Whether our purpose is mere psychophysical survival or, in the evolved stage, transcendental realization of the eternal immanence of the Absolute Truth, applying our daily activities to any larger purpose requires conceptions of meaning and value. Meaning is the fruit of the tree of ontology, or the science of origins.

The three religious groups comprising Western culture share a common root ontology. On the surface, this claim may appear absurd, but deeper analysis shows that any differences among these three religious traditions are purely superficial. All three religions subscribe to identical core values.

This table compares three ontologies: Judeo-Christian-Islamic Ontology (JCI), Western Empirical Scientific Ontology (WES), and the Esoteric Teaching (ET).

"Concerned scientists aware of the coming technological Singularity are trying their best to warn the government and educate influential people, but it is difficult for non-scientists even to comprehend the issue. The fact is that knowledge is power, and the generation of infinite knowledge is potentially infinite power—if anyone can understand the meaning of it all."

"The one certainty is that no ontology developed by limited human intelligence will be capable of dealing with the Singularity, which by definition is an event caused by greater-than-human intelligence. To meet the challenge of the Singularity, we must therefore search for a valid ontology that is also a product of greater-than-human intelligence."

"We need a new and more powerful ontology—now! Therefore we sincerely invite the members of the scientific community, who already understand the pressing need, to thoroughly investigate the Vedic transcendental ontology."
