3. The Amazing Universal Essence
1 Introduction
The intention of this essay is to draw attention to a fact that seems
obvious enough, but it certainly goes unnoticed by many people.
This fact is naming this essay, i.e., "The Universal Essence". As the
name suggests, "The Universal Essence" is the only input that exists
in nature. In other words, all existing things in the universe from
micro to macrocosm are composed of this essence. To be more
specific, this eBook aims to show why its author concluded that all
existing material forms, since the smallest particle to the galaxies are
made of a single entity, i.e., that everything is made of a "Universal
Essence". To show the consistency of this assumption, that is a
certainty for the author, the following procedure will be adopted:
First, we present the evidences for the existence of this "Universal
Essence". Later, we will list their existential prerequisites. Next, we
identify clearly and unambiguously the "Universal Essence" in order
to show that everybody knows it a long time. Finally, we will show
another side of this essence that is essential for the functioning of the
universe. Without further ado, let's see what are the facts
supporting the existence of this universal essence.

2 Existential Evidences
The purpose of this topic is to present facts to substantiate the claim
that everything in the universe are composed of a single entity, i.e.,
reveal why everything in the universe have the same essence.
The first fact that allows us to infer the existence of a universal
essence is the subliminal knowledge that we assimilate from our
eating need and the certainty of our death. The eating need and death
lead us to make sure that we are "processors", "output" and even
"input" into a huge system. We can be regarded as "processors"
because we process substances captured in environment and most of
them are cosmic waste that has already been processed by other
organisms. We are "output" too, because we expel to the
environment: gases, fluids, excrement, and even our bodies, when we
die. It is important to perceive that our "outputs" are also "inputs" in
the environment. This relationship of systemic interdependence
induces everybody to fell that we are made of dust and to dust we
shall return, or that all of we are systems where dust is the input and
output at the same time. This feeling is a collective perception that
leads everybody to know that all things have the same essence.

The second fact that supports the existence of a universal
essence is the natural organization. The organization of the
universe is undeniable, since all its components from the micro to the
macrocosm are complementary. It is not possible to say that the
working of the universe is chaotic, as this view may be just a figment
of our stage of cultural development. In other words, until we have
real evidence to the contrary, we can only say that the functioning of
the mechanism of the universe is unknown, nothing else. The
sciences only can say that all actually proven magic is that universe
is fully structured from the micro to the macrocosm in accordance
with the laws of nature. This structuring is evidence that allows
confirming the existence of a universal essence, because is fact that
the structural decomposition of the material forms and the reduction
of existential diversity go together. In other words, as deeper as the
diving into the microcosm, less existential possibilities will be found,
i.e., as smaller as a particle, fewer components it contains. Physics
tacitly admits that the structure of the universe leads to the possibility
that all things are made of the same entity. A prime example of this is
the construction of a particle accelerator with nearly 30 kilometers
long at CERN in Europe, because its mission is to find the smallest
portion of matter that exists, i.e., the Higgs boson, or God particle.

As we see in practice there is no conflict between the collective
perception and scientific view, since both lead to the same point, so
we just need to identify what are the relevant points to consider an
essence as universal.
3 Existential Prerequisites
This topic will present some facts that support certain that everything
in the universe is composed of a single entity. To get them, we'll start
trying to figure out what are the necessary properties for an entity
that could become itself in all things in the universe. First, this entity
should be able to turn itself into all material forms. Second, it would
also have to be alive, conscious, intelligent, autonomous and
sensitive. In other words, this entity should be able to support bodies
and to possess its own will.
This universal essence should not be material, because this restriction
is as important as the above properties. There are two reasons for
this: First reason, It´s fact that the interventionist ability of every
material form depends on its development stage. In other words, it is
6

7. The Amazing Universal Essence
known that as more as simplistic is a material form, as reduced as its
capability to interfere in the environment. Example: An atom has not
the same power we have to transform the environment, because its
structure does not allow it to think and mobilizing other forces like
we do; Second reason, a universal essence cannot be decomposed
into nothing more, since the existence of any entity that is capable of
decomposition is conditioned upon the existence of another entity, so
it has no autonomy to turn by itself in all the material things of the
universe.
In short, any entity to be candidate to universal essence must have its
own will and be immaterial, but with the capacity to materialize
itself. On this basis, "The Universal Essence" will be tentatively
called of "prematter". This concluding allows us to deduce and say
that the Higgs boson or God particle is not a universal essence,
because no matter how small it is, it always will be matter. Now that
we have the basic rules for identifying the "Universal Essence”, let's
see what is the only entity that satisfies them fully.

