The purpose of defining these principals is to bring materialism and idealism together in an integrated view of reality. The conflict between idealism and realism is best characterized by the assertion of original supremacy of either Consciousness or Matter. The origin of one aspect of reality precedes the other and is therefore superior, the other aspect being derivative of the first. Idealism and realism simply switch positions with respect to original supremacy and individuals choose which philosophy they adopt according to which broadly defined school of thought fits the individuals needs.

The Case for Inclusion of Consciousness as a Constitutional Aspect of Reality
Our deepest explorers of human subjectivity have reported, cross culturally, that direct realization of consciousness causes a change in world view that assigns Consciousness a high degree of reality and that this is directly experienced in realizing a change in consciousness that has many names in different traditions, Satori, Enlightenment, Self Realization, etc. My personal exploration of consciousness independently and convincingly validates the claims of the mystics. This direct experience is one of the primary reasons I feel confident about creating a philosophy that elevates the status of consciousness to a universal constitutive force. When consciousness is appreciated and explored deeply over a period of time the experience leads intuitively to this conclusion, and is self-authenticating and compelling because it is directly experienced.

his series of principals addresses the cosmological, or most abstract set of philosophical statements in this system and it is intended to set the context for the previous sets of principals on human nature, moral/ethical, political, and economic systems. Each series of principals is interrelated to the others but each is also designed to stand on its own. Several ways of looking at the existence of consciousness, its origins and relationship to the other aspects of reality are reasonable. - Consciousness is the singular universal reality and everything emanates from this universal consciousness
- Consciousness is a universal aspect of reality and it is dynamically interrelated to the other components of universal reality and the dynamic interaction of these forces result in reality as we know it and do not yet know it.
- Consciousness is a derivative phenomena of human neurological functioning caused by electro chemical impulses within the complex functional interrelationships of various neurological structures.
- The forces that constitute the universe are simply physical, not psycho physical in nature.
- God, outside of consciousness, created consciousness when he created man, so that man could know God’s will.
