Prologue:

The strength of any work containing postulates is in the verification of the postulates. With this work, a critical portion (the first six postulates) is dealing with a fundamental unity outside of all perception. Therefore, unfortunately, direct perceptual verification of the postulates and their derived theorems is almost impossible. If everything is One including the observer, it sure makes it difficult to see the unity. The old cliché may apply here: It is hard to see the whole picture while standing within the frame. Only direct experience and the knowledge it brings can act as verification of this material. How does one do that?

Perhaps a quick look at what other mystics or mystical writings say can shed some light on this matter. All quotations are loosely taken, and all are a variation of the same theme:

Simply do this: Be still, and lay aside all thoughts of what you are and what God is; all concepts you have learned about the world; all images you hold about yourself. Empty your mind of everything it thinks is either true or false, good or bad, of everything it judges worthy, and all ideas of which it is ashamed. Hold onto nothing. Do not bring with you one thought the past has taught, nor one belief you ever learned before from anything. Forget this world, forget this course, and come with wholly empty hands unto your God.⁹

What is the common theme in all these? A one-point focus, a cessation of all temporal thoughts/desire sets, a being present. Still, empty and waiting is what these all have in common. Some of the statements include an awareness of something greater.

To verify any postulate, a set of conditions must be met that the postulate refers to. One postulate in geometry: If a line is perpendicular to one of several parallel lines, it is perpendicular to all the parallel lines. Without the conditions involved, a set of parallel lines and a non-parallel line, it is impossible to verify this postulate.

To set up the conditions to verify a postulate that involves God the Eternal, all temporal/spatial references must be dropped within the individual who wishes to verify. Unfortunately, this infers ego dissolution, and the ego will kick and scream all the way, for this implies its death. So the requisite conditions are rarely met; no conditions -- no verification. When the conditions are met, the individual participates in the actuality that is God and is considered a saint by those who have not met the conditions. They perform wonders that are to him/her/it simplicity itself.

It is within the seventh postulate of Chapter 2 and its attendant theorems that the relationship between Truth and untruth can be perceptually examined. This is because this is the level where perception originates, and so this is the level where perceptual verification becomes possible. The relationship between Truth and untruth; the Eternal to the temporal/spatial, can be seen in the relationship between the laws of physics and physical form.

A definition for Truth in this book: Laws by which something works.¹¹ The something, in this instance, is Creation (physical and metaphysical). The laws of physics, being the laws by which physical form works must match the conditions that Truth meets. They must be Eternally constant -- which, they are. If they were not, there would be no continuity of physical form; there would be no studies of physics or mathematics.

The laws of physical form must be outside of perception -- which, they are. What we see is only the effects of the forces or interactions and not the actual forces themselves. Who has seen gravity? What colors are the laws of motion? We see how gravity or the laws of motion effect matter, but we cannot see the cause of these effects. We can only infer their presence.

The laws of physics, like Truth, happen everywhere at once; are Eternally constant; invisible and formless; and yet it is that which is behind the existence of all physical form.

In terms of verifying or refuting the postulates and other information in this work, the bottom line is this: The only way either can be done is, if the individual drops all or most of their finite temporal/spatial references. Which is the general effect when one does what the majority of the saints and mystics have suggested to do over the last few thousand years.

In dropping these references, there will be a distinctive change within the individual. Truth works when correctly applied. It does not matter whether you believe in it or not. As long as the proper conditions are met -- that are relevant to the Truth -- something will happen. Belief or recognition of God is not necessary, but it can be helpful.

If an individual sets up the proper conditions and does become One with God, that individual will be able to both verify and refute this work at the same time. Verification in terms of the relatively accurate use of communication symbols (i.e., words), and refuting in terms of the words are not the reality.

This book is a construct just as the mathematical formulas for gravitic forces, Coulomb's law, motion, etc., are symbolic constructs. The same can be said of the Tao te Ching, Kabbalah, or A Course in Miracles, etc.; they are also symbolic constructs. The symbolic construct may represent a reality, but it is not the reality itself.

You can study what others have said about the laws of physics your whole lifetime, and if you do not apply what you have learned, you will not be able to walk. Just as the word 'gravity' has little relationship with the force that holds you to this planet and binds solar systems and galaxies together, the words of this work have very little to due with the actuality that is Almighty God.
