Each volume stands on its own, and connects with what precedes and follows it in a cumulative, ascending structure.

Volume 1

The Foundational Introduction

The gateway to the system: the birth of the project, the crisis of terminology it grew out of, and the two poles — Concretion and Abstraction — that govern the movement of existence and consciousness alike.

Preview

Volume 2

The Seven Levels of Existence

Divinity and the Lordship Matrix, absolute transcendence, the World of Command and the World of Creation, the slowing of light, Earth, energy, the Higher Self, the Footstool, the Throne, and the Absolute.

Preview

Volume 3

The Ontology of the Human and the Three Natures

The Vicegerent and bearer of the Great Trust; the three selves — clay, jinn and higher — the two opposing natures, and the Balance that calibrates them.

Preview

Volume 4

The Theory of Knowledge

Epistemology and consciousness: the sensory heart, the Fuʾād and the Heart of the Higher Self, and the ascent of perception from the density of sense to the subtlety of meaning, culminating in prophecy.

Preview

Volume 5

The Philosophy of Values and Ethics (Axiology)

The ontological roots of values: the Trust, the primordial disposition and the Balance as the roots of virtue, the Seven Interactive Dimensions, cosmic justice and the scale of equity.

Preview

The Upright Religion and resetting the counters, concretional idolatry and mental idols, recitation and its degrees, and the acts of worship from their moulds to their abstract essence.

Preview

Preview

Volume 9

The Eschatology and the Cosmology of the Return

From the origin of existence to its destination: the covenant of the one self, quantum consciousness and technology, the genetic map and cosmic memory, death, the interworld and the first genesis.

Preview
