate force that changed spiritual unity to its opposite of diverse matter (Energy), "because it was good", or Godlike as an aspect of the Ultimate Creator. In this process E/U/I changed to T/M/S. T/M/S is a rational concept that is equivalent to rational mind. This created the Ultimate Trinity of Spirit-Mind-Matter(Body), from which all rational knowledge of man was created.

In the process of creating matter(Spiritual energy) out of spirit, there was a balancing loss of spirit to create matter (Body), as the entity of the whole remained constant. If the ultimate change had continued without stop, it would have created all matter with no spirit, mind, or T/M/S. This ultimate evil would have destroyed the ultimate good of having a good change without bad change. This resulted in the ultimate moral conflict, to have change toward evil or not. This resulted in the ultimate resolution of a conflict by a balancing change that reversed change back to spirit. But if change to spirit continued without a stop, all would be spirit without mind or matter. This would destroy the ultimate purpose of the Creation. So change was reversed back to matter(Body). This was the ultimate cyclical change. It was also the ultimate moderation and stability between spiritual-rational-material (Sensual) values. It was the Ultimate Creation of the ultimate balancing trinity of spirit-mind-matter (Body). It was the ultimate dynamic system of knowledge that was a balancing, harmonious trinitized unity of diversity. It was the ultimate systematic good.

From this simple Ultimate Creation of the Trinity of Knowledge came other principles of knowledge that are basically in all knowledge. "In the image of" the Ultimate Trinity of Spirit-Mind-Matter(Body), came the trinity of knowledge, of God-Man-Nature, and knowledge of the trinity of man with his spirit-mind-body. From these trinities branched the trinity of Theology-philosophy-Science with its trinity of Divinities-Humanities-Sciences. These cosmic trinities break down to further trinities, down to subatomic trinities like the electron-neutron-proton.

Beside the previous italicized keyword-principles that are inherent in the Ultimate Creation of the Ultimate Trinity of Knowledge, there are other inherent principles, some of which are: balanced distribution, cause/effect, control, cumulative, goal, judgement, negative-neutral-positive, order, perspective, progressive ranges, proportion, purpose, rationality, relative, standard, symmetry and values. These principles are inherent in eight structures. These structures are simple drawings, like that of a balance scale. The principles define the parts, functions, relationships, and interrelationships of the eight structures. The structures are a means to understanding dynamic systems of knowledge.

Basically, from one simple paragraph, about the Ultimate Creation, most knowledge of God-Man-Nature, in terms of principles, may be deduced from it, or induced to it. Its few principles are ultimate source of most, if not all knowledge. As these structures and their principles apply to all branches of knowledge, they are a basis for a pending Grand Unifying Theory. They are a basis for the philosophy of Trinityism.

The potential of this unifying, trinitized knowledge makes it possibly the next great advance in the mind of man. It does for ideas what numbers did for mathematics, what words do for language, what the clock does for time, and what the map does for space. It makes the spirit-mind-body of man to be the means for making him to be a Renaissance Man of many arts, sciences, and skills.

A more extensive explanation of this Ultimate Creation may be found in the author's book, Ultimate Principles, Volume I.

QUESTIONS ABOUT THE ULTIMATE CREATION

What is the Ultimate Creation? It is the beginning of the universe of knowledge. Only the Ultimate Mystical Mystery, the unknown something, in the Ultimate Creation could have made the ultimate change from spiritual unity to material diversity.

What Is the Ultimate Creator? Ultimate things are created from something, that is created from its opposite of nothing. There can be no nothing without a comparing it to something, to an opposite. To make this unknown known , the word Spirit is given to it. The universe is a material diversity. The opposite of material diversity is Spiritual Unity. So from the Spiritual Unity came material diversity. Something had to make the ultimate change from spirit to matter. That had to be the Ultimate Creator, as an aspect of the Ultimate Unity of Spirit.

