I am presenting a view of ‘Three Primary Orders’ that is not consistent with Shankara’s Non-Dualism or ‘ADVAITA’ doctrine. In his view, Soul and God are real and Matter is unreal, or product of Grand Illusion. His view demands separation of Man; 1.Body is unreal, and 2. Soul is real. His doctrine of Advaita lays its emphasis on Identity of Soul and God whereas I stress importance of UNITY between the two distinct entities called Man and God. Soul enters Man to establish Unity between Man and God for God remains Unmanifest in Physical World and Universe of Matter. If God, the Divine, Supreme Principle is present everywhere at the same time, the Divine is present in both Material and Immaterial Dimensions. I describe God as ‘Master Architect’ who uses Matter, Energy, Time, and Space in Creative manner to manifest His Creation.
I define “Whole Medicine” as a systematic study of the Physical, Mental, Moral, Social, and Spiritual aspects of Man’s well-being in relation to health and disease while the man e…
I want to inform my readers that I am participating in this discussion to develop the concept of ‘Whole Man’ and ‘Whole Medicine’. To that extent, I am seeking use of verified knowledge that can have practical application in promoting the well-being of Man of any race, any gender, any nationality, any age, any skin color, or of any language.
Sri. Aurobindo Ghosh (1872-1950), Indian mystic philosopher, in his book titled ‘LETTERS ON YOGA’, page 576, writes, “The individual is only an entity in a much vaster totality just like you: You have lots of cells in your body; each cell has its own consciousness and you have a consciousness of your total individuality, though made up of all these small cellular consciousness.”
It is apparent from his writing that Man’s Individuality is made up of consciousness contributed by Independent, Living Cells of his entire organism for they constitute the Building Blocks of Human Body. For that reason, I have to use the concept of ‘Whole Cell’ to describe the concept of ‘Whole Man.’
SPIRITUALITY SCIENCE – “I AM REAL.” INDIVIDUAL THINGS EXIST INDEPENDENTLY OF THE MIND’S PERCEPTION OF THEM.
I speak of Spirituality Science which holds that ‘Man is Real’. As per the theory or philosophical doctrine called ‘REALISM’, Individual Things exist independently of the mind’s perception of them. The term “REAL” describes the fact of existence independent of both human mind and the imaginative power of the Individual Object. I use the concept of ‘Whole Cell’ to describe myself in “REAL” terms.

SPIRITUALITY SCIENCE – “I AM REAL.” MY VIEW CONTRADICTS SHANKARA’S DOCTRINE FOR I CLAIM MATTER IS REAL.
I seek harmony between doctrines of Idealism and Realism to account for human existence. I welcome thoughts from all directions to understand the nature of Human Identity and Individuality. The multicellular human organism exists as Physical, Mental, Social, Moral, Spiritual being with a Creative Form that cannot be duplicated. For purposes of brevity and simplicity, I divide the human being into two categories; 1. The first is 'SELF' and it represents man as Physical, Mental, and Social Being and 2. The second is, the 'KNOWING-SELF' which represents man as Moral, Rational and Spiritual Being."I am Consciousness, therefore I am", is the proposition that I use to understand the nature of man's Identity and Individuality. Man is a Mortal Being whose Life and Death are operated by Oxidation-Reduction Chemical Reactions. The Physical Being is dissolved by the powerful influence of Time which seem to operate Natural Law of Aging. Things in Nature change with Time but the Identity and Individuality of Man remains the same during his Life Journey. The genotype remains unchanged while the phenotype appears to be changing all the time. In the multicellular human organism, the Consciousness functions to establish Identity of the organism and to defend its Individuality. Consciousness also establishes the Connection, Partnership, Relationship, Yoking, Joining, and Association between the energy dependent man and his energy provider. Man exists in Nature because of his ability to acquire energy from external environmental source. Consciousness in its essence refers to this awareness of energy dependence. I describe the Connection between energy seeker and energy provider as 'God Connection'. Man during all the stages of his existence, and under any given circumstance, either in good health, or ill-health exists on the basis of this 'God Connection' which is an attribute of biological or living function called Consciousness. This conditioned nature of human existence is supported by Power/Energy/Force which can be experienced as Compassion/Mercy/Grace of the Creator who created man as an Individual with unique genome that has never existed in the past and also will never exist in the future. I seek the Unity of Man in Body, Mind, and Soul unlike other common Indian traditions that seek to verify Identity between Human Soul and Divine Soul. My doctrine can be described as Unity Theory of Non-Dualism.
