The following questions are excerpts from the book: PSICANICA: A SPIRITUAL PHILOSOPHY, by Thomas Michael Powell from http://www.psicanica.com. I copied the questions and included my answers in blue.

ONE
What is the nature of the universe? Where does it come from? Of what is it made? How did it come to exist? What is its purpose? By what process does it change? Is it evolving or devolving? Does it function by itself or would it degenerate to chaos without some kind of intelligent control?

The nature of the universe is to provide a housing unit of expression in which the unmanifest takes form through manifestation. Evolving, devolving, and chaos are arbitrary judgments perpetuated by the epistemological Ego.

TWO
Is there a Supreme Being? If so, what is His nature? Did He create the universe? Does He continue to control it personally and if so, at what level? What is his relationship with man? Does he intervene in the affairs of man? Is this Being good? If this Being is good and all-powerful, how can evil exist?

You are this “Supreme Being” in which you are searching. The nature of God is spiritual-evolution. Good and evil are different points of observation and are not polar opposites.

THREE
What is the place of man in the universe? Is man the highest fruit of the universe or is he just an insignificant speck in infinite space—or something in between? Does the spirit of man descend into matter from higher spiritual realms, or has it evolved from matter? Is the universe conscious or unconscious of man? If it is aware, is it warm and friendly to him, or cold and indifferent, or even hostile?

The place of man within the universe is much of an energetic correlation to expression and awareness. Highest fruit and insignificant speck are both judgments that do not hold validity within consciousness. The human Mind is able to integrate observation and expression which can be “classified” as an “effective” tool. The human body and its intricate parts have evolved to enable spirit to incarnate from a “higher” realm. There are dimensions within the universe that are able to capture frequency vibrations, within these domains of frequency the Mind is able to translate and communicate information.

FOUR
What is reality? What is mind; what is thought? Is thought real? Which is superior: mind or matter? Has mind created matter or has matter evolved mind? Where do ideas come from? Does thought have any importance--does it make any difference in our lives--or is it just fantasy? What is Truth? Is there a universal Truth, true for all men forever, or is Truth relative or individual?

Reality is the ground in which the Mind plays – an intangible playground. Thought is an energetic form of expression created by the Mind. What is real? Because you can see and feel something does that make it “real?” Is the Internet real? What about Television/Radio waves? The concept of “real” is based on interpretation; thought is either in existence or not in existence. Superiority is a classification spawning again from the Ego of the Mind in which categorization (judgment) is facilitated by preference. The Mind exists because of matter. Ideas are captured potentialities manifested into form through the Mind usually resulting from intention. Thought is the paint to the painter in which the painting of life is created (canvas = reality). Truth is something that can be verified as manifested in existence. There are different levels of Truth including levels of absolute Truth and subjective Truth.

FIVE
What determines the fate of each individual? Is man a creator and mover of his life, or does he live at the effect of forces over which he has little control? Does free will exist or are our lives determined by outside factors—and if so, what are those factors? How does life work: is there a Supreme Force that intervenes in our lives? Or is everything pre-determined from the beginning of time? Or is life just random, full of coincidence and accident? Or is there some other control mechanism we do not perceive?

The fate of each individual is determined by choice, potentiality, karma, and energetic actuality. Man controls the interpretation of his life as environmental “forces” affect him. Life is determined and often times outlined by the choices you make (free will). You are the Supreme force that is in control of your life. Consequences arise because of the choices you make.

SIX
What is good and what is bad or evil? What is moral? What is ethical? Who decides good and bad, right and wrong; and by what standard? Is there an absolute standard of good and bad beyond one’s the personal opinions? Should good and bad be determined by custom, by rational law, or by the situation? What if the decisions of others (society, authorities, laws, etc) determining good and bad are contrary to one’s personal beliefs or freedoms? ¯should you obey others or follow your own conscience? Moreover, if as an answer to FIVE, we do not have free will but are ruled by outside factors, what difference does good and bad make? ¯we have no choice. If so, we have no responsibility for doing bad.

Good and bad are observations of the entire whole. Good and evil are different perceptions and classifications of interpreting energy. That which is supportive of Life is supported by Life.

SEVEN
Why are things the way they are? How should things be ideally? What is the good life —for the individual and for the many (society)? What would a Utopian society, a heaven on earth, be like? Is it even possible to create a Utopia? If so, how? Would not a Utopia assure personal freedom? What, then, should you do with those who don’t cooperate and violate the Utopian system? If you control or punish them, is there no longer a Utopia?

Government and “laws” are in place to support those that have not yet achieved a level of awareness in which they are supportive of Life. Things are the way they are because you made them that way. I don’t know, how do you think things should be? When one views the world with complete compassion, one sees that the world is a Utopia.

EIGHT
What is the ideal relation between the individual and the state? Should the individual serve the state or the state serve the individual? What is the best form of government and what is the worst? When is a man justified in disobeying the dictates of the state? To what extent should the majority rule and thereby act against the freedom of the minorities? When is a man justified in rebelling against the established order and creating a new state? What are the relative merits of the different economic systems (capitalism, communism, etc.).

Using integrity, respect, and compassion to ensure the safety of the governed is the primary intention of long term successful governments.

NINE
He who controls education controls the future. What is education? How should the young be educated—what is important and what not? Who should control education: the parents, the student, the society or the state? Should a student be taught to think for himself or to adopt the beliefs of the society? Should man be educated to be free and live for his own interests; or to subjugate his desires to serve others or the state? ¯see Question EIGHT.

Information is captured via vibrational frequency into a web of infinite consciousness and is accessible to any and all who are aware of their ability to ask.

TEN
What happens at death? Is death the end of everything or is there a soul in man that continues to exist beyond death? If so, is that soul immortal or does it too eventually cease to exist? If the soul does continue to exist after death, what is the nature of that existence? If there is an existence after death, is “good” rewarded and “bad” punished? If so, how do you reconcile this with the concept of predestination? And if there is a God of INFINITE LOVE and FORGIVENESS, how to you reconcile punishment?

Death is simply a transitional period in which awareness leaves a physical body. There are no “punishments” or “rewards” for “good” or “bad” souls, however, there are consequences passed through via karma from life to life in which one could “reconcile” gaps of spiritual evolution.

Psicanica (aka Psycanics) is a modern philosophy that answers most of these questions and many more. It is a science of Being, Mind, Emotion, Love, Power, Wisdom and Happiness, at the cutting edge of human knowledge today. See http://www.psicanica.com

I don’t believe we have met. I don’t believe I know your name nor do you know mine. I don’t even think you know what I look like or how I feel about you. But I do know that you are out there, I know because I feel you. I dreamt about you the other night and I saw the essence of who you are. And although this might sound unusual to those reading this piece currently, I love you and you don’t even know it. But you will know it, because one of these days you will read this entry, and you will see that what I write is true because you feel it now. You will see that the reciprocal love that we feel together now was always present, even though our awareness was not conscious of it at all times especially before we even knew each other. Simply because our minds are not aware of our physical existence and all the details that encompass such a phenomenon, does not mean I do not see and respect the spark of Divinity that lives deep within you.

To my future one, you are loved beyond belief. You have my utmost respect and compassion. And I can’t wait till the day I see into your eyes and show you beyond words what love truly is. Till that day, I will be waiting and I will be dreaming.
