evolutionary convergence

While evolution has been primarily divergent during the past fourteen billion years—leading to the chaos the world is in today—during the past four hundred years, a sequence of cosmologies has emerged that has carried evolutionary convergence to its glorious culmination, at its Omega Point.

universal

In Integral Relational Logic, universals are concepts or mental images formed by abstracting the attributes of particular instances. For instance, in our lifetimes we may eat many different apples, each of which is represented as a particular concept in the mind. All these experiences lead to the abstract concept of apple, as a universal, which does not match any particular observation in what people call the ‘real world’.

university

Since the fourteenth century, a university has been the entire body of teachers and scholars engaged, at a particular place, in giving and receiving instruction in the higher branches of learning; such persons associated together as a society or corporate body.

Universe

In Panosophy, Universe is the Totality of Existence, most exquisitely denoted by the Sanskrit word Satchitānanda ‘Bliss of Absolute Truth and Consciousness’.
