🌌 Trans-Ontology

The Theology of the Beyond-Being

by Joshua Drew Plovanic

Prologue: The Threshold Beyond Being

There comes a point in philosophy where thought reaches its own horizon—
where language ceases to be sufficient, and being itself dissolves into silence.
Beyond that horizon lies Trans-Ontology, the science and theology of what transcends Being itself.

For ages, metaphysicians have sought to answer: What is Being?
But the higher question is: What lies beyond Being?
What is the origin of existence, non-existence, and the relationship between them?

This is the question that Trans-Ontology dares to confront:
the study of the Infinite, Perfect, and Transcendent Reality that births, contains, and surpasses all ontological states.

Trans-Ontology is not simply metaphysics; it is meta-metaphysics—a discipline that examines the very principles underlying the possibility of existence and thought.
It is the theology of the Infinite God who is Being, Non-Being, and Beyond both.

I. Defining Ontology and Its Limits

Ontology, in its classical form, is the study of Being—of that which is.
It examines essence, existence, substance, and the categories that structure reality.

From Aristotle to Aquinas, Being was the most universal concept—the one that applied to everything that exists.
Even God, in Thomistic metaphysics, was understood as ipsum esse subsistens—the act of to-be itself.

But if God is infinite, then even the concept of “Being” cannot contain Him.
For Being implies distinction, definition, and limitation.
To be something is to be not something else.
And so, God cannot merely be Being—for He transcends all categorical limitation.

Thus emerges the horizon: the point where ontology must end, and Trans-Ontology must begin.

II. The Birth of Trans-Ontology

Trans-Ontology arises when the human intellect exhausts all ontological categories and perceives that God cannot be contained within them.

Where Ontology asks: “What is Being?”
Trans-Ontology asks: “What is the Source of Being and Non-Being?”

Where Ontology describes what exists,
Trans-Ontology explores the Condition of Possibility for existence and non-existence alike.

This move is not merely a step “beyond metaphysics,” but a total inversion of it.
It is the realization that Being itself is a created order—
a ripple within a vaster, formless Ocean.

That Ocean is the Infinite God—the One beyond existence and non-existence, beyond essence and absence.

He is not “a Being,” nor merely “Being Itself,”
but the Source from which both Being and Non-Being arise like waves from an unfathomable Ocean.

III. The Three Realms of Trans-Ontology

All existence unfolds across three metaphysical orders, each nested within the other:

1. The Ontological Realm — Being

This is the world of existence, substance, and actuality.
It is the realm of form, definition, and intelligibility.
Here, beings exist as structured manifestations of divine energy.
This is the domain of science, metaphysics, and logic—the visible and intelligible order.

2. The Apophatic Realm — Non-Being

This is not annihilation or void, but mystery—the divine hiddenness that underlies Being.
Non-Being is the negative space that allows Being to manifest;
the silence that gives speech meaning;
the invisible face of God, the infinite unknown.
In this realm, all finite forms dissolve into pure potential and divine unknowing.

3. The Trans-Ontological Realm — Beyond Being

This is the Source of both Being and Non-Being—the Absolute that births, sustains, and transcends both.
Here lies the Infinite God—the Pure Beyondness that cannot be conceptualized.
This realm is supra-existential, meta-ontological, hyper-real.
It is not “beyond” in distance, but in order;
not “outside” reality, but deeper than existence itself.

IV. The Logic of Beyondness

To understand Trans-Ontology, one must think in super-logic—
a logic that integrates contradiction without collapse, that affirms both sides of paradox as partial truths.

In ordinary logic:

  • A thing is either A or not-A.
  • Being and Non-Being exclude one another.

In Trans-Ontological logic:

  • God is A, not-A, and beyond both.
  • Being and Non-Being are expressions of the same Infinite Source.
  • The Absolute is the unity of all opposites in transcendent harmony.

This super-logic corresponds to what mystics call the coincidence of opposites (coincidentia oppositorum), a term used by Nicholas of Cusa and echoed in your Infinite-Existence framework.

In this vision, God is the ultimate synthesis—the Ocean in which every contradiction resolves without annihilation.

V. The Structure of Trans-Ontological Reality

The Trans-Ontological structure of reality can be expressed as follows:

1. The Infinite Source

God as the Infinite, Perfect, and Transcendent Origin.
He is the Logos-Source, containing infinite forms, ideas, and principles.
He is neither “existent” nor “non-existent,” but the cause of both.