What Is the Basis for the Ultimate Trinity? In the Creation, between Spiritual-Material, Unity-Diversity, and Creator-Created, there had to be change, as in trinity of spirit-change-matter(Body). Change is equivalent to Time/Motion/Space. So in the Creation there had to be trinities of Change-(Time/Motion/Space)-Matter(Body), and of Creator-Change-Created. All trinities off the Ultimate Trinity may be categorized under the generic trinity of Negative-Neutral-Positive values. Human trinities and values may categorized under Spiritual-Rational-Sensual values.

What Is the Basis for the Trinity of Sprit-Mind-Body? From out of the Unity of Spirit there was created the Trinity of Spirit-Change-Matter, or Spirit-(T/M/S)-Matter. T/M/S is a rational concept. A rational concept is an aspect of a mind. As Mind is a rational synthesis of Spirit and Matter, and an aspect of the body, and body is an aspect of matter, so the trinity of Spirit-Change-Matter parallels that of Spirit-Mind-Body.

How Do Spirit and Soul Differ? To distinguish Spirit in the Ultimate Trinity, from Spirit as the Ultimate Unity and Creator, Spirit is Soul when not part of a trinity. The Ultimate Trinity is an aspect of the Ultimate Unity. So the Creator is called Ultimate Soul; while Spirit in the Trinity is called Spirit. They are the same otherwise.

How Do Creation Principles Apply Diversely?: Theologically: Out of the Ultimate Unity of Soul (God), there was created the Ultimate Being-trinity of Spirit-Mind-Body (Jesus), that was the ultimate good (Godlike) for man, who is "in the image of Trinity of God". Philosophically: Out of the Ultimate Unity of Spirit was created the Ultimate Trinity of Spirit-Change-Matter and the rational order of the balancing universe with its spiritual-rational-sensual values and knowledge. Scientifically: Out of the ultimate unity of energy was created the material trinity of the atom, E=MC², and the balancing material universe of negative-neutral-positive values and knowledge.

What Is the Ultimate Basis for Man's Free will? In effect, evil was not created by the Ultimate Creator. The Creator created only the potential for evil. This potential was left for the trinity of man, who is "in the image of God." His spiritual will says "No" to his sensual will that says "Yes", while his rational free will says "Maybe" before judging to join one side or the other to determine what he does in life. Man is free to deny evil by his self-disciplined, self-controlled, rational, free-willed judgement, or by the choice of his conscience.

What is the "Tree of Knowledge"? Out of the Ultimate Unity of the Ultimate Creator came the Ultimate Trinity of Knowledge, from which came all other knowledge. Out of the seed of the Ultimate Unity came the Ultimate Trinity with the three trunks of the Tree of Knowledge. Out of the spiritual trunk came spiritual theological, transcendent knowledge. Out of the rational trunk came rational, philosophical human knowledge. Out of the material (Sensual) trunk came observable material, scientific, natural knowledge. From the trunks of theology-philosophy-science came the knowledge of God-Man-Nature.

What Does Human Knowledge Lead to? Human knowledge leads toward answering the Primary Questions of Living. These are: Who am I? Why am I here? What is my purpose and reason for being? How achieve my purpose? How achieve goals with the least conflict and frustration? How resolve conflicts? What is true, moral, just and beautiful? How achieve happiness with harmony? How maintain gains?

What Are the Primary Purposes in Life? In sequential order of their priority and achievement, they are, Survival, Non-hardship(Non-pain), Security, Free will, Self-realization, Self-fulfillment, Self-perfection and Happiness. This happiness is limited by the ultimate duty of Moderation to enable the Primary Social Purposes of Society, which are the same, in principle, as the purposes of the individual and of the Ultimate Trinity.

What is the Ultimate Purpose in Life? The Primary Purposes in Life lead to the ideal Ultimate Purpose in Life, which is to be "in the image of" the Ultimate Trinity that is all good and has no evil. It is to fulfill one's spiritual-rational-sensual potential to the maximum, consistent with one's dominant being. This fulfillment is moderated by having a rational, rhythmic, harmonious unity between these values within the self. This Self-perfection is then moderated (The Primary Duty)to have the Social perfection of an Harmonious unity with the Primary Purposes of God-Man-Nature. Any goal to achieve this ultimate good and happiness will be good; any goal to deny it will be bad. This is the basis for a universal ethical system.

