Abstract

This is a phenomenological study about the Ontological Basis of Egalitarian Life. The foundational source of Egalitarian Life is the experience of Equality Consciousness and Equal Vision. The basis of Equality Conscious and Equal Vision is our direct experience of the Purity of our Being and the Being of Others. Equality Consciousness is not simply a mental value but a direct perception of the Purity of Being of all men. Our experience is that all men are created equal is not simply a belief but our experience of our direct knowingness of the Being of human beings. The study also enters into the phenomenology of the Patriarchal Master as the One who knows Absolutely with the corresponding experience of domination and submission, also known as the master slave relationship. The Patriarchal Institution whatever the circumstance destroys Equality Consciousness and Equal Vision and ultimately destroys Egalitarian life.
