The Philosophy Of Being

The Philosophy of Being A Tract Book Essay By Anthony J. Fejfar, B.A., J.D., Esq., Coif © Copyright 2007 by Anthony J. Fejfar Some say that you really shouldn’t try to describe Being at all, that Being is Ineffable. Since others have tried, however, I suppose that I should say something. Bernard Lonergan defines Being as an “Unrestricted Act of Understanding.” In Platonist terms, Being can be described as Form of Form. The real difficulty with Being comes when we try to discuss the causal nature of Being.

Some say that Being is unchanging and static. I, on the other hand, argue that

Being Vibrates. Being is best symbolized by a Vibrating Infinity Loop. A Being Mystic can feel Being. Now, Being is unchanging in a sense, but not the mundane causal sense that we experience within space and time. Being is an Unmoved Mover. Therefore, Being is both unchanging and mobile at the same time. Being Moves outside of Space and Time. Thus, I argue that it is impossible to logically, linearly, deduce any conclusions from any sort of analysis of Being. Being must be intuited using one’s Intuition. One then finds Being in one’s Insights and one’s artistic or spiritual inspiration. Being is subtle, not facile.