4 Identification of the Universal Essence
Now it's time to see, if there is some entity that fits the profile that
was traced to the "Universal Essence". For this, we use an
indisputable premise that can be found in the following famous
words of Lavoisier: "In nature nothing is created, nothing is lost,
everything is transformed!” This premise is the compulsory
transformation that nature imposes for its all children. It is evidence
that all things are ephemeral.
In other words, transformation, death or the end of all things from the
micro to the macrocosm is the starting point for identifying an entity
that can be a universal essence. If we start from the premise that all
things transform because they are events, we will be obligated to
conclude that "Universal Essence" is a force.
To check the veracity of this conclusion, it is first necessary to
explain more clearly what an event is. To stay as close as possible to
the sciences, we can say that every event is a phenomenon, fact or
happening which is produced by the action and reaction of a set of
forces. In other words, force is the only entity empowered to
materialize the reality. This means that the force has to be
immaterial, have its own will and materializable, because these are
8

9. The Amazing Universal Essence
the existential prerequisites for any entity that is a candidate for
"Universal Essence".
The only force with the necessary properties to be classified as
"Universal Essence" is the time. This statement may
seem odd because we're used to seeing the time just like a carpet
where all events occur or as a reference unit to measure the
duration of events and not as a living force. However, before
anything else is important to realize that every event is a temporal
movement. The expression "temporal movement is" is a redundancy
that was intentionally used to highlight the role of time in reality,
because the terms the facts, phenomena or happenings always
designate temporal entities. Time is the only entity capable of
producing temporal movements, because it is indisputable that "like
father like son". Time is the only entity that can turn into all things,
because in addition its immateriality it is able to materialize itself
through events, too. There is one pending yet, that is, how to show
that time also have its own will? To achieve this, it would be
necessary to explain the whole structure and functioning of nature.
This will not be done in this essay. However, we show another way
that also allows you to see the consistency of our proposition. For
this, we must consider the following expression: “Let it roll”. It
reflects our subliminal perception that all things are naturally driven
9

10. Jairo Alves
by the will of the time. Certainly, this perception is insufficient
evidence, however, valuable to note, that the universe is the biggest
existing event and its temporal movement known as evolution, can
only be justified if it is driven by a will. In other words, the
organization and functioning of the universe are so complex that not
credit them to a will that is the same as neglecting the statistical
science, since the probability of accidental occurrence of an event of
this magnitude is zero.
In summary, despite the disability of the argument above, except the
time, there is no other entity has the necessary qualifications to
compete for the role of "Universal Essence". This capability will be
strengthened in the next topic through an argument that is more
accessible to everybody.
5 The Vital Essence
In this topic we will learn because the time can also be considered
our "Vital Essence". To achieve this, we must firstly to remember the
following concepts, which we already seen earlier: The first concept
is that all things are events, since all of them are ephemeral,
10

11. The Amazing Universal Essence
including humans. The second concept is that all events are temporal
movements performed by a force that can turn itself into anything.
Now we need to analyze how to respond the following question:
What am I? Whenever we try to answer this question, we could find
only three categories of facts: our history, our senses and our power
to generate and sense events. These three categories of facts
can be related to the two above concepts as follows:
a) Every history is a chain of interdependent events, so every
story is supported by a force.
b) As we are moved by feelings, these feelings are evidences
that our will and force together compose our "Essence
Vital".
c) c) Our power is the result of a force, because we too are
children of nature and this is the only existing possibility to
generate and sense events. The force is only able to feel and
generate events because it has will intrinsic.
Assuming that everything is event, including ourselves, we are also
obligated to admit the possibility that our "Vital Essence" is the same
force of will that is able to turn itself into everything else in the
11

12. Jairo Alves
universe. In other words, time is also our essence, that is, time also is
the "Vital Essence" of the humans. In order to make easier to accept
this possibility, it's possible also add the following argument: We can
only talk about events, because all verbs can only narrate actions and
describe situations in events, i.e., every verbs refers to temporal facts.
Based on everything, we had already seen, now it is possible to
present an overview of reality, where time is the sole agent. This will
be done in the next topic through a very simple analogy.
6 Concluding Remarks
To facilitate understanding of the ideas presented till here and show
the feasibility of that time is a universal essence, we can see the
universe as a multi-dimensional immense origami. The term
"Origami" is of Japanese origin and nominate every sculpture that are
made by folding paper In this analogy, time is the only existing paper
that is autonomous to bend itself in all sculptures physical, chemical
and biological that materialize the universe. Of course, this means
that we can only have a holistic view of the universe, if we know in
detail how the time does to become itself in all material things. To
learn this, the author of this essay for over 35 years, has applied its
12

13. The Amazing Universal Essence
expertise in the area of data processing systems and
telecommunications networks to understand the engineering of
nature. This study produced "The Big Brain Theory ". This is the first
essay that explains the universe in a contemporary and fully
structured way. To learn more visit:
