If we analyze the essential features of the way we speak and the way we think, we can easily identify and redefine words or phrases of a
particular cultural emphasis which predetermine our opinions. In other words, by applying a few principals of Linguistics, the
way we speak, to the way we think, we can, with little effort, loosen the bonds of cultural control, guaranteeing our right to freely reason on
our own. Thus, to think freely is to refine our somatic domain by redefining words or phrases that have bred false beliefs such as the term
‘metaphysics’ and the phrase ‘metaphysical realism.’
We all praise rationality but seldom do we apply the same criteria in the quiet of our own minds. It matters not if we explore the inner
workings of the mind as an idealist, or trod a true materialistic path, all persistent thinkers awake in the same primordial substance be it
called matter or mind 5. What we say to ourselves in the quiet of our minds can and does determine what we know.
Right, wrong, or indifferent the Philosophy of language is the foundation of everything we know, we think we know a lot, and probably do- a
lot of thinking. Contrary to what scholars deem holy, reason is a known or the logos (Lost key Example). To think about something is proof
in itself that the thinker does not know.
Sally is a situated knower in heavens own properties- she knows her situation. Sally knows she knows, de re. Sally knows she knows, de
dicto. Sally, a ordinary human being is a situated knower in heavens own properties or the known, undefined. The only evidence we have
are textual expressions and word of mouth, or what we say, how we say it, and why we say the things we do. Metalanguage, a language
used to describe a language, what Sally says, is rooted in a fundamental primordial utterance- the word.
The oldest accounts of textual expressions such as the Rig-Veda and the Bible are discredited by contemporary philosophical realism
which is a “belief in reality that is completely ontologically independent of our conceptual schemes, linguistic practices,
beliefs, etc. 5” Nevertheless, what we say, how we say it, and why we say the things we do is a predetermined echo of what has already
been said, so the following Hebrew text, written about 2000 years ago is a belief that is likely to be necessarily
true:
“John 1:1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. John 1:2 The same was in the beginning
with God. John 1:3 All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.”
In addition, the following primordial propositions compliment the same ontological argument from ancient Hebrew text dating back some
4000 years ago 6:
“Genesis 1:1 In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. Genesis 1:2 And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness
was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters. Genesis 1:3 And God said, Let there be light: and
there was light.”
The Rig-Veda or early Sanskrit dating back some 5500 years ago, compliment an ontological argument from ancient Hindu text and the
Upanishads or proto-Sanskrit that are among the earliest written expressions known today that date back to a period when pictographs
logos were superseded by straight symbolic lines or linear expressions. A period known by evidence etched in ancient clay tablets,
uncovered by archaeologist from the ancient Sumerian city of Shurruppak settled by wondering nomadic bands about the biblical frontiers
of the Tigris and Euphrates Rivers- the origin of ancient Hebrew text.
A Philosophical paper titled “Tattvamasi ('that you are') in the Upanishads” by Octavian Sarbatoare (BA USyd) is a good reflection of what the
Vedanta poets are saying 7:
“The present work will draw attention to the multidimensional contents as well as the literature and spiritual messages of the Upanishads.
The Upanishads (Lit. 'sitting by the side') are a class of philosophical works expounding a secret spiritual doctrine by emphasising on a
monistic approach to knowledge. Behind the literal significance of the words as 'sitting by the side' there is that secret spiritual knowledge
that is acquired by a disciple, by sitting near an accomplished master. The whole philosophy of the Upanishads has a common:
“Tattvamasi ('that you are'), Ahambrahmasmi ('I am Brahma'), Prajnanam Brahma ('the ultimate truth is consciousness'), Ayamatma
Brahma ('the extension of the Self is Brahma').”
These primordial principals compliment and are the origins of the aforementioned ontological argument from Hebrew text dating some
4000 years ago; a belief that is likely to be necessarily true, continues as follows:
[Genesis 1:27 Then God said, “Let us make man in our image, after our likeness; and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and
over the birds of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creeps upon the earth.” Genesis 1:28
So God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them. Genesis 1:29And God
blessed them, and God said to them, “Be fruitful and multiply, and fill the earth and subdue it; and have dominion over the fish of the sea
and over the birds of the air and over every living thing that moves upon the earth”]
If we consider Sally as an ordinary human being or man, then what we say to ourselves in the quiet of our minds can and does determine
what we know. Sally is a situated knower within heavens own properties; it is the case that what we say, how we say it, and why we say the
things we do are determined as if one mind sharing the same essential thing; however, it is not the case that we are saying the same thing
as the Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy, Metaphysics summarizes well:
“The arguments of Kripke and Plantinga in defense of modality are paradigmatically metaphysical (except insofar as they directly address
Quine's linguistic argument). Both turn on the concept of a possible world. Leibniz was the first philosopher to use ‘possible world’ as a
philosophical term of art, but Kripke's and Plantinga's use of the phrase is different from his. For Leibniz, a possible world was a possible
creation: God's act of creation consists in his choosing one possible world among many to be the one world that he creates- the 'actual'
world. For Kripke and Plantinga, however, a possible world is a possible “whole of reality.” For Leibniz, God and his actions “stand outside”
all possible worlds. For Kripke and Plantinga, no being, not even God, could stand outside the whole system of possible worlds.”
