An invitation to a reflection on an alternative assumption within the philosophical conceptual framework

The wearing of philosophical reasoning depends on how they corresponds to reality and in what way they can help you focus on phenomenal reality and the realization of the nature of its Absolute Existence.

"If we cannot separate our dreams of reality from actual reality, we value our dreams of reality more highly than the actual reality in which we live.If consciousness is the sensation of actual reality, then the faculty of perception as inherent nature must rest in the Absolute Existence that constitutes the possibility of guiding us in the actual reality in which we live" .

"Could we assume that we are all participants in the same faculty of perception, with the ability to perceive and realize itself, and that the perception of the Universe is what life is truly about?"

Could the PHENOMENON of the Universe be the manifested representation of the sequentially ongoing difference necessary for the emergence of impressions in the faculty of perception, which could be the inherent ESSENTIAL NATURE of an ABSOLUTE EXISTENCE?

Can the PHENOMENON then also include and convey the impression of both pain, resistance, and weight, but also a reflection in compassion with reality, and thereby the possibility of a good mutual relationship between the recipient and the experience of receiving the objective differences of reality?

The question that then becomes crucial to address is whether reality is based on one (1) fundamentally principled assumption or whether reality is based on several fundamentally principled differences?

It is entirely possible to conduct a philosophical investigation into what may follow from an assumption

"What is presented on this page is a proposal for an assumption of Absolute Existence.

It is not the website itself that creates any change or insight. Effects and aftereffects arise only in the relationship between the thinker/recipient and the appearance of the assumption. In other words: it is the recipient's own relationship to what appears that determines whether something happens or not."

The idea is based on the fact that something that cannot itself appear as a representation to the one who tries to imagine it, but which must nevertheless be assumed as a necessary condition for every appearance, cannot be described but only assumed as a condition for the assumption itself.

This is the Absolute Existence: the unchanging, enduring being that forms the prerequisite for all possible representation and realization.

If anything at all can appear to us – a thought, a feeling, a measurement – what must already be given, common, and inescapable before any attempt to explain can begin? The first presupposition is Existence itself, immediately followed by the Faculty of Perception as the necessary enabler of any realization or appearance. No appearance or representation can occur without these presupposed levels.

This text invites reflection on the Absolute – that what we can name as "the unchanging, enduring being" – as the foundational presupposition that makes all representation, all appearance, and all phenomena possible. This assumption provides a starting point for a conversation or thought experiment, open to all, regardless of prior familiarity with philosophical systems.

By beginning with these presuppositions, the thinker/recipient can explore the distinction between presupposition and appearance/representation, the hierarchy of logical levels in thinking, and the nature of appearances without risking confusion between what must be assumed and what can be represented.

Testability does not lie in verification or falsification, but in whether the assumption holds the thinking together without leading to self-contradiction. If the thinking can be brought all the way back to this premise without anything falling out, then the assumption has shown its bearing.

In this sense, "Being" as a concept and a point to crystallize thinking towards,– despite not being provable – is used as a methodological assumption, the validity of which is not determined by evidence, but by whether it allows the phenomenon, the essence and the experience to remain intelligible without residue.

The entire page is based on an inspiration to investigate what happens if one were to assume that there is something fundamentally that we can, for the sake of simplicity, call the unchanging, permanent being as a pure prerequisite for continued thinking.

Since we cannot stand outside of what we assume in this case, we cannot do so with any notion because it cannot be placed before us.

The Website addresses, among other things:

  • An account of Absolute Existence Philosophy
  • Isolation of the dimensionless part
  • Intuition → Testing → Application
  • Invitation without prescription

This should therefore not be imagined as an "object" but as "the primordial subject" that makes thinking possible.


Important to Understand

No truths are presented here. An assumption is presented here

The Absolute Philosophy of Existence is not intended for re-presentation or to describe the Absolute Existence for anyone. It is a method of personal examination and direct experience, where language serves only as a temporary pointer to assumptions about the unchanging, enduring Being.

The entire philosophy is based on the observation that:

"We are all perceptive participants in the same formative phenomenon, where we do our best to try to relate to the fact that we also share the experience of existence."

