Due to the above-described way of existence, i.e. self-preservation of consciousness, the formula of the law of existence of consciousness could also be named the formula of “the instinct of self-preservation”. Or “the formula of trinity” given that consciousness as a self-preservation instinct exists in such a way that it eternally and necessarily transforms through its natural three states. It reads:
reason + cause + purpose = consequence
Or to make it more understandable:
knowledge (reason) + dissatisfaction (cause) + satisfaction (purpose) = consciousness (consequence)
Note again that knowledge, dissatisfaction, and satisfaction do not have the meaning of existence, but they are only three alternate states of consciousness. As such, these states are not the cause of consciousness, nor is consciousness their consequence, as the formula seems to show, but consciousness causes itself transforming through its three different psycho-physical states with the meaning of reason, cause, purpose and consequence.
By means of knowledge about itself, consciousness is the reason for its own existence, because by this knowledge it knows what to do in order to be (if it did not know, it would not have a reason to do anything, and thus also it would not have reason to exist).
By means of its ability to feel dissatisfaction when its existence is threatened, consciousness becomes its own cause (if it did not feel a threat to itself as dissatisfaction, it would collapse and disappear as it would be all the same to it whether it existed or not).
By means of its ability to feel satisfaction in its existence, it itself is the purpose of its own existence. (If it did not feel satisfaction, then its existence would have no purpose or sense for it).
This formula of trinity with the meaning of the law of existence is not mathematical but logical. This is the logic of life, i.e. the logic of consciousness as the force with the meaning of the instinct of self-preservation. In mathematics, three cannot equal one, but in logic by which consciousness exists, it can. The egg, chick, and grown chicken are different three with the meaning of the one whole. That one is the consciousness that is always, again and again, objectively manifested in three different ways through time, performing a series of various psychological and physical actions.
This formula of the law of existence (which states that consciousness exists because it must) is at the same time the answer to that third question, “Why does consciousness exist?”
The law of existence was not brought forward by anyone, nor can it be abolished by anyone, because it is pure logical law which is valid as truth that implies itself. In the same way that no one has ever decided or ordered that two and two are four. It, simply, is so, and has always been like that and will always be, regardless of whether there is someone who understands it or not. No one can change anything here. The law of existence is always valid and only that which fulfills its conditions will always exist. And these conditions are that the one who wants to exist must exist itself by itself, as its own reason, cause, and purpose, inside it itself as its own consequence. The only phenomenon that fulfills these conditions is consciousness. Nothing else can fulfill these conditions save consciousness, therefore nothing else but consciousness can exist.
