The new metaphysical system: a.An open passive system powered by a
closed active system wherein the whole of the closed system is
itself passive and the whole of the open system is active. b.An
open active system 'containing' a totally independent closed
passive system wherein elements of the open active system found
'within' the closed passive system are generated independent of the
open active system As complicated as such statements may appear,
the system itself is actually quite simple: (Simple Diagram of
System Composed of Three Elements: The Whole, The Physical
Universe, The Individual) The Aristotelian metaphysical system
evolved in the 1st millennium. The Kant/Hegel metaphysical system
evolved in the 2nd millennium. Eventually a new all-encompassing
metaphysical system will evolve in the 3rd millennium. The
development of the metaphysical system of the 1st millennium
accompanied us as our species explored the concept of geographical
'rights'. The development of the metaphysical system of the 2nd
millennium accompanied us as our species explored the concept of
global 'rights'. A new metaphysical perception needs to emerge
which will dominate our expansion into the vast depths of the
universe. Such a system will by necessity need to match our
advances in both technology and extraterrestrial cultural
intrusions and intrusiveness. If such a metaphysical system does
not emerge, history will repeat itself. The time periods involving
the exploration of the globe and the initial explorations of the
Americas, Africa, and the East by the West lead to horrific human
and environmental trauma supported by perceptions of geographic
'rights'. This trauma was not unique to Western action. The
'inhumanity' imposed upon individuals was generated by both the
East and the West. Human geographical 'rights' are in the process
of conceding their status to global 'rights.' Such 'rights' will
have no less a negative impact upon the frontiers of the universe
than geographical 'rights' had upon the frontiers of our planet.
How do we avoid repeating our species past negative acts? We can do
so by establishing a universal philosophy based upon a foundation
of new metaphysical thought. The result is the development of a
foundation for action derived from rational thought rather than
depending upon a foundation for action derived from examination of
past actions steeped in horrific negativity. How is one to
accomplish such a monumental 'leap' in human behavior? One must
identify the foundation of action which created the past history of
human negativity and modify the foundation. And what is the
foundation of human behavior which initiates human action? The
foundation for human behavior is metaphysical thought, metaphysical
perception. We are what we think we are. We are a species which
acts based upon what it rationally perceives itself to be, believes
itself to be, sees itself to be. In short we are what philosophy,
religion, and science defines us to be. If such is the case, then
what is it that science, religion, and philosophy have been
debating for the last twenty-five hundred years? Religion, science,
and philosophy have been debating the legitimacy of Cartesianism
versus non-Cartesianism. Simplified the statement becomes: Which is
correct, monism or dualism? The philosophical debate: Either
awareness of awareness, intentionality, knowing is an innate
characteristic of the physical or it is not. The religious debate:
Either there is a soul or there is not. The scientific debate:
Either awareness, consciousness is an innate characteristic of the
physical or it is not.