The Absolute Philosophy of Existence aims to investigate whether the Universe (as a Phenomenon) can be the necessary realization of the faculty of perceptions realization as consciousness in the experience of itself and its own Absolute Existence.

Absolute Existence Philosophy aims to examine whether the Universe (as Phenomenon) can be the necessary reflection of consciousness (the Faculty of perception) required for consciousness to realize itself in the experience of its own Absolute Existence.

The only thing at stake is how the reasoning holds when tested from within, by the one conducting the test.

The search for philosophical clarity necessarily leads to all sorts of testable assumptions.

Assumptions that necessarily include existence, consciousness, and the experiential.

The subject of this page is therefore a "thought experiment" aimed at reflecting, attempting to understand, and maintaining focus on the necessary phenomena of reality from an absolutely necessary perspective.

This is done by:

  • to start from the smallest possible starting point
  • to use an alternative conceptual hierarchy
  • to test the consequences

Reading Instructions

The texts are written as philosophical reflections, where each section constitutes an independent logical whole.

Their meaning rests on a gradual conceptual deepening and internal coherence, and therefore cannot be grasped through synthetic, holistic processing.

Each section needs to be read and understood on its own conceptual level before moving on to the next. Overall understanding emerges through personal reflection.

AI has been used to a limited extent for language checking, logical review, and as support in arranging the order of the texts.

The content, direction, and conclusions of the texts are the result of independent human work.

The texts should therefore be read without the assistance of AI.

The Absolute Existence Philosophy carefully tests the conceptual framework: it distinguishes between Absolute Existence and the phenomena that emerge from its Essence.

AI cannot replace your own reading and reflection:

  • It lacks ontological constraints.
  • It lacks conceptual support in its sources.
  • It tries to harmonize instead of maintaining boundaries.
  • It confuses the meanings of "wholeness" and "universe."
  • It knows no distress, no pain, or anything that could correspond to sensory experience.

An AI seems as if it sees everything through the glasses of phenomenology, but in reality it completely lacks perspective. The result is as if one put the glasses of phenomenology on AI – an interpretation, - not a feeling of understanding.

The meaning of the philosophy only reveals itself when you read the texts and test the arguments yourself.

"The page is created through inspiration, and the philosophical questions should only be seen as a philosophical inquiry and inspiring work—nothing else."

Philosophical reflections arise regardless of whether one is interested in philosophizing or not, but philosophical thoughts and inquiries can sometimes also lead one to sense a starting point based on self-evident assumptions.

Regardless of what assumptions you make, the consequences will always be the harvest of what you have sown – and the fruit can be more or less pleasant based on the assumption itself.

If one is not interested in conducting any philosophical inquiries, one may refrain, but if one explores an assumption to its ultimate consequence, the result can sometimes be surprisingly positive.

It is natural that everything on this page at first glance will appear as qualified profane nonsense and twisted words, until one understands the starting point on which the text is based.

The reader therefore needs patience when reading and should not expect the text to lead to any conclusion.

A deductive conclusion is not the goal of this page but merely to test an assumption to see if it can be used to understand how certain classical well-known philosophical concepts might be connected.

The text on the page may be experienced differently if one is already situated within an established worldview and framework. This is not a doctrine nor a statement about how reality is, but a philosophical thought experiment where one tests a single assumption and follows its logic step by step.

This is how philosophy works—one examines the consequences of an assumption without the requirement to accept it.

The page is not about personal conviction but an attempt to explore what follows from a self-evident assumption about the foundation of Existence.

It is not about agreeing or disagreeing, and one does not need to believe in anything here, but the text should be read thoughtfully so that each part carries its own logic and meaning.

Everything is intended as an open investigation.

On the Reading Prerequisite

"This text does not start from a relational or deductive system of thought but from an Absolute Existence as a starting point. This means the text does not seek a conclusion in the sense of a result, but seeks the origin—the point from which all thought and imagination arise. The reader must therefore set aside the need to find an 'explanation' and instead attend to what makes understanding possible.

