Chapter 15

Where do we live according to essenceism?

To answer this question, it is necessary to imagine everything we know as well as what we do not know.

First, imagine a spatial vision of our Earth existing in the surroundings of the universe. Then one would have to imagine the universe as a structure functioning inside a certain "space", called in many places in this study a sphere outside of time and space. In the structure of space-time in the universe, all forms of matter and energy known to us exist (for example dark energy, dark matter or elementary particles) and all laws of natural sciences. Unfortunately, we know practically nothing about the sphere surrounding the universe beyond time and space

This is the beginning of the analysis of the state of the universe that surrounds us according to essenceism.

Our Earth is, of course, part of the cosmos. The question is, what part of it? Unfortunately, very small, almost unimaginably insignificant. On the other hand, we feel as if we were alone in the entire cosmos, aspiring to the position of rulers of omnipotence. From the physical point of view, such a total rule of the universe is absurd. It looks completely different from the point of view of man's spirituality, or the eternal existence of his spiritual person. However, this is a topic that has been considered "theological" until now. However, essenceism attempts to capture it in a new way. It is about belonging the second, eternal part of our life to the sphere beyond time and space, that is to the spiritual world. I write about it in two themes in this study, i.e. in the chapters: "The spiritual world" and "spiritual beings".

From this reasoning it follows that man, as an eternal spiritual person, can actually penetrate without limitations of time and space to any place covering both the universe and the sphere outside it. Thus, the spiritual person lives as a ubiquitous citizen of both space-time and spheres beyond time and space. In this situation, we can actually feel like the rulers of the universe or like gods. Anyway, deriving from the Original Being, that is, from the "theological" Creator, we inherit from him the attributes of eternity and omnipresence. It is a very building knowledge, though it does not take into account the existence of evil. I write about it on my website www.istota.org
