The Linguistics of YHWH, the Ontology of 'The Existent', and the Integration of Universal Consciousness
Zenodo (CERN European Organization for Nuclear Research) February 28, 2026 Jimmy Yuanda Mahardhika
The Tetragrammaton YHWH is not a proper noun but an ontological statement derived from the Hebrew root ḥ-y-h/h-w-h, encoding continuous, self-sustaining, reflexively self-grounding Being. This same formal structure of singular, self-subsisting, self-knowing Being appears independently in Western ontology (Parmenides, Aristotle, Aquinas's Ipsum Esse Subsistens), Sufi metaphysics (Ibn ʿArabī's Waḥdat al-Wujūd), and Tantric Javanese philosophy (Mpu Tantular's Bhinneka Tunggal Ika). The convergence is neither accident nor projection: each tradition, pursuing the question of Being rigorously, encounters consciousness as the condition for ontological disclosure. Levinas's ethical critique is answered by showing non-dual consciousness radicalizes responsibility. Theravāda anattā and Kabbalistic Ein Sof are clarified as convergent; Jainism, Sāṃkhya, and Cārvāka sharpen the thesis's epistemological core.
