Abstract

This manuscript presents “Māyā” – The Consciousness Causal Model of Psychological Existence (CCMPE), a structured, non-materialist framework for a “Grand Unified Theory – a Consciousness Systematic Metaphysics” that definitively establishes: i. A non-materialist, monistic Ontology (One Absolute Causal Entity: Consciousness/Brahman) with a Teleological Principle. ii. A structured Psychoanalytic Framework—a phase-based developmental model of the Psyche with explicit variables, serving as a descriptive and predictive phenomenological model. iii. An Entropic Model—an information-theoretic teleological framework for psychological development that explains the entire purpose of Evolution, both physical and psychological. CCMPE formalizes the implicit metaphysics of Advaita Vedānta into a rigorous, axiomatic system. It provides a non-materialist solution to the “Hard Problem of Consciousness” and a “Unified Developmental Theory for Psychology and Physics,” scaling from the individual to the Cosmos. CCMPE establishes the Ontological Priority of the Absolute Causal Entity (Brahman)—the Infinite Existence, and Absolute Consciousness (Puruṣa)—the Consciousness of Brahman, over Manifest Reality (Prakṛti), the finite Nature contained within it. Crucially, the model performs a fundamental reversal of the research hierarchy: it posits that Consciousness is the Causal Prime. Psychological states are not an effect of neurobiology but are instead determined by the structural nature of the Psyche—defined by the Chakras. The CCMPE introduces Saṃsāra as a structured evolutionary model, where the Chakras delineate the Psyche's evolutionary stages, and the Guṇas, Saṃskāras, and Vāsanās represent the qualities, properties, and behaviors within those stages. This systematic classification, akin to a "Periodic Table" of the human Psyche, enables a comprehensive understanding of the processes of Māyā by which the phases of psychic evolution are achieved, the qualities of Suffering and Happiness experienced in each phase, and the attendant behaviors expressed. The core intellectual and creative apparatus is Māyā. The Universal Māyā is defined as the Unitary Order of Design or the underlying Deterministic Information Systems Framework that governs both physical and psychological systems. The Individual’s Māyā is the intellectual and creative process (Intellect, Memory, and a Clock) that learns and strives for resonance with this Universal Design. The model utilizes Systemic Disorder/Order Entropy (Māyā/Yama) as an index of conceptual variance, formalizing the state of Ignorance and Wisdom within the system. This makes the CCMPE a systematic retelling of ancient wisdom rooted in Advaita Vedānta and Buddhist principles, integrated with Jungian Depth Psychology. By redefining Suffering (Duḥkha) as the necessary error signal compelling psychic evolution, the CCMPE provides the first unified, deterministic, and teleological framework that explains both the Darwinian and Jungian processes as manifestations of the same underlying Causal Engine, Māyā. This work offers a logically coherent and systematically complete explanation for future philosophical and psychological inquiry.
