~ Entity Encapsulation ~
Individual Entities
The notion of the individual entity has it that each entity is separate from all other entities. As far as Entity 1 is concerned, for example, it is the only entity. All other entities known to it are created by it as expressions of itself. The same applies to all other entities. The multi-dimensional nature of God is expressed as each individual entity.

| The only entity is the individual entity. So no entity relates to any other entity. Neither does any entity combine with any other entity to form other entities. As per an individual entity, nothing exists except for that entity. |
Recursive Encapsulation
These entities collectively form greater wholes striving to realize a single entity – the full encapsulation of all things. One entity combines with another to form yet another completely separate entity with its own identity.

Recursive
Encapsulation
|
![]() |
| Collective entities recursively form greater wholes, striving to realize a single entity – the full encapsulation of all things (God). Such an entity can neither be perceived nor conceived since any final encapsulation - the entity itself - can immediately be joined together with a lesser-realized essence concerning this entity in order to arrive at an even fuller understanding of it. |
For example:
| - | A mouse and a rat could combine to form “a rodent”. |
| - | “A rodent” may then combine with all the other types of mammals to produce “a mammal”. |
| - | “A mammal”, in turn, may combine with all the other types of animals to produce “an animal”. |
| - | “An animal” may then combine with every other thing on and in the earth to produce “the earth”. |
| - | “The earth” then combines with all else in our solar system to produce “our solar system”. |
| - | “Our solar system” in turn then combines with all the other solar systems in our galaxy to form “the Milky Way”. |
| - | This goes on and on until “the physical universe” is arrived at. |
| - | “The physical universe” can then start combining with metaphysical elements such as time to produce space-time. |
This process continues indefinitely in an attempt at realizing the full encapsulation of all things.
Combinations of entities create still further entities by adding dimension to the scenario under consideration. For example, you may consider a rat, within space and time, that is ten feet away from a cow, with a lizard no where in sight. All these facts produce an entity representative of the above scenario. All this is but a blatant revelation of God to man as that entity. This is the present moment.
For all things to be attained by God, all that any one entity need do is to combine with everything other than itself. For example, a mouse could combine with everything other than itself to produce everything:
mouse + Everything - mouse = Everything
A Physical Example
Entities can combine to form greater encapsulating entities.

| Small and big hens encapsulate into the entity 'Hens'. Likewise, entities 'Hens' and 'Cows' encapsulate into the entity 'Animals'. |
A “big hen” is different from a “small hen”, but together they make up part of a single whole called “hens”. This is after all how the whole concept of “hens” came into existence in the first place, and indeed what keeps it in existence. Similarly, a “big cow” is different from a “small cow”, but together they make up part of a single whole called “cows”. “Hens” and “cows” together form part of a greater whole called “animals”.
One can group the “bigness” attributes of the hens and cows to make up part of another whole called “Big entities”. Similarly, the “smallness” attributes of the hens and cows together make up part of another whole called “Small entities”. These two new wholes together form a greater whole called "Size": A big hen is both a part of a big entity as well as a part of hens. This is what makes it what it is – a hen that is a big entity (a big hen).
In addition to the four entities, "Big hen", "Big cow", "Small hen", and "Small cow", eleven more have been created.

| The various means to entity creation/realization are illustrated here. Besides the obvious entities “small and big hens and cows”, there are 11 other entities created purely by means of the interaction of entities: Animals, hens, cows, size, big entities and small entities. |
These are:
|
a.
|
Non-animals
that have size but are neither big nor small. E.g. A long pole.
|
|
b.
|
Animals
that have size but are neither big nor small and neither hens nor cows.
E.g. a medium-sized sheep.
|
|
c.
|
A hen that
has size but is neither big nor small. E.g. a medium-sized hen.
|
|
d.
|
Small non-animals.
E.g. A small rock.
|
|
e.
|
Small animals
that are neither hens nor cows. E.g. a small mouse.
|
|
f.
|
A hen that
has no size. Nothing conclusive can be said about its size. E.g. a hen.
|
|
g.
|
Animals
that are neither hens nor cows and that have no size. E.g. A snake.
|
|
h.
|
Identical
in essence to point f above except only now concerning a cow.
|
|
i.
|
Identical
in essence to point c above except only now concerning a cow.
|
|
j.
|
Big animals
that are neither hens nor cows. E.g. a big elephant.
|
|
k.
|
Big non-animals.
E.g. A big rock.