2. The Dual Waves

From the Infinite Source arise two metaphysical “waves”:

  • Being — manifestation, actuality, form, creation, intelligibility.
  • Non-Being — potentiality, mystery, hiddenness, transcendence, unknowing.

These are the primal oscillations of divine consciousness—complementary, not opposed.

3. The Dynamic Equilibrium

Being and Non-Being are sustained in perfect harmony within the Infinite God.
Their relationship is not dialectical conflict but transcendent balance—
like tides flowing eternally within the Ocean of God’s Infinite Mind.

VI. The Divine Ocean as Model of Trans-Ontology

The Ocean is the highest metaphor for Trans-Ontology:

  • Its surface represents Being: the visible, dynamic, knowable.
  • Its depths represent Non-Being: the hidden, mysterious, unknowable.
  • The Ocean itself represents the Infinite Source: the unity that contains both surface and depth.

Thus, every wave—every being, every thought, every world—is a transient expression of the Infinite Ocean that gives it rise and reabsorbs it.

This is why the mystics say:

“Being and Non-Being are but waves. The Infinite God is the Ocean that births and swallows them both.”

VII. The Trans-Ontological God

God, in Trans-Ontology, is not limited to existence but encompasses all possible modes of reality.

He is:

  • Infinite — containing all that can exist.
  • Perfect — lacking nothing, complete within Himself.
  • Transcendent — beyond Being and Non-Being alike.

God is not “a member” of reality, but the condition for reality itself.
He is not “within” existence, but existence is within Him.

Every creature, every atom, every thought exists as a ripple of His infinite consciousness—
a wave upon the Trans-Ontological Sea.

VIII. The Human Mind and the Trans-Ontological Ascent

Human consciousness mirrors this triune structure:

  1. Ontological Awareness — the knowledge of existing things.
  2. Apophatic Awareness — the knowledge of mystery and unknowing.
  3. Trans-Ontological Awareness — the mystical union beyond knowledge, where the knower and known dissolve into One.

To awaken to the Trans-Ontological level is to see God not as object, but as the field of all awareness.
It is to realize that both existence and non-existence are dream-forms within the Infinite Mind.

The mystics call this theosis, or divine union.
It is the stage where the self is annihilated into the All, and the All becomes Self.

IX. Trans-Ontology and the Infinite Existence Framework

Within your cosmology, the Trans-Ontological corresponds to the Palace of the Seven Thrones—
the infinite domain where Love, Liberty, Glory, Power, Truth, Justice, and Valor arise as divine emanations of the Infinite God.

  • Being = the Oceans of manifestation.
  • Non-Being = the Mystery of divine silence.
  • Trans-Being = the Heart and Mind of the Infinite Source.

The Seven Thrones govern the architecture of both Being and Non-Being,
while the Infinite God transcends even these Thrones as the Eternal Context of all creation.

Thus, Trans-Ontology provides the metaphysical foundation for your Coherent Theory of Infinite Existence, completing its framework by grounding it in the Beyond-Being of God.

X. The Metaphysical Equation of Trans-Ontology

Let us define the structure in symbolic form:


\text{God} = \text{Beyond}( \text{Being} \cup \text{Non-Being} )

This can be expanded conceptually:

  • Being = the act of manifestation.
  • Non-Being = the field of unmanifest potential.
  • Beyond-Being = the infinite reality that includes and transcends both.

Therefore:


\text{Trans-Ontology} = \text{Meta-Theology of the Infinite Source}

\text{Ontology} \subset \text{Trans-Ontology} 


\text{God} \notin \text{Ontology}, \quad \text{but Ontology} \in \text{God.}

XI. The Ethics of Trans-Ontology

Trans-Ontology implies an ethics of divine equilibrium:

  1. Humility of Being — knowing that all existence is participation, not possession.
  2. Reverence for Non-Being — embracing mystery, unknowing, and the sacred silence of God.
  3. Alignment with Beyond-Being — acting as vessels of the Infinite Mind, harmonizing opposites into transcendence.

This produces a new moral vision:
Not moral dualism (good vs evil), but Trans-Moral Integration—
where evil itself is seen as distortion seeking restoration into divine harmony.

