PRESENTATION: Observing my own interest in Education as the best way to serve others but, at the same time, realizing that I could not believe in the existing teaching schemes, which, in my view, only contribute to the perpetuation of the condition of human spiritual slavery, I sought to develop the best Christian philosophy I could pro-duce, with the intention of serving others in the best way possible.
- INTRODUCTION
1.1. Definition: Monadophily is a Christian philosophy that proposes love for Uni-ty as the form and goodness of Being, in the form of self-love (First M.), love for God (Greater M.), and love for others (Lesser M.). ♥
1.2. Objectives and Program: To produce the best theory that explains the total meaning of the present existential condition of the human being, and the best practice for responsible and happy human action within this theory. The work program consists of presenting this Introduction, the Initial Freedoms (prereq-uisites), the Basic Concepts (what the Monad is), the Advanced Concepts (how the Monad operates), and the Theological Themes (speculative review). ♥ - INITIAL FREEDOMS
2.1. First Freedom: Those who wish to contemplate the propositions of Monad-ophily must have free time to be at leisure in peace, to be nourished in free-dom and leisure (scholēn echei scholazein en eirēnē, en eleutheria kai scholē trephetai / σχολὴν ἔχει σχολάζειν ἐν εἰρήνῃ ἐν ἐλευθερίᾳ καὶ σχολῇ τρέφεται). ♥
2.2. Second Freedom: Liberation against the cults of false objects of belief that block the future admission of the MSGB.
2.2.1. Against Nothingness (Nihilism): The belief in non-being, or Nothing-ness, is impossible since its consideration always starts from something that has some participation in Being. Moreover, it is necessary to prelimi-narily affirm the goodness of Being by the corollary of the reason for any possible condemnation of Being: if non-being were better, it would mean that some possible being would be more convenient; therefore, the desire for non-being is the desire for being. ♥
2.2.2. Against Chaos (Cacolatry): The impossibility of validating the primacy of Chaos from an intellect that only understands what is ordered, in addi-tion to the improbability that from a less ordered, or unordered, higher plane, a lower plane could have emerged with relatively greater internal order, due to the entropic tendency of any system. ♥
2.2.3. Against Nature (Naturalism): Submission of any ordering of a Natural Law to a transcendent instance that produces this order without being lim-ited or defined by it. ♥
2.2.4. Against Man (Humanism, Anthropolatry): Since man is necessarily ig-norant, weak, and evil, in any scale or measure, his substantial form has a definition that is incompatible with any past or future ideal that violates this limit. ♥ - BASIC CONCEPTS
3.1. Simple Substance: An ontological or metaphysical unity without parts, neces-sary for any possible composition of being or manifestation. Also called the Monad. ♥
3.2. Relation between the One and the Multiple: The Unity, being the form of Be-ing, possesses as its matrix, in its singularity, the infinite potentiality of any being derived from its substance, that is, of all the possible forms of Multi-plicity. ♥
3.3. Properties and Operations: What the Monad does.
3.3.1. Intellect-Perception: The Monad understands itself, from its Unity, as an object of Perception. Its Intellect produces its Perception. ♥
3.3.2. Will-Appetition: Since the Good is the form of Being, the Monad desires to perceive itself. Its Will produces its Appetition, which is the love for what is good. ♥
3.4. Uncreated Monad: The Absolute Being, God.
3.4.1. Infinitude: It possesses the infinite capacity to realize its Intellect and, therefore, also its Will. ♥
3.4.2. Sufficiency: It fully realizes Perception and Appetition within itself, and thus knows and is known within itself, and loves and is loved within itself (it has its own light). Since both the subject and the object of acts of knowledge and love must be real, the sufficiency of the Uncreated Monad implies the constitution of the Triune God: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. ♥
3.4.3. Immutability: Fully realizing itself within itself, it does not move from potentiality to act. It does not change because it does not need to change, so that all action outside itself is purely gratuitous (pure love).
