The Philosophy of Concretion and Abstraction — Volume One: The Foundational Introduction
Abstraction as Independence: Release Towards Origin and Pure Meaning
13 November 2026 · Hashem Nassar
After long patience, and much reflection on the shifting states of consciousness, I found that the move from Concretion to Abstraction is an act of independence, one that takes a firm will to break through the wall of density. The method I have set out in the school of Concretion and Abstraction rests on one essential idea: truth lies not in the image displayed before our eyes but in the original code hidden behind it. Abstraction is a purification of knowledge that aims to free meaning from the accretions of Concretion and the illusions of material bias, and so reach the pure meaning that no time bounds and no place contains. It is immersion in concretised details that has left humanity scattered, while the return to abstract rules gathers the scattered truths into a single existential unity.
Why do I call it an act of independence? Because the system we live in is designed to keep consciousness dependent on matter. It rains data on the senses that keep us busy with the effect rather than the cause. The decision to abstract is therefore a free rebellion against the authority of the senses: a bid for root access that refuses to settle for the ordinary user interface of religion and of the cosmos. On my journey I found that Abstraction is the only tool that makes it possible to read the Qurʾān as a cosmic system that transcends time, and not as a historical book imprisoned by its language and circumstances. Pure meaning is the clear rhythm of the divine word before it condenses into deficient human mental images. My method does not seek to interpret the text; it seeks to recover its original rhythm, letting the text interpret itself.
This release towards the origin gives the human being the power to move beyond the preconceptions imposed by materialist and stereotyped interpretations. When we abstract, we dive into the depths of reality and discover the laws that drive it. Independence here means that consciousness is in control, not a passive receiver of sensory data. Abstraction thus becomes the key to reclaiming the Trust, as the Vicegerent changes from a mere observer of phenomena into a partner in understanding the great cosmic law.
