Concept's have rights too.

Concepts exist however inappropriate the word ‘exist’ may seem. Their reality is discovered by attempting to place them into the universe at an inapplicable time.  For example the concept of awareness as we know it is hard to apply before life began and for a long period into the evolution of life.

Concepts are hard to examine but it is possible. We can for instance determine which concepts were present at the Big Bang and which came later. Space, time, location, material and energy were there at the beginning as symbiotic intertwined attributes. Life and awareness were not present nor too were force, velocity, speed or momentum.  These latter concepts became the start of the continuum in which our universe was formed while the beginning threads of life and other concepts lay still hidden in Chaos. The continuum was different to the rest since it had particular patterns that made it distinguishable from Chaos.  But of course it too was not distinguished despite its properties. Distinction means nothing in the absence of awareness so it remains shyly hidden in the infinite ‘IS-ness' that Chaos is.

The Big Bang took place when a single concept evolved within the environment of Chaos, this was time-space. And this single event acted as the catalyst of the explosion, the match to the fuse, we call the Big Bang.

My theme is concepts are more than ideas imposed on Chaos; they are the building blocks by which the indescribable is shaped. They have their own reality and confines and it is they that define what can ‘be’ and what ‘is’ . They are the unquestionable source of mankind’s evolution, they are the determiners of all fate. And it is inevitable that we are conceptual beings for that is the ‘IS-ness’ on which mankind came into being.

Mankind is not alone in being aware but it is this concept that highlights mankind’s break from Chaos. This concept has its own independence from other concepts. It is as real as time or space in that it can be identified and separated from Chaos. Things can be said to be aware and a whole vocabulary can evolve as ‘things that are aware’ evolve but this didn’t happen in the beginning. Awareness came into the universe at a time in the evolution of the universe following the Big Bang not at the time of the event itself when, restrained by the shyness of its youth, awareness lies hidden, needing older concepts to forge the continuum that it needs.

Since the Big Bang each concept, old and new, has become part of a development tree of dimensions that is linked into chaos, attached at its proper place when the tree is ready. Remove a concept and Chaos returns.
