Reality as a Whole and Metaphysics

But first, a preliminary note. A non-self-referential tautology always implies a restriction of its referent context with respect to reality as a whole. Otherwise, there would be no place left to formulate it in which it could avoid referring to itself. There is just one obvious context which cannot be restricted in this way: reality as a whole. This, of course, is the universe of any theory of metaphysics. Like propositional logic, a metaphysical theory must be formulated within the context to which it refers. So, given our "relaxed" definition of tautology, it will be understood that tautology becomes self-referential by necessity at the "meta­physical limit" of predicate-logical theorization.

Note also that the cognitive syntax of the human mind - the time-invariant aspect of human mental functionabi1ity - qualifies as a tautology in the same self-referential sense as does metaphysics. Whatever it considers - itself and everything else - it must con­sider within its own definitive constraints. In other words, it can consider its own structure and operation only within its own structure and by its own operation, and everything else (all which is outside or beyond it) only as an externalized potentialization of itself (i.e., as that which can be considered within it). If the phrase "itself and everything else" seems suspiciously close to the phrase "reality as a whole" - the "universe of metaphysics" mentioned above - then you already glimpse what must follow.


From: http://megasociety.org/noesis/76/05.htm

Here we see that reality as a whole and the human mind qualifies as a tautology. At a certain level they are identical. If reality is an identity. And so is the human mind. Then the consciousness inherent in the human mind and the consciousness inherent in reality achieve mathematical closure at the ultimate level of existence. The highest dimensions in which reality is seen. The ability to see such a reality requires that one become a special sort of identity. However, this may only be achieved if one's genetic code enables one to venture into the higher dimensions via gifted genetics. Parallelism and metaphysics is understood to be a reality and the evidence for God is laid out to bare for all with the eyes to see.
