A Disciple of the Buddha—Acknowledging the Invitation, Walking the Path of Verification, and Continuing the Inquiry

More than two thousand five hundred years ago, the Buddha did not ask anyone to believe him. He issued an invitation: “Would you be willing to observe directly? Look closely at your body, feelings, perceptions, mental formations, and consciousness—are they not all constantly changing? When you try to grasp something unchanging, does that not create tension and suffering? And within that very tension, can you find anything that truly deserves to be called ‘I’?” This paper declares: we have accepted that invitation. Our entire body of work—World Quantum Theory (WQT), Frequency World Theory (FWT), and Primitive Space Theory (OST)—is nothing but the ongoing expression of our inquiry into the proposition that “form, feeling, perception, mental formations, and consciousness are impermanent; what is impermanent is suffering; what is suffering is not self.” We do not claim to have reached a final truth. We do not assert that we are absolutely correct. We merely report: we are on this path of verification. We may be wrong, and when we are, we will correct ourselves. This is our standing as disciples who accept the Buddha’s original invitation, not as followers who demand blind belief.