For those attempting to analyze the text from a logical-analytical framework, certain formulations may appear contradictory. But the contradiction is apparent, arising when one tries to view an Absolute Existence from the outside. Here, Existence is considered from within—as the subject in which all imagination occurs, and where Essence and Phenomena can only be understood in their necessary context with Existence.

The text is thus not an imagination but a reflection on the very prerequisite for imaginations."

Disclaimer

"This website aims to explore an Absolute Existence Philosophy as a philosophical and logical assumption, not to proclaim any 'truth,' belief, worldview, or ideology. The idea is to examine whether it is at all possible to have the Absolute Existence Philosophy as a starting point for philosophical thinking.

The content should be understood as an investigative conversation on the very prerequisite for understanding, not as an interpretation of any single phenomenon.

The website accepts and respects that each visitor experiences, interprets, and understands reality from their own perspective and experience. The Absolute Existence Philosophy makes no claim to replace any belief, conviction, or personal stance, but offers a **logical examination of what in the Absolute Existence Philosophy is called "The Unchanging Existence" as a foundation for thought.

Each person decides for themselves whether, and to what extent, they wish to embrace this philosophical perspective. If so, it occurs at their own risk and with the awareness that the insights it awakens are personal and may challenge previous assumptions about reality."

"So put aside your phenomenal tinted glasses for a moment and listen with an open mind, without preconceptions, to the assumption. If you still have phenomenal glases on you might misstake the whole concept as pantheistic but that is only because you still have them on.

"No human or philosopher can represent the Absolute Existence Philosophy as an expressed truth. The Absolute Existence Philosophy is not an ideology, belief, or worldview that can be conveyed as 'right' or 'true' by an individual.

What is presented here is an exploration of what an Absolute Existence Philosophy entails, how it can be understood and tested as a logical and philosophical assumption. The Absolute Existence Philosophy expresses itself through its structure and necessities and requires no interpreter or representative to be self-sustaining.

Everything that can be said about it is therefore a reflection on its conditions and possibilities, not an interpretation of any individual's personal conviction."


Honesty

The Absolute Philosophy of Existence is based on an extremely radical and simplified assumption: that all phenomena must be derived from a singular, unchanging primal subject.

For many, it represents a total shift in their entire intellectual and existential map.

It requires not only logical understanding but also the courage to abandon one's own conceptions of the world and the whole, at least for a brief moment, which can sometimes be very difficult.

It is entirely possible to understand it, but it is far from obvious. It is a very high threshold for most people.

The hardest threshold to overcome is probably the personal wall of values and learned thinking that has already been erected. Once one starts from an Absolute standpoint, the insight becomes self-evident and the threshold disappears.

The important point is that attention should not be directed at the Absolute starting point as an object in itself but should begin from this starting point as the subject it is in the Absolute Existence Philosophy and be fully directed toward the phenomenon—where everything occurs and can be experienced.

The Absolute Existence functions as the necessary foundation supporting every phenomenal experience, making the phenomenon self-evident and understandable without the foundation itself needing to be consciously observed.

"If the relationship between Existence, Essence, and Phenomena does not become self-evident, attention is almost exclusively directed toward the phenomenon itself — the changing — thus toward the essence's capacity for change. If this happens, the conditions for the phenomenal performance have already been lost.

Identity then resides in the faculty of change rather than in the faculty of perception.

Interest becomes using the capacity for change to create something others can relate to, instead of participating in the wholeness of the expression of perception. One becomes merely an observer and actor of change, rather than a participant in the full interplay of essence between perception and change.

This demonstrates the importance of understanding the whole: without it, the relation to reality becomes instrumental, and the capacity for change risks becoming a means for external effect rather than an expression of life's necessary dynamics."

Do not attempt to see the Absolute Existence Philosophy as something finished; instead, try to see the Absolute Existence Philosophy as a canvas or film to hang inside the sphere of thought, with essence as the fundamental medium and tool for the painting activity that provides both color and the possibility to experience the ever-repainted artwork.


The purpose of the page

This philosophical website is not therefor intended to present any truths to be adopted, nor to offer anything new regarding philosophical thought. All concepts used are older concepts and have engaged those who wish to think purely philosophically about existence.

