What is Ineffable in my experience is the Totality of Existence, which is ultimately indivisible into forms and structures that can be analysed as concepts, and hence designated with words or any other symbols.
I say ‘my’ experience, but even though I am a perishable structure with a name, in Ineffability, the pattern-seeking experiencer disappears as a distinct being—not separate from any other being, or, indeed, from the Immortal Ground of Being, as the Ineffable Divine.
The Ineffability of Ultimate Reality might seem a far remove from the practical challenges we all face in our daily lives—as the unprecedented rate of bifurcating evolutionary change in society accelerates exponentially in psychosocial chaos.
However, it is necessary to bring God the Creator into psychology to understand what is causing us to behave as we do and hence what it means to be human—compared to computing machines with so-called artificial intelligence (AI).
Most significantly, we need to apply our innate Self-reflective Intelligence to answer the most critical unanswered question in science: What is causing scientists and technologists, aided and abetted by computer technology, to drive the pace of scientific discovery and technological development at unprecedented exponential rates of acceleration?
The creative power of Life – emanating directly from the Divine Origin of the Universe – has guided me to answer this question because I was not enculturated by the fragmented teachings of Western civilization during infancy, childhood, and adolescence, unlike most of my contemporaries.
Rather, to heal a cataclysmic prenatal trauma – and hence realize Inner Peace in Stillness – my entire life has been guided by the fundamental law of the Cosmos, which states opposites are not separate in Wholeness, where there are no divisions between what we have traditionally called God and Universe.
In contrast, deductive logic – used in mathematical proof systems – is based on conflict-ridden, either-or reasoning. This is most evident in the global economy, where the ruling authorities tell us to fight our fellow human beings for a slice of the finite financial pie. As money acts as a delusional immortality symbol for many, we are thus restrained from cocreating the life-enhancing Sharing Economy for the benefit of us all.
Yet, all is not lost, as I describe in a monograph that I wrote last month titled ‘Unifying All Models of God in Cosmic Gnosis’. As no one is ever separate from the Divine for an instant, it is quite possible that many could synergistically speak from the Ineffable Truth, which sets us free, thereby enlightening the planet.
We would then know that Consciousness is all there is, metaphorically illustrated in the Ocean of Consciousness – from which no one is ever separate, as ever-changing waves and currents – and the Light of Consciousness, brilliantly radiating through us all. Ineffability is then exquisitely encapsulated in the Sanskrit word Satchitānanda ‘Bliss of Absolute Truth and Cosmic Consciousness’.
So, before our inevitable demise as a species, all we need to know is “Love is the sea of not-being and there intellect drowns,” as the Sufi poet Rumi reminds us, beautifully expressing Ineffability.
