Fourth is an image of Ultimate Reality as the ultimate goal or blessed state; here is the Buddhist goal of Liberation (Nirvana) and the Jain ideal of the soul in its most purified, divine stage (paramatman).

 ULTIMATE REALITY   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-07)
Since we as sentient finite beings are part of the matrix of reality, it would seem that the path that leads to unraveling the mystery of the essence of the Real must lie deep inside us.

 Science & Ultimate Reality
The purpose of the Science and Ultimate Reality program is to honor the vision of theoretical physicist John Archibald Wheeler in his 90th birthday year and take it forward into a new century of increasingly expanding discovery.
This vision holds that the process of the scientific "unveiling" of the deep nature of reality has profound significance for human self-understanding, especially in relation to the conceptualization of "ultimate reality" for the future.
It is our hope that the Science and Ultimate Reality program will provide a unique forum in which to pursue deep answers to the provocative questions posed by Wheeler and that continue to inspire the imaginations of the world's best and brightest students and researchers in science.

 20th WCP: The Ultimate of Reality: Reversible Causality
It is argued that a real (causal) process relating changes of any nature (physical, mental) and any sort (quantitative, qualitative, and substantial) reverses the order of its agency (action, influence, operation, producing): real causation must run in the opposite direction, or change to the opposite effect.
The situation is much complicated by the contradictory interpretations of metaphysics, or the first philosophy, dialectics, natural theology, transcendental philosophy, such as "the science of realities laying behind appearances" (Plato); "the science of being as such" (Aristotle); "the study of change; of events or processes" (Whitehead); what "concerns with the whole of reality" (Peirce).
There are really two different classes of processes: homogeneous (alike, similar, or identical in some respects) and heterogeneous (dissimilar, unlike).

 The Question of God . Other Voices . A. Newberg & E. D'Aquili | PBS
In comparing AUB to baseline reality, there is no question that AUB wins out as being experienced as "more real." People who have experienced AUB, and this includes some very learned and previously materialistically oriented scientists, regard AUB as being more fundamentally real than baseline reality.
Thus, the essential characteristic of different states of reality are eventually reducible only to the strength of the sense of reality, the phantasia catalyptica of the Stoics, or the Anwesenheit (compelling presence) of certain modern German philosophers.
A vivid sense of reality may be the only thing that we can use to help determine what is really real until someone determines a method for going beyond the brain's perception of reality.

 Central Sun's Theory of Ultimate Reality
The basis of this theory of the Ultimate Reality is an acknowledgement of a physical and a spiritual realm.
It is an ultimate reservoir of an infinite number of stories, each story being the life of a living creature.
At the opposite end there are artists who are constantly delving into the ultimate reservoir, working through the limitations of their mind and body to "create" or actually "re-create" that which they "felt." Thus we find the reason we are each different, although the same.

 Voluntarism [Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy]
Voluntarism is the theory that God or the ultimate nature of reality is to be conceived as some form of will (or conation).
Voluntarism is seen in Leibniz's view of the laws which govern monads (individual units of which all reality is composed) in so far as they are the laws of the conscious realization of ends.
19th century voluntarism has its origin in Kant, particularly his doctrine of the "primacy of the practical over the pure reason." Intellectually, humans are incapable of knowing ultimate reality, but this need not and must not interfere with the duty of acting as though the spiritual character of this reality were certain.

 the ultimate reality
The great seers and prophets can guide you and point out to you the path of redemption but ultimately it is for you to find out the path suitable to you and to start walking on that path by conviction, courage and fortitude.
It is ultimate and real cause of all things tangible and intangible experienced in life.
If, say the cosmologists, you go on tracing this link of effect and its cause, you must ultimately conclude that there is one final reality, the root cause of all effects, and it has sufficient reason within itself.

 The science of ultimate reality (from metaphysics) --  Encyclopædia Britannica
To answer these questions, another description of metaphysics has been proposed: that it is the science that seeks to define what is ultimately real as opposed to what is merely apparent.