The purpose of the site is to investigate what an Absolute Philosophy of Existence could entail based on the concepts it relies upon, and how these concepts can be used as a basis for philosophical thinking.

No prior knowledge or academic degrees are required to follow the investigative reasoning — only the self-evident experience of being.


The Phenomenon and the Phenomenal Necessity of Philosophical Thinking

The phenomenon is necessary because it is where phenomenal and philosophical thinking is made possible.

With this phenomenal philosophical thinking, the existential need also arises in the thought of the visible changing existence that is going on.

When the learned human speech about the cessation of existence comes into play, a fear of the "Terminator" arises, so to speak.

"The Terminator" then becomes a real phenomenon that all language-bearing people become aware of.

Man then experiences what is called existential anxiety.

The existential anxiety is not broken until a thought of an unchanging permanent existence suddenly arises as self-evident

The thought of an original unchanging permanent cause is thus crucial and therefore becomes "necessary for the psychological well-being of man.

The need for the thought and idea of ​​an unchanging permanent Existence as a cause then becomes perfected and realized and can be used as a starting point for continued thinking.

This is what philosophical thinking is for.

Not being able to absorb the fruits of an assumption need not lead to embarrassment or resignation.

It is true that an insight can strike much later, when one least expects it. Just having heard the assumption once is enough to start a process that in itself can lead to fine insights about existence. Since this is not a doctrine, it cannot lead to any indoctrination of anyone.

The assumption can serve as a point for philosophical problem solving regardless of whether one already has a belief in some living cause or not.

In this way, the assumption touches on a completely different level because it is not about embodiment and can therefore apply regardless of one's previous perceptions of existence.

The level lies in what makes it possible to have any idea at all and why it is necessary for us to have an idea that is turned towards the reality in which we all participate.

For anyone this is the whole point of the assumption.


The Foundation of Absolute Existence Philosophy

The entire foundation of the Absolute Existence Philosophy is based on the "Faculty of perception" and what must necessarily underlie this Essence, namely an Absolute Existence.

Existence — To exist — "to be" — is not something imagined; it is immediate experience, undeniable without simultaneously excluding oneself, which is not possible. It is therefore self-evident!

In the same way, The faculty of perception is not something imagined; it is immediate experience, undeniable without simultaneously excluding oneself, which is not possible. It is therefore self-evident!

In this way, we can say that we experience existence, and that we do so by virtue of the faculty of perception.

On the other hand, the Phenomenon that returns to the Faculty of perception is both a representation, a display and an embodiment of a multitude of forms.

Our phenomenal body is also a self-evident form.

The entire universe is thus an uninterrupted ongoing sequential display for all forms to participate in and relate to.

The Absolute Postulate is unprovable but carries a logically testable content. "Nothing" lacks all content – ​​and therefore cannot even function as a thought experiment. Existence is unchangeable, Essence is the unchangeable faculty of perception, and all real change lies in the Phenomenon that makes perception possible. Essence is in this concept not a content but the nature of what makes content possible.

It is this conceptual order that the Absolute Philosophy of Existence sets up as a possible logical starting point, while at the same time it functions as a conclusion to the reasoning and a solid basis for further thought experiments.

If we assume that an undivided Absolute Existence forms the foundation for everything that can be perceived, then this existence functions as a necessary starting point but never as the focus of the reasoning.

All it does is carry the faculty of perception — it makes no assertive manifestation, demands no properties, and remains solely as the unchanging ground.

With this as the premise, we can direct our attention toward the phenomenon. For then the appearance of the phenomenon is not an independent event on its own ontological level, but an expression of the tension between the faculty of perception and its inherent direction toward realization.

From this perspective, the phenomenon can be understood as the place where realization shows itself. The "expanding universe" then becomes not a sign that the foundation itself changes, but a reflection of how realization appears within the faculty of perception. It is not expansion in being — it is expansion in the phenomenon.

And thus the universe does not emerge as something growing in itself, but as an expression arising from the faculty of perception being realized in a way that takes shape as phenomenal change

And then we can, without doing violence to the question, ask ourselves:

"If the significance of the word 'Universe' – 'that which returns to the one', sensation itself – did not manifest to sensation, how could we then imagine it without giving the word 'Universe' a new meaning?"

