During Zeno’s time in history, it was thought the universe existed and the universe was thought to be the ‘only’ ‘container’ for both the concrete/physical – multiplicity and abstraction -seamlessness.

As such, abstract functionality becomes confused with concrete/physical functionality not because it became so but because there was no other perception available to those living at the time of Zeno.

Because abstraction and the concrete were viewed as being all within one container, those of that period became not only confused but remain confused. This confusion continued to remain in place for the next twenty-five hundred years and in fact, remains in place today. In fact, this perceptual confusion has had no potential alternative replacement until the development of the metaphysical concept of ‘being’ being ‘Being’ or generically speaking, symbiotic panentheism.

Removing the physical while leaving the abstract intact:

Three factors are involved with ‘being’ being ‘Being’:

  1. You, individuality/seamlessness, exists
  2. The universe – the physical/multiplicity, exists, and
  3. Causation, seamlessness/totality, exists. This needs some clarification for these are stated, as we would perceive them to be, from the point of reference of our being located within the universe itself.
