It is crucial to recognize that the coaching evolution movement of self-research for self-development begins with the Hylozoic worldview, the most relevant hypothesis of reality known to human beings, which posits three basic and inseparable aspects of existence, reality, and life: matter, consciousness, and motion/energy; the necessary condition of life in all connections.
The Hylozoic worldview is an ancient natural philosophy that offers a unique understanding of reality, in which all matter is considered inherently alive and potentially conscious. As a working
hypothesis, the hylozoic knowledge of reality is a comprehensive system that
transcends the traditional dichotomy of animate and inanimate.
At the heart of the Hylozoic worldview is a tripartite reality consisting of matter, consciousness, and motion/energy. These three aspects are inseparable and exist in all things, including human beings.
In this worldview, reality is not just the observable universe but extends to a network of 49 interconnected and interpenetrating atomic worlds. While ascending these worlds, each higher world is characterized by a decreasing density of primordial atoms, or monads.
Monads are the fundamental building blocks of existence; they are not merely energetic physical entities but are also imbued with evolving consciousness (potential, inactive, or activated) across all 49 worlds. Human beings have the latent capacity to evolve, through one-pointed purposiveness, by developing self-consciousness centered in ever-ascending worlds as individual monads.
The Hylozoic worldview also encompasses the concept of evolution through six kingdoms within the solar system. Human evolution is not linear but involves the broad remodeling of human triadic envelopes (beings) over countless lifespans. As humans, we inhabit the lower part (solar-system worlds 49-43) of this massive 49-world cosmic ascension, thereby evolving worldly self-consciousness.
In essence, the Hylozoic worldview presents a holistic interpretation of existence, in which every fragment of the whole, including humans, is part of an energetic, interconnected network of evolving consciousness. It's a worldview that sees reality not as a collection of separate entities but as a complex, interconnected network of evolving individuals (monads) to which we are integral.
As portrayed above, knowing, understanding, and having a
worldview is just the beginning; we exist, and yes, I get it. But what of life?
What are we doing during our existence? That is what we need to start calling
our life view. So there is a relationship, a worldview, and a life-view relationship.
These definitions highlight the distinction between the objective, material understanding of the world (worldview) and the subjective, internal understanding of existence (lifeview), while also acknowledging their interdependence in forming a complete picture of reality and existence.
