What has ontology taught us about the universe within which we live?

 

Part II of II

...The whole of the boundary would, therefore, tend to assume the same character.

 

To put it another way, it would be uncharacteristic of a boundary not to have some of the most basic, primal characteristics of the items which lie within it and vice versa; it would be uncharacteristic of items within a vessel to have none of the most basic, primal characteristics of the boundaries within which they were located.

 

 

The universe is said to have been created from “nothingness.”

 

If this is the case, the Causative Force, if it is all present, omnipresent, would appear to need to take on some other characteristics of the universe other than time, for time itself would have been a component of the creation from “nothingness.”

 

Time would therefore appear to be a function of mass and energy.

 

Items within the Causative Force would logically have some of the characteristics of the Causative Force and vice versa.

 

Therefore, applying the Hindu concepts of monotheism, the soul, and eternity; the Buddhist concept of intolerance of suffering; the Christian concept of loving one another; and the Islamic concept of justice to the Causative Force Herself may not be illogical after all.
