The Metaphysical Priority of Existence.

Post by Steven »

Though existence is a difficult concept to deal with, insofar as language and terminology find themselves faced with the insurmountable primacy of existence, it is nonetheless a concept dealing with the fundamental absolute of the valid subject. The metaphysical priority of existence comes not from its position as some ludicrous force of creation, but from guiding the mind towards the understanding of the governance of simple fact and logic over the physical.

Many will drone on at length over the fundamental priority of this or that God, some Universal Consciousness etc. as the root explaination of everything that puzzles them, failing to realise that a single metaphysical principle not only governs these spurious primal claims, but defines the boundaries, laws, rules and becomes the canvas upon which all else, all subsequent must adhere to.

Existence is remarkeably simple. It is nothing more and nothing less than being what it is you are. There is no need to define these terms in an overly complex manner, shoehorning vast personal philosophies into the midst, there is only the need to understand that the fundamental state of things cannot avoid existing. It is impossible for the basic fact, the basic truth to not exist. Should this be the case, that the basic fact and truth of everything we see and know does not exist, then there is nothing, which is the new existing basic state. Should we try to do away with existence altogether, and state that "there is no existence" then this becomes the existing fact of the way of things, or it becomes no fact, no truth, no state at all.

The metaphysical priority of Existence is metaphysical and prior because it is the single fundamental principle that governs all regression, defines all manifestation, and refutes all negation. We see the influence of the indecisive yet thoroughly absolute logical progression of this simple principle at work at the centre of the physical machinations of our relative and probabilistic Universe. The more we learn of the physical, and the more some of us apply ourselves to the metaphysical, the more we will understand that the perplexing and indefinable self evident immediacy of reality is, its self, the alpha and omega of all.
