Reality of Existence
The fact that religious people believe in the God of the Bible, the All-Minded Creation of Buddhism, and the Allah of the Koran is probably because they want to realize and be certain that our human existence is a being that contains some kind of divinity.
The basic logic of Hegel's dialectics is 'A is not non-A, so it is A', that is, it is against the three-stage argument that 'A=B, or if A=B and B=C, then A=C'.
However, in order to realize divinity, I would like to recommend the 'Logic of Existence' from my college days to you again using Hegel's logic of negation.
That is, Hegel explains a stone in a stream as a stone that 'exists to the extent that it opposes all external beings that negate the stone'. So Hegel said that through constant self-negation, A develops from an in-itself existence to an in-itself existence, and then again to the stage of dialectical self-recovery of the in-itself-for-itself.
However, Hegel developed a strong sense of self-existence and the unity of the in-itself struggle and sublation. In other words, he showed a new view of history of affirmation through the negation of negation. It seems that the basis of existence is that A can be A and has the power to exist against the surrounding conditions.
Regarding this, Wonhyo suggested the method of reconciliation in 'Theory of Awakening Faith of Mahayana.' I think it was the development of reconciliation through neutralization. Wonhyo seems to have presented the theory of true nature, suggesting that any development can find harmony and reach the truth.
Here, the common point between Hegel and Wonhyo is that Hegel presented the three-stage dialectical evolution of the development of history, which is the universal pursuit of truth pursued by mankind, while Wonhyo presented the 'gate of true nature', which is not fundamentally different from our belief in God and pursuit of divinity.
However, Hegel, who saw the existence and development of the physical body as the basis of existence, and Wonhyo, who saw the logic of true nature only as the mind of the whole, lacked the holistic viewpoint that the existence of all things is a dimensionally complex existence that expands into various dimensions and evolves together.
This is because, as divine beings, we humans, other animals, plants, all living things, and all of nature, which is a greater being, the Earth itself, all possess a divine fragment, but they only have different forms because their levels of completion are different.
So, the view that all beings that we can see are beings with their own characteristics composed of a complex (triad) of information body (智身), energy body (氣身), and physical body (肉身) is the holistic view. In other words, it is an aspect that unfolds under the action of 'evolutionary pressure' in which the universe is composed of a multidimensional unity and the lower dimension cannot help but evolve into the upper dimension.
In other words, when we look around the world, various plant resources, stones, various animals, microorganisms, social structures, systems, and institutions are the characteristics of the consciousness of each physical existence.
Here, the dialectical materialist view of history that Marx spoke of 'social existence determines social consciousness' is nothing more than the characteristics of the social structure that the members of that society thought about and promoted.
Therefore, it can be said that the consciousness of a person is not the consciousness that is reflected in matter, but the mental state of the consciousness is the external expression of the material characteristics.
A single sugar, a single grain of sand, a maple tree, and an azalea are all unique characteristics, that is, their properties determine their sweetness, and their structure determines their saltiness, and the leaves with red information express their pink petals.
The 'reality of existence' is not only a natural existence, the physical body, but also all structures and institutional characteristics of social and cosmic existence.
We humans are born as a divine being, grow, and gradually die. This is because the universe repeats the negative phase and the positive phase according to the rhythm of yin and yang, that is, the 'law of energy progression',
and we mistakenly believe that death causes disappearance.
The existence of a conscious body is the process of eternal evolution in the structure, arrangement, density, and information dimension.
When we can understand this, we can say that life is eternal.
Jesus preached this 2,000 years ago, but even at that time, Jesus' mantra (logia) was removed and he also walked the way of the cross. Now, if Jesus appears again, the masses will do the same. We must aspire to become mature fruits, and immature fruits will gradually become fruitful as time passes. In this way, the phenomenal world will appear and disappear by the reality of existence.(fin)…
