“The Architect and Design of Humanity” is our gateway statement on this website, for it is here that we begin our quest of revealing. The questions this phrase can produce, and the answers that follow, can take us from ancient philosophy to more modern speculations.
The fact is: the most immediate question (and its answer) is often not the most pertinent.
As practitioners of the Art, we obligate ourselves to delve deep into the riddle of existence or what are called the “perennial questions.” Mundanely stated, this is: “What is the meaning of life?” The beauty (and exploration) of this beguilingly simple question unfolds into a multitude of others:
* Where do we come from?
* What are we?
* What is the nature of life?
* What is the nature of reality?
* What is the purpose or value of life?
* Do we seek individual meaning or collective meaning?
* Where are we going?
And, of course,
* How do we get there?
The Akashic riddle and perennial question: “What is the meaning of life?” establishes a philosophical platform regarding the purpose of existence and the significance of life in general. It is the apriori of philosophical, theological, and scientific investigations throughout history, whereby the nature of the universe (metaphysics), the nature of knowledge (epistemology), the existence of “deity” or “powers,” ethics, value, communal and individual purpose, the nature of good and evil, free will, the spirit, the soul, the afterlife, and symbolic meaning, are all inherent volumes and landscapes of exploration.
As Aldous Huxley in 1945 so eloquently wrote of a perennial philosophy, "[it] recognizes a divine reality substantial to the world of things and lives and minds; the psychology that finds in the soul something similar to, or even identical with, divine reality; the ethic that places man's final end in the knowledge of the immanent and transcendent ground of all being."
As practitioners of the Akashic Arts, we believe this investigation coincides and culminates with the unification of ourselves and an “ultimate reality,” a “being of oneness,” and knowledge of “sacredness.”
Complexity does not mean vagueness. Indeed, reality, albeit uncertain, is not vague. If there is a purpose of the Architect and Design of Humanity, it would be to unify the knowledge of the mind with the experience of the body. The pursuit of, and answers to, these perennial questions helps the Akashic practitioner become unified within him or herself, creating a coherence of will and unifying the answers with the ultimate reality.
If the paradigm of “As above, so below,” is a reflection of Ultimate Truth, then The Architect and Design of Humanity is merely a decipherable blueprint to and for the ultimate expression of who and what we are.
