Pre-Existence

The previous section explained that the dynamism in existence is sourced from:

• the desire of the Creator to create things
• the rule that all created things must be unique

All Ideas are Static, All Movement Comes from Minds

A Creator is above, or superior to, its creations.

Since Existence is only made up of ideas and feelings, then it follows that the Creator is above its ideas and feelings, even the idea of space and time.

This means that all possible ideas have already been created (time is finished) and that the dynamism has already worn-off, since there is no more addition-action.

To the Creator, all ideas have settled into perfection and are therefore static.

However, this is opposite of our assertion that the Universe is dynamic, as we can plainly see. Even our ideas change, so how can ideas be static?

This is because the staticity of ideas are from the viewpoint of the Absolute, before or after it takes the role of a Creator. This Absolute is in its own domain which we call ‘Pre-Existence’.

As this domain is above Existence, it does not exist. Rather it is entirely probabilistic or theoretical.

In Applied Superphysics, especially in Material Superphysics, this is leads to the ‘Probability Layer’.

This Pre-Existence is a concept created to explain how Existence is generated arbitrarily or probabilistically by desire. This is why the control of desire is:

• one of the central tenets of Hinduism and Buddhism, and
• an important part of Islam which is imposed through fasting, charity, and modesty.

Since ideas are static, it follows that it is the mind and its consciousness that moves from idea to idea in order to create compound ideas and experiences. This creates action and reaction, which are explained in the next chapter.
