Kinds of Being

Manifestation's dissection into transcendental and immanent realms follows the form of the distinction of meta-physical from mundane limited finite matters. It cannot be maintained and slips away and is thus ultimately groundless.

What is transcendent is identified with Pure Presence Being (present-at-hand) by Heidegger. This is because it imposes the criteria of pure availability on what is manifest which is the transcendent principle of freedom.

What is immanent is identified with Process Being (ready-to-hand) by Heidegger.

Because it cannot be maintained two cases arise:

Transcendence in the Immanent which may be identified with Hyper Being.

This is when there is some unmanifest transcendental within the immanent.

Immanent in the Transcendent which may be identified with Wild Being.

This is when the transcendent bursts into the immanent realm.


Another way to derive the kinds of Being systematically is to look at the four propositions if Indian Logic:

is opposite

which in turn are opposite both

is opposite


We speak of the Kindness Of Being because together the four kinds of Being provide the structural basis within the groundlessness of our world. Our world is our home in which we dwell. Thus the different kinds of Being working together give us our dwelling place in the world. The main way that they do that is by providing us with the ability to abstract and idealize phenomena. They form the basis of our noesis that arises out of the noema. Both noesis and noema make up the totality of what our intentionality posits. Intentionality operates in the present-at-hand. But it breaks down into noesis and noema which form a spectrum that we move back and forth along in the process of receiving manifestation (or projecting it as the case may be). Within the noetic and nomeatic contents of consciousness that we apprehend there are non-manifest aspects that continually act on our consciousness in myriad ways. Ultimately we find out that the totality of the manifest IS the unmanifest. In other words we see the unmanifest in its traces as it acts on the whole of consciousness. This mixing of the manifest and the unmanifest is Wild Being where as the recognition of the unmanifest as transcendence within immanence is Hyper Being. Hyper Being 'appears' when we bring opposite processes within consciousness against each other so they cancel out. The cancellation of opposite processes is Hyper Being. It is the Clearing of Being rather than the Cleaning in Being that we see as processes that give us the transparency of the world.
