The Ground of Being: The Meta-Physics of Reality - Paperback

by Jerry Killingsworth (Author)

This book is about the metaphysics. It explores the primordial unity - human-nature-earth-experience and the postmodern un-reality. The focus is on the primordial tradition and the perennial philosophy which claim an esoteric unity of all religions in the realm beyond the ordinary practices and doctrines. There are some concerns that we do not have a "ground of being," but rather a religion of doctrines, a rational philosophy, and an experimental science which provide a reality of knowing and having that lacks the old instinctual-intuitive-perception-awareness characteristic of the primordial traditions which had a ground of being that was metaphysical and based on sensing, feeling, seeing, and being real, and not just believing, thinking, knowing, and having ideas. This is to say that the ground of being shifted from the primordial vision of being toward the postmodern version of knowing.