A Metaphysical Example
A metaphysical example has a “good idea” different from a “bad idea”, but together they make up part of a single whole called “ideas”. A “good dream” is different from a “bad dream”, but together they make up part of a single whole called “dreams”. “Ideas” and “dreams” then form part of a greater whole called, say, "Ideas, dreams and similar entities". The “goodness” attributes of ideas and dreams can be grouped to form part of another whole called “Good things”. Similarly, the “badness” attributes of ideas and dreams together make up part of another whole called “Bad things”. These two wholes form a greater whole called "State", encapsulating the state of things.

| Good ideas and dreams encapsulate into the entity 'Good entities'. Likewise, entities 'Good entities' and 'Bad entities' encapsulate into the entity 'State' - an indication of the state of entities. |
A good idea is part of a good thing as well as a part of ideas. This is what makes it what it is – an idea that is a good thing (a good idea). As before, eleven entities have been created in addition to the four entities: "Good idea", "Good dream", "Bad idea", and "Bad dream".

| The various means to metaphysical entity creation/realization are illustrated here. Besides the obvious entities of good and bad ideas and dreams, there are eleven other entities created by means of the interaction of entities: 'Ideas, dreams & similar entities', ideas, dreams, size, big entities and small entities. |
These are:
| a. | Entities that are neither good nor bad, ideas, dreams or similar entities. E.g. consciousness. |
| b. | Entities that are neither good nor bad, ideas or dreams but that are similar entities to ideas and dreams. E.g. a thought. |
| c. | An idea that is neither good nor bad. E.g. a stupid idea. |
| d. | Entities that are bad and are not ideas, dreams or similar entities. E.g. a bad boy. |
| e. | Things that are bad and neither ideas nor dreams but that are similar entities. E.g. a bad thought. |
| f. | An idea that has no state. Nothing conclusive can be said about its state. E.g. An idea. |
| g. | Similar entities to ideas and dreams that have no state. E.g. a thought. |
| h. | Identical in essence to point f above except only now concerning a dream. |
| i. | Identical in essence to point c above except only now concerning a dream. |
| j. | Entities that are good and neither ideas nor dreams but that are similar entities. E.g. a good thought. |
| k. | Entities that are good and are not ideas, dreams or similar entities. E.g. a good boy. |
Single Encapsulated Whole
All entities combine to form a single whole. This is how many people, in error, see the things of this world – where all things are a “part” of God:
|
Single
Encapsulated Whole
|
![]() |
| Each and every entity is separate and individualistic in nature, but contribute in forming part of a single greater wholse. |
One entity
Consider now the possibility for all things to be various presentations of just one single entity, although, as perceived by us, they would appear to be separate entities, each with their own identity. I am not referring to all things collectively forming a single whole as described above, but rather to one single whole presenting itself in various forms simultaneously.
|
One
Entity (God)
|
![]() |
| Each and every entity is a full representation or presentation of one single entity. So there is only one entity presenting itself in its various forms of separate individualistic entities. |
Here God presents Itself simultaneously through many single dimensions.
For example:
| All of God is presented as a car. |
| All of God is presented as a human. |
| All of God is presented as an alien. |
| All of God is presented as the world. |
| All of God is presented as a grain of sand, an idea, or what have you. |
The presentation of God is realized by the conscious individual, through the mind and personified as the soul, to be a spirit – the essence of existence.
Appreciation
Entities, whether of creation or non-creation, have their being only through being appreciated by the conscious individual. The appreciation itself is the individual’s soul, which is for the incarnation of man, the embodiment of his personality. Ones incarnation is but a dimension (or means) whereby one appreciates Oneself.
In Summary