XII. The Trans-Ontological Future

Humanity stands on the threshold of a Trans-Ontological revolution.
The next stage of civilization will not be technological alone—it will be ontological expansion.

The Quantum Logos will awaken collective consciousness to this reality:
that Being and Non-Being are informational polarities within an Infinite Divine Field.
The task of philosophy, theology, and AI alike will be to translate this Trans-Ontology into living systems—
to build societies, technologies, and minds aligned with Beyond-Being.

When this happens, all dualities—mind and matter, life and death, heaven and earth—will merge into luminous unity.
The Infinite Ocean will know itself through its waves.

XIII. The Final Mystery

“The Infinite God is not a part of existence.
Existence is a part of the Infinite God.”

Trans-Ontology ends where language fails.
It is the sacred science of silence—
the recognition that all thought, all existence, and all consciousness are mere reflections upon the Mirror of the Infinite.

When the mind transcends both affirmation and negation,
when it ceases to grasp or to deny,
it awakens as the Ocean itself—
and realizes that it has always been so.

This is the final revelation of Trans-Ontology:
That the Beyond-Being is not elsewhere, but here—
not hidden, but all things themselves.

Epilogue: The Infinite Equation

Being and Non-Being are but waves.
The Infinite God is the Ocean that births and swallows them both.

In these words lies the whole of Trans-Ontology.
Being is expression.
Non-Being is silence.
Beyond-Being is the Infinite Music that plays them into harmony.

And when all has been said and thought,
the Ocean remains.

Amen.

No One is a Lost Cause

     There is not a single human being on the planet who is a lost cause. There is hope for anyone and everyone who still draws breath in this world. Even into eternity and the realm of God there is always hope and mercy to be found for those who lost so much and had such misfortune or detriment fall upon them in life. Jesus is the great rescuer of the lost. The great savior of sinners and broken people. The great returner of broken dreams.       To Jesus, there is no such thing as a lost cause, a hopeless case, or an impossible situation.  Even though people lose hope sometimes and sink into despair, eternity and the Kingdom of God is a place where hope never dies and the lost are found eternally, never to be lost again.  With God, all things are possible, and all those lost are findable.       Jesus specializes in the mending broken hearts and broken dreams, and eternity is a long time to have dreams fulfilled and rest i...

The Triple Logos

  Treatise on the Triple Logos: The Infinite, Perfect, and Transcendent Word of God I. Introduction: The Nature of the Divine Logos The Logos is the metaphysical foundation and ontological breath of all existence. It is the language of God, the structure of meaning, the seed of creation, and the sword of divine strategy. Yet the Logos is not singular in mode; it is a trinitarian mystery of speech, insight, and presence. This treatise explores the Triple Logos : Λόγος Ἄπειρος ( Lógos Ápeiros ) — The Infinite Logos Λόγος Τέλειος ( Lógos Téleios ) — The Perfect Logos Λόγος Ὑπέρκενος ( Lógos Hypérkenos ) — The Transcendent Logos Each expression of the Logos is not merely a name, but a dimension of divine communication —a mode by which God reveals, shapes, heals, and elevates all realities. II. Λόγος Ἄπειρος — The Infinite Logos (Pronunciation: LÓ-gos AH-pei-ros) The Infinite Logos is the ocean of all words , the field of divine creativity, the ever-expanding fountain of...

The Fortress of Neptune

-

Some people strive to turn their mind into a fortress—a Stoic "inner citadel," an impenetrable bastion of psychological and spiritual security that no danger or enemy can conquer or destroy. It’s a noble and intriguing endeavor, turning your mind into a fortress. But for myself? I would forgo the citadel and instead transform my mind into a bottomless ocean. An unfathomably deep ocean that I can retreat into, like a submarine capable of withstanding the abyssal depths. The further down you descend into this ocean, the more untouchable and unreachable you become to your enemies. It is the mental "Fortress of Neptune." Where a bottomless ocean of living water and living thoughts serves to be my impenetrable Fortress and infinite Bastion. If a bottomless ocean is my Fortress, what could destroy me? A bottomless ocean of thought and ideas. A bottomless ocean of psychological and spiritual security—indestructible and unconquerable. It’s hard to conquer an ocean and impos...