What Is the Basic Nature of Man? The trinity of man, who is "in the image of" the Ultimate Trinity, is governed by the same principles as in the Ultimate Trinity. Man, like the Ultimate Trinity, is a trinity of spiritual-rational-sensual beings, but is dominant in one of his beings. This determines how his purpose, principles, and values differs from other individuals, but may be in harmony with them.

What Is an Ultimate Principle? An ultimate principle is what is inductively derived by unifying facts into concepts, concepts into principles, principles into ultimate principles, and these into the Ultimate Trinity and Ultimate Unity. Beyond the Ultimate Unity there is no other knowledge; except that of the ultimate mystery of the Ultimate Creator.

What Is the Ultimate Source of Knowledge? The philosophical Ultimate Creation begins with the Ultimate Unity as the Ultimate Creator and premise. As the Ultimate Premise, all knowledge may be logically deduced from it, or to it, and be coherently unified by it. In the logical process of induction, the diversity of facts become the harmony of concepts, that become the trinity of principles, that merge into the unity of the Ultimate Oneness. The Ultimate Unity is the Ultimate Creator that is the ultimate source of knowledge. The Ultimate Trinity is the Ultimate Distributor of knowledge. Together, they are a basis for a Grand Unifying Theory for most, if not all knowledge.

How is the philosophy of Trinityism a GUT-Theory? In the philosophy of Trinityism, fifty keyword-principles, are used to define the parts, functions, relationships and interrelationships of eight simple trinitized structures. These structures and their keyword-principles may be used to define, illustrate, relate, develop and unify the universe of knowledge in terms of principles. The keyword-principles are ultimate premises, to which most knowledge may be induced to, or deduced from. As common elements in most branches of knowledge, the structures and their principles enable knowledge to be a unity with a diversity of coherent truth.

What is the "Building block" and "Framework" of Knowledge? As the atom is a "building-block" of material knowledge, so the Trinity Structure, based on the Ultimate Trinity, is a "building block" of the knowledge of God-Man-Nature. From the Trinity Structure other structures are extended to be the unifying "framework of knowledge". These key-structures are, Cycle, Balance, Trinity, No-value Trinity, Progressive Range, Perspective, Balanced Distribution and Cumulative. Most knowledge may be explained, illustrated, related, developed unified by these eight structures and their inherent keyword-principles.

How Do Creation Principles Relate to All Knowledge? The structures and their keyword-principles apply to what extends downward from the Ultimate Trinity, down to theology-philosophy-science and down to the relative quantity, quality, degree and range of values, from the universe to man, to the subatomic quark. The structures and principles deal with knowledge as it integrates-unifies-disintegrates in the constant balancing cyclical changes within and between trinities. All of these balancing, cyclical changes maintain the unchanging entity of the whole that began with the Ultimate Creation of the universe. Science calls these balancing unchanging-changes, the "Conservation Law".

The Trinitarian structures and their principles apply to theology-philosophy-science; as well as to mathematics, engineering, the arts and other disciplines. The relative facts and truths of these disciplines may differ and change, but their trinitized principles and structures are the same and unchanging. The Trinitarian philosophy began with a revelation that said, "All things change, yet nothing changes; all is diverse, yet all is one." It took forty years to decipher this paradoxical maxim as a universal, eternal truth. This deciphering is summed up by metaphorically saying that the balance scale parts change, yet the whole balance scale never changes; the balance scale is one as a whole, yet it is diverse as a trinity. The dynamic balance scale is"in the image of" the dynamic Ultimate Trinity.

What follows is a graphic outline, using Trinitarian structures, of the sequential order in the process of developing the Ultimate Creation of Knowledge:
