Thoughts on being

There is no lifeless being, to be is to be evolving. The primary activity of being is the Will To Godhood of the Spirit-Will, which evolves self-consciousness.

Heidegger's teacher Braig pointed out that “Nothing” is a fiction of the mind, and I add that Nothing is not Godhood, as mystics often suggest it is, when they are actually speaking of the self-willed state of a desire-free Soul within man. Even being in the mind is not nothing, it all goes back to the supermaterial Spirit-Will Within which initially activates the mind.

This way Being belongs to the causal laws of actual being. I agree with Braig (“Heidegger and Aquinas,” John Caputo) that actual being acts toward an end, toward the state of complete actuality, total self-consciousness, total self-realization, or as we say, this is Godhood---and I add that being is activated by the Spirit-Will. The Scholastic's seem to have also had the view of being as the “actual, but was it not the Platonic actual of non-materialism?”

Husserl's desire to avoid all presuppositions in philosophy is a presupposition, an ideal. But we are born with the presupposition of the Spirit-Will within which activates life to evolve to Godhood.