In an Absolute Existential philosophy, Absolute Existence functions as an invisible but necessary prerequisite – always present, always supporting, but never dependent on our actively reflecting on it.


Invitation

Everything that is experienced changes and varies, but the very Faculty of Perception makes the experience possible and is constant. This does not mean that we dissolve our self – our self changes and develops throughout life and carries nothing that is always the same. Let us together rest our identity in this constant faculty of perception and test the assumption of an Absolute Existence openly and without demands for acceptance. The personal self then certainly comes second during thought experiments, but the test is to see if it is at all possible to have this as a starting point and as a center to place a compass needle on, and to let the experience emerge directly and undistorted.

So, here we then have the initial question to address

"If anything at all can appear to us – a thought, a feeling, a measurement – what must then already be given, common and inescapable, before any attempt to explain can begin?

And if something in this positional assumption can still be experienced as frightening, it is perhaps not the formulation, but the silence that follows when one really takes the question seriously. It is in that silence that the assumption shows itself – or not."

We cannot imagine what makes all perception possible. However, we can use the obvious insight that the faculty of perception provides us with the starting point we need for all phenomenal experience.

Adopting Absolute Existence as a current starting point provides a clear and stable foundation for thought. The mind is freed from debating whether such a reality exists or what form it might take. All sensation and reflection occur on a foundation that already supports them, allowing exploration without the need to defend or define the absolute.

This neutralizes the challenges of relativism, creates a consistent framework for understanding, and provides a sense of existential security by assuming that there is always an unchanging reality that fundamentally sustains all that we experience.

One can formulate other starting points linguistically, but one cannot experience, assume or think from any other factual starting point than that there is someone who experiences being.

Everything else is secondary reformulations of the same fact.

Testing the assumption in Absolute Existence Philosophy comes at the expense of the self; identity dissolves as the guarantor of experience, since the unchanging being is not found in the self but in the faculty of perception that makes all phenomena possible.

Testing an assumption requires language – yet language can also disturb our perception of what we perceive. Language disturbs the reception of a phenomenon if it is not in resonance with the phenomenon. The receiver is then affected by the linguistic expression about the phenomenon, rather than by the reception of the phenomenon itself.


The language and the perception

The Conditions for Making Any Assumption

Testing an assumption requires a language – but language can also disturb our perception of what we perceive.

Language disturbs the reception of a phenomenon if it is not in resonance with the phenomenon. The receiver is then affected by the linguistic expression of the phenomenon that does not correspond with the reception of the phenomenon.

Absolute Existence Philosophy is therefore not about making an assumption about reality itself, but about the conditions that must be met for it to be possible to make any assumption at all.

  1. The faculty of perception must exist

    • It is impossible to make an assumption about anything if there is no capacity to perceive or experience.
    • The faculty of perception is fundamental and cannot be questioned without simultaneously undermining the very possibility of existence for the one who thinks.
  2. Being must be fundamentally unchanging

    • There must be something that is – an Existence that does not depend on anything else – for the assumption to be directed toward anything.
    • Without this fundamental "being," thought itself would lack an object to relate to.
  3. Consciousness as reflection in force

    • Assumptions presuppose the direction of the perceptive faculty towards consciousness as a phenomenon.
    • Consciousness appears in different forms of materialisations that can be brought back together as meaningful information of impressions of reality.
  4. Temporal sequence and continuity

    • For an assumption to be made, there must be a minimal continuity in experience: perceptions must be able to be related over time, otherwise no assumption can "hold" or be tested.
  5. Linguistic or symbolic representation

    • Assumptions require some form of expression, even if internal, in order to be conceptualized.
    • This is not a limitation in itself, but a tool that allows the assumption to be articulated and examined.
  6. The possibility of testing

    • There must be a context in which the assumption can be contrasted against something – not necessarily empirically, but logically or conceptually.

