Refining the theosophical language

The effort to refine the theosophical language creates a unique opportunity for exploring how transcendence is possible to fully appreciate spirituality and the role of religion. Spoken refinement in the book “The Unrelative Truth” comes in the form of corrections and extensions while relying on introduced new words such as unrelative, instanding and metaverse.

The book is very unique in its approach by taking a path without disregarding the very rich and colorful past of human religiosity. In fact it draws on them to unite religious understanding at each one’s apex for the much needed unity/togetherness in our world that is of much short supply these days. The rampant extremism and harmful kinds of false fundamentalism signal the spiritual demise in the arena of inter‑ and inra‑faith relationships in need of urgent correction and consilience.

The book explores refining in three directions. The present for the individual’s theological understanding is shown to be perennially grounded on the revelations of the past (through diverse means offered by religious and wisdom traditions), while the future awaits for the individual’s chosen way of living a pious life if it entails the right kind of ownership that is mutually inclusive for every encounter with the world. The personal journey on a psychic map of all presences for an individual creates a new approach to augmenting religious life.

“Living‑religion” should be made the key to spirituality supported by a healthy psychology tracked by a tool such as the featured one in the book: the Compass of Ownership. Immediate interpretation of one’s spiritual involvement through owning and being own‑ed becomes the proper medium for self‑learning while positively encouraging solitary venture on a path with self‑direction toward salvation (“Know Thyself”) for liberating one’s core Reality for the sake of enlightenment (“kurtuluş”).

In the words of Hz. Yunus Emre “The one Me with me, is inner than me” (“Bir Ben vardır bende benden içeri”) becomes the destination for oneness. Oneness state on the Compass is marked as the highest attainment sought by contemplative meditation. How to arrive here—within—becomes the story of our spiritual travels. The book specifically expounds on the origin of religions and claims it to be this religious experience of “Me” within “me.”
