Philosophy

Ontology and Process

At the heart of InnerDialogue is a lived ontology — one that bridges symbolic gesture, somatic resonance, and narrative revelation. This philosophical ground is not merely intellectual but experiential. It allows for a return to essence, through a layered encounter with surrender, memory, and embodied insight.

Surrender

Surrender is not submission but alignment. In our process, it denotes a quieting of the egoic directive and a return to Source. In Russian, the word used is подчинённый, implying subordination — yet here, it reflects the letting-go required for essence to emerge. It is symbolised by the dove, a sign of Grace, the Holy Spirit, and homecoming.

The Source – The Implicate Reality or Order

Source is not a deity, but the unfathomable ground from which all arises. It is prior to concept, name, or identity. Through surrender, the individual reorients not around self-image or trauma, but around Source — unconditioned, whole, and Singular.

Ontological Theme


  • Noumenon – The underlying, ungraspable reality beneath appearances.
  • Emanation – Reality unfolds from Source like light from the sun — non-dually.
  • Dialectic – The interplay of opposites produces deeper synthesis; the body often participates in this.
  • Great Chain of Being – An ancient map of reality from matter to spirit. We reimagine it developmentally rather than hierarchically.
  • Noetic – Knowledge that arises beyond reason; accessed through symbol and somatic reading.
  • Phenomenological
