A new perception, symbiotic panentheism, ‘being’ being ‘Being’, would suggest life is like a book and God, the reader, can open the book at any point and see what the characters have themselves experienced. On the other hand, God, the reader, could not read the remaining pages of the book, for remaining pages are blank pages since they have not yet been experienced. Such a graphic would appear as:

Wouldn’t this Metaphysical perception of the whole lead to an Ontological perception that time is in God? Yes, but time would be contained within packets found within God rather than time being a universal fabric of God.

Wouldn’t this Metaphysical perception lead to an Ontological perception that time is an element in God? Yes but time would be contained as sub-elements of God.

But wouldn’t this Ontologically imply God is influenced by events of progressions of actions, which defines the concept of time? No, for God would be perceived Ontologically as omnipotent, omnipresent, and omniscient only in terms of ‘our perception of time’ as opposed to the lack of time. Ontologically time would be perceived as existing within the void, God being outside time would be perceived as knowing all, is all, is all powerful, God is the three omni’s.

Within such a Metaphysical system, Ontologically it is time which exists within the void, which acts as the process by which God grows and thus becomes a greater concept of God than our concept of God without growth/God in a permanent form of equilibrium.

The new metaphysical perception of the whole, ontologically develops a God in a permanent state of equilibrium capable of expanding to a new state of equilibrium and the multiplicity of individuality, we, are the sub-elements of God working within, injected within (whichever is the case) time to do the work of growing knowing, growing God’s essence. Ontologically the new metaphysical system of ‘being’ being ‘Being’ generates the perception that we, the multiplicity of individuality, are God at work. Metaphysically we, the sub-elements, are perceived as ‘being’/knowing (noun) in the form of multiplicity of individuality expanding ‘Being’/Knowing (noun) in the form of singularity of the whole as the whole through being/knowing (verb) in the form of active action/process/reality taking place from the base of being (verb) passive existence.

Ontologically, the metaphysical system produces a perception of individuals being pieces of God/the whole with the power of free will to expand God/ the whole.