As stated, “for Leibniz, a possible world is a possible creation: God’s act of creation consists in his choosing one possible world among
many to be the one world that he creates- the 'actual' world’ in which God is the lone situated knower of that world. The world Leibniz refers
to is a conditional Biblical world illustrated in ancient text, aforementioned. Under these biblical conditions, not even God could make a
false proposition true; nor could Kripke and Plantinga presuppose a possible “whole of reality” by standing outside the whole system of
possible worlds.
Nevertheless, what we say, how we say it, and why we say the things we do is a predetermined echo of what has already been said and
Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy, Metaphysics summarizes well:
“Theirs is not the only modal ontology on offer, however. The modal ontology of David Lewis (Lewis (1986)) stands in stark opposition to the
KP modal ontology. Lewis's modal ontology also appeals to objects called possible worlds, but these “worlds” are concrete objects. What
most of us call the universe is just exactly what Lewis calls “the actual world.” Non-actual worlds are other universes, “non-actual”; only in
that we are not among their inhabitants, for two “worlds” share no part. For Lewis, ‘actual’ is an indexical term: when I speak of the actual
world, I refer to the world of which I am an inhabitant- and so for any speaker who is “in” (who is a part of) any world.”
Sally is a speaker in 'the actual world or a situated knower. We know Sally by what she says, how she says it, and why she says the things
she says, de re. Sally is a situated knower, we know Sally by what she says, how she says it, and why she says the things she says, de
dicto. If the only thing I know with certainty, I am a situated knower, then I must be inferred by all in the same way; we are never alone. In a
metaphysical sense, religious sense, or any sense at all, we can define Ontology as the study or being or the I-ness of a being that
determines its existence.
The Stanford encyclopedia of philosophy, metaphysics also quotes Frege, “Affirmation of existence is in fact nothing but denial of the
number zero.” I disagree, we can affirm existence without denial of the number zero, a sphere of emptiness envelopes all binary relations,
and by way of negation, limitation, or undefined schema; all things that come to be already exist as an empty set of ideas or all possible
world(s) (Figure Ontology).
Example:
0 is a real number, de dicto
1
0 is a real number, de re
1
0 is undefined
1
So there is a singularity of existence that is all knowing, all powerful, and in all places at the same time or a lone situated knower the
theologian refers to as * God or the I-ness of being that determines its own existence ©. Metaphysically, we can illustrate Being as a
serious game of ontological "hide and seek," a lonely game of shifting from the known to the unknown and back again by way of experience
in its own multiplicity such as the situated knower Sally or the I-ness of a being that determines its existence . What Sally says, how she
says it, and why she says the things she does, is a logical linguistic link to how things come to be; however, if this is just an echo of what
has already been said, why say it? Nobody says it like I do!

Ontology is the study of being. In a religious sense, Ontology is commonly referred to
as a proof of God’s existence which gives meaning to how things come to be. To
others, the question of being is one of the most important questions of human
existence, a question deserving of explanation beyond belief; even if that belief is
likely to be true. The way we answer the question of how things come to be, affects
the way we think about the laws of physics as a subject-object relationship.
Martin Heidegger, famed Existential Philosopher of the early ninetieth century
suggest, we are mistaken, incorrect with our ontological reasoning which gives error
to our judgment 1. If Heidegger’s claim is true, our presupposing of reason may be
the case of what we think we know may not be true. If our reasoning in regards to
nature and phenomena is flawed, everything we think about is profoundly affected,
including actual scientific applications. The PC may be as IBM predicted, a useless
toy, and Bill Gates is likely a geek gone wild!

| A Logical Linguistic Link to how things come to be |
| OM |
Charles Burton poetically describes ancient Sanskrit ontology as the “Over Soul”
published in 1939 2. If heaven exists, and I argue that it necessarily exists, our own
solar system must be nested within its heavenly properties. In contemporary
literature, we lose this association because our language now determines these
concepts as “abstract ideas” (3A Kripke-Plantinga (KP) world is an abstract object of
some sort). How can it be established that our solar systems, including Earth, spins
in abstract space, an area that can only be appreciated intellectually?
If Sally says, “I might not have existed,” almost everyone will take her to have stated
an obvious truth 4 , if true then Sally is a situated knower within heavens own
properties. What Sally says, how she says it, and why she says the things she does,
is a logical linguistic link to how things come to be.