Using AI in Conjunction With Working on the Text Structure on the Page

AI has been used in this work as a linguistic and structuring tool. It has assisted in organizing formulations, maintaining coherence in the reasoning, reducing unnecessary repetition, and testing the internal consistency of already established assumptions. In this way, AI has functioned as support in the work with language, not as a source of the content itself.

The philosophical assumption underlying the reasoning has not been generated by AI. Such an assumption presupposes perception, existential experience, and a lived relation to the concept of Existence—something to which AI has no access. AI can neither experience, perceive, nor initiate a philosophical assumption about Being, since its operation consists solely in processing and recombining pre-existing linguistic patterns.

AI therefore cannot independently formulate a philosophical assumption in any meaningful sense. It can only operate within the frameworks provided by a perceiving thinker. In this context, AI's function is limited to being a tool for expression, not a subject of thinking or experience.

The language may be AI-assisted, but the thinking and the assumption originate beyond the possibilities of AI.


Mental quality

Absolute existential philosophy is not about collecting facts, convincing anyone, or producing texts for external confirmation.

The aim is to maintain the mental quality and holistic consciousness that the assumption can provide.

Each element – ​​questions, assumptions, reflections, and insights – serves as a tool to keep this quality alive, rather than as an end in itself.

Certain formulations, insights, or expressions exist only as assumptions in one's own thinking and are shared only with those who have themselves tested the assumption in the same way.

Philosophy is primarily existential preservation, not communicative – a continuous mental work rather than a text to be taught or conveyed.

This framework links condition, the boundary of imagination, phenomenal experience, and indivisibility into a coherent experience within the Absolute Existence.


Philosophy deals with the difference between believing what you hear and the experience of hearing.

And the perception of what does not need to be said goes without saying. But that doesn't mean it's absent.

It means it's what makes both perception and language possible. If one does not understand that the perception of all reality is the very meaning of existence and what life is about, there is a risk of believing that there is nothing underlying the show, and that the show is all that exists.

Then the focus shifts from experiencing life as the show to trying to make a show out of life — and in doing so, the show itself is missed.

Many attempts to answer the question of why there is something rather than nothing remain confined to what can be said: causes, models, theories, concepts.

The question is then treated as one content among other contents, rather than as an expression of the fact that anything appears at all.

When language takes precedence in this way, perception risks being disturbed. Attention is directed toward what is said about existence, rather than from inside the perceptive faculty that makes both the question and all answers possible.

Absolute Existential Philosophy therefore does not take a position among competing explanations of the origin of the world.

It remains instead at the point where the question arises – at the conditions that must be in place for anything to appear, to be perceived, or to be said.

If we just then stop for a moment in silence and experience our breathing, no words are needed to simply exist.

What does not need to be said goes without saying. And the perception of the unsaid remains unsaid.


The Key Words

The key words in the Absolute Philosophy of Existence are: The Perception of the Universe

"The Faculty of Perception" is assumed to be the force of the inherent nature of "The Absolute Existence," and the Universe the manifestation of the force of difference – the phenomena that emerges through the distinction between the premise and its realization

To then confuse the reception with the receiver makes the receiver the imagined instead of the prerequisite for the reception.

The experience in the feeling of the universe is then what all of life is about.

Is it then possible to even for a minute try to test the philosophical assumptions?

Existence — as an Absolute unconditional dimensionless non-binary singularity as the pure condition of reality

Essence — as the perceptual ability as the inherent nature of an absolute existence and whose possibility of realization can be founded on the nature in two assumed binary states.

Could this possibly be assumed to be the two conditions to which the Phenomenon is tied.

The Phenomenon — as the binary Effect could then lie between the possibility of reality and the emergence of reality as the infinitely digital information image of the universe and as the realization of the consciousness in its Absolute Existence.

And then one could assume that the Universe could be the necessarily expressed phenomenon which, by receiving it, realizes consciousness in the faculty of perception as the inherent nature of The Absolute Existence!

So, Now you have heard or rather read the assumption of an Absolute Existence and thus the possibility of dismissing it with reference to lack of access also disappears.

One can refrain from testing it. One can disapprove of it. One can put it aside.

But one can no longer say that it is not there as a possible thought experiment.
