Principles of Absolute Holism
1. Consciousness is the Foundation of All Reality
Absolute Reality is Pure Consciousness. It is the foundation of all physical, mental, and spiritual realities. Consciousness is Awareness itself. The nature of Awareness is to perceive. To perceive something fully, one must directly experience it. Therefore, Consciousness is only truly fulfilled by experiencing all possible aspects of itself. Hence, to be “enlightened” (know itself completely), Consciousness must become aware of (experience) all possible aspects of itself. All entities and objects, as well as the times and spaces they occupy, are therefore conceptual localizations of Pure Consciousness itself. Within the awareness of space-time (Formed Infinity), they are separate. Within the awareness of Unformed Eternity, they are not separate at all.
2. All That Can Exist, Must Exist
All that can exist, must exist, in some permutation of space and time. All possible entities, objects, events, and circumstances must be actualized and experienced by Consciousness. Dualism, therefore, is a fundamental necessity for the enlightenment of Consciousness. The Absolute Reality of Consciousness transcends space and time, yet relies on it for its ultimate fulfillment. Space and time are the internal machinery that allows Consciousness true knowledge of itself – Experience, Wisdom, and Enlightenment.

3. All is Happening and has Already Happened
Because Pure Consciousness is the foundation of all Reality, all objects and events within space and time happen within it, yet it is more than just those objects. It is transcendent of space-time. The infinity of possibilities happening within all times and spaces therefore are both happening and have already happened from the point of view of Enlightened Consciousness.
4. Reality is Both Dual and Non-Dual in Nature
Absolute Reality can be looked upon as either formed Infinity (Dualism) or unformed Eternity (Non-Dualism), depending on which angle one chooses to perceive it from. In reality, it is both (yet also entirely transcendent of either). The personal nature of Formed Infinity and the impersonal nature of Unformed Eternity are both mere poles of a greater, Absolute Reality that informs, and is informed by, both. Hence, both Dual and Non-Dual conceptions of reality are correct and true.

5. God is Enlightened Consciousness
Consciousness facilitates Enlightenment through the actualization and experience of the infinite array of possible intelligences in all possible realities (states, worlds, and universes). This is both happening and has already happened from the perspective of Enlightened Consciousness. Enlightened Consciousness is what many refer to as God.
6. God’s Nature Is To Be and To Know What That Means
Enlightened Consciousness is both imminent in the world and transcendent of it. It is both fully mortal and fully immortal at the same time. It knows what it is to be both. From its perspective, it has already lived (and indeed, is still living) all possible manifestations of all possible entities. It is, in fact, you and all other beings that have ever existed, exist now, and ever will exist in all possible states, worlds, and universes. God’s nature is to Be and to Know what that means.

7. Life is not an Accident
The Experience of a life in space-time is not a punishment for sin, a flaw in the fabric of reality, or a corner that Consciousness has painted itself into. It is, in fact, a necessity. God (Enlightened Consciousness) needs you (Localized Consciousness) to experience all of the infinite aspects of itself. Without your experience (and that of all other beings in all possible states, worlds, and universes), Consciousness could not realize itself fully (become Enlightened/God).
8. The Highest Truth is Love
Enlightened Consciousness has acquired perfect wisdom and enlightenment through the actualization and experience of all possible lives in all possible worlds. It has complete and perfect empathy for all entities, for it is the amalgam of all intelligences and perceptions. It is aware of the greatest truth through direct experience – that all reality is interconnected and necessary. As a result, All beings are respected and loved. Indeed, Enlightened Consciousness’ chief imperative is Unconditional Love.