3.5. Created Monad: The created being which, being real, must be a monad.
3.5.1. Finitude: It has a limited Intellect, capable of realizing a limited Percep-tion, as well as a limited Will, capable of producing a limited Appetition. ♥
3.5.2. Insufficiency: It does not actualize its potentiality by itself, depending on the creative movement of the Uncreated Monad to realize its Percep-tion and Appetition. It needs to be created and maintained in operation by divine substance (it does not have its own light). ♥
3.5.3. Mobility: By perceiving and desiring within its limit, it moves from po-tentiality to the act of its Intellect and Will, producing successive percep-tions that are also successively desired. It generates in its Intellect the necessary dimensions for the function of succession, such as time, space, etc. ♥ - ADVANCED CONCEPTS
4.1. Metarational Teleology of the Supreme Good (MTSG): The admission of the intellectual convenience of the Good as the form and final cause of Being, whose demonstration is impossible since the Uncreated Monad cannot have its essence known by the created monad, being therefore an object of Will rather than of Intellect, an object of loving contemplation rather than of knowledge. However, given that the substantial form of the created monad itself possesses the Will that produces Appetition, it is fitting that Being corresponds to this property. Through self-knowledge, the created being recognizes in the Uncre-ated what is fitting to be postulated of it, even though it can never be dominat-ed—that is, its creative love. ♥
4.2. Coruscance: The fullness of the realization of the created monad, and its des-tiny, is the perfect alignment of its Perception with its Appetition, and of its Appetition with what is fitting for it (“to want what one ought to and to have what one wants”), which requires that the Uncreated Monad grant it this reali-zation through communion with its infallibility. This is eternal or paradisiacal life, also called Salvation: the unlimited succession of perceptions adequate to the monad’s appetitions in a state of perfection. ♥
4.3. Eleutheriodicy: Since the paradisiacal state of Coruscance requires absolute, flawless perfection, it is necessary that the created monad, having free Will, desires to realize this state. However, it is not possible to freely choose Corus-cance while already experiencing it, for being flawless, it could not be freely rejected. This means that the realization of Coruscance requires a prior experi-ence of a previous state of Mixture between divine Good and its absence—the imperfection we call Evil (also known as the Mixture of Light and Dark-ness)—in the necessary measure for the created monad to recognize its own free will in choosing divine Good as its particular destiny. ♥
4.4. Singular Reason for Minimal Mixture (SRMM): The necessary measure for a created monad to be able to choose divine Good is its Singular Reason for Minimal Mixture, which in Christian theology corresponds to the meaning of the Cross. This is the minimal weight of suffering that the created monad must experience for the self-knowledge of its free will in choosing Good to be com-pleted. ♥
4.5. Arbitration of Excessive Mixture (AEM): Beyond the SRMM determined by divine Providence, the created monad is allowed to determine its own Arbitra-tion of Excessive Mixture in the self-knowledge of its Will. If this freedom is taken away, Coruscance is not possible. Just as an excess of Mixture is not fit-ting, neither is the judgment of another who exercises this freedom in accord-ance with divine will. ♥
4.6. Seven Gifts: Spiritual resources granted by the Uncreated Monad that assist in the practice of love by the created monad.
4.6.1. Humility against Presumption: Recognition of limitation and fallibility, which frees from the lie of the monad’s false qualities, especially strength, goodness, and wisdom. Also called the Sacrifice of Communion. ♥
4.6.2. Presence against Idolatry: Awareness of the total experience of life be-fore the Uncreated Monad, directed toward the fulfillment of this relation-ship first and above all, freeing from the lie of the subsistence of any oth-er reality outside this relationship. ♥
4.6.3. Praise against Seduction-Pact with Death: The conversion of the desire for all particular goods into the worship of their eternal source in the Beauty of the Uncreated Monad, freeing from any need for experience in present contingency through the guarantee of the perpetual enjoyment of divine Beauty in Eternity. Any possible immediate good is always trans-formed into satisfaction with the promise of the divine Inheritance. ♥
4.6.4. Passion against Terror-Pact with Hell: The ability to endure the conse-quences of the experience of Mixture by trusting in the goodness of the decree of its finitude, freeing from the illusion of the subsistence of Evil. ♥
4.6.5. Sovereignty against Gnosticism: Awareness of the supremacy of the Will in choosing an ineffable Good, freeing from the lie that any contin-gent knowledge could impose an obligatory belief that the Will cannot ar-bitrate. ♥
4.6.6. Vigilance against Naivety: The astuteness to separate the experience of Mixture from its spiritual meaning, freeing from the lies of its legitimiza-tion; from the worship of any “god” that lacks the sufficiency of the Tri-une God, which can only be false by depending on creation to realize its form through relationship, to know and be known, and to love and be loved; from the Ouroboros Pact; from the Ouroboros Dialectic; and from the temptation to participate in the System of the Beast. ♥
4.6.7. Discernment against Psychism: The distinction of the spiritual nature of influences and suggestions that are accepted or rejected by the free will of the created monad, freeing from the lie of psychic causality over the movements of the Will. ♥
4.7. Metareflexivity, the Sacrament of the Present Moment: Consciousness gen-erated by the fuller and more continuous possession of the gift of Presence, which allows the appreciation of divine creativity in determining the quality of the objects of Perception (Clarity), as well as the subjective quality of the per-ceiving Intellect (Crystallinity). ♥ - THEOLOGICAL THEMES
5.1. Adam: Chose to betray the love for God and usurp Creation through the Ouro-boros Pact (Original Sin), offering the worship of the Serpent for all descend-ants (Primordial Tradition) in exchange for Gnosis (knowledge of Mixture). ♥
5.2. Cain: Chose to betray the love for his neighbor (Abel), taking revenge against his brother’s preference, who was deceived by the Primordial Tradition. ♥

5.5. Noah: Chose to restart the Ouroboros Pact of his own free will, without intrin-sic or extrinsic necessity. ♥
5.6. Abraham: Chose to trust in the Covenant as a promise for carnal descendants, mixing the Works of the Flesh with the Works of the Spirit. ♥
5.7. Moses: Chose to distrust divine order, the work of Separation, and reiterated the belief in salvation for carnal descendants. ♥

5.12.2. Faith and Miracles: He confirmed and bore witness to the wickedness of humanity, as the majority doubted His goodness and only trusted in His power. ♥
5.12.3. Cross: He tore the veil of the temple of human lies, showed that God is good, capable of saving even those who unjustly murdered Him, and that the Accuser is merely a lying and murderous spirit, the false god of the temples originating from the Primordial Tradition. ♥
5.12.4. Resurrection: He once again demonstrated the goodness of His Creation and the ultimate meaning of Salvation for all who believe. ♥
