Synopsis

Explore a new approach to ontology that challenges long-held beliefs about reality, mind, and ethics.


This concise philosophy work argues against the idea of a single ultimate Reality and offers a framework built on a World Self and mind as four ultimate realities. It presents a view where freedom and determinism are reconciled, and where ethical obligation grows from an innate sense of expediency shared by all selves, from individuals to the vast World Self. The discussion moves through topics like psychology, logic, and religion to connect a practical, experience-based approach with fundamental questions about existence and value.


Readers encounter a coherent attempt to ground ethics, science, and religion in a unified outlook. The author examines how prayers, worship, and reverence fit into a universe shaped by growth, development, and the interplay of mind, matter, and time. The book invites consideration of immortality not as a fixed promise, but as a question tied to the nature of the universe and the continuity of life, mind, and energy.



  • A new take on ontology and the idea of a World Self.

  • How freedom, determinism, and the will relate to growth and expediency.

  • Connections between ethics, religion, and universal mind in a psycho-bio-physical universe.

  • Thoughtful discussion of immortality and the nature of divine and cosmic life.


Ideal for readers seeking a clear, practical rethinking of philosophy’s core questions.
