Existence and Change: The First Principle of All That Is
CORE-056
Bashar articulates the most fundamental axiom of his metaphysics: 'Existence exists, and it changes.' This entry explores: (1) the irreducibility of existence—consciousness/Being/All That Is is not created by anything more fundamental; it simply IS, Bashar articulates the most fundamental axiom of his metaphysics: 'Existence exists, and it changes.' This entry explores: (1) the irreducibility of existence—consciousness/Being/All That Is is not created by anything more fundamental; it simply IS, eternally and infinitely; asking 'why does anything exist?' is a category error, like asking 'what is north of the North Pole?', (2) change as the only constant—stasis is impossible in an infinite system; even what appears unchanging is changing at rates or levels imperceptible to the observer; the fear of change is actually fear of the inevitable, (3) the oscillation principle—existence alternates between states of expansion and consolidation, creation and contemplation, expression and integration; neither pole is superior; both are necessary for the cosmic heartbeat, (4) the identity of existence and consciousness—there is no 'matter' separate from 'mind'; what appears as physical reality is consciousness experiencing itself through structured vibration; to exist IS to be conscious, at whatever level, (5) the implication for human life—recognizing oneself as an expression of fundamental existence removes the terror of annihilation; you cannot cease to exist, only change form; this is the metaphysical foundation of courage. Bashar connects this principle to physics: the law of conservation of energy is the physical reflection of the metaphysical conservation of consciousness. The entry includes meditation: resting in the direct experience 'I AM' without qualification or narrative.
